Standardize Scan Results for Report Generation

[s4dhulabs]

Description:

Currently, the Vimana framework allows plugins to save scan results to disk and the database. However, the report generation feature is still in the testing phase, and each plugin has its own methods for presenting results and enabling post-scan interaction. For example, the DMT plugin not only saves the scan results but also creates a session in the Sessions section for further analysis. This session can be accessed later for a more in-depth analysis, using the vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and metadata from the DMT scan as input.

To streamline the report generation process, we need to establish a standardized format for scan results across all plugins. This will enable a unified reporting feature that can generate reports in various formats (e.g., summarized, technical, executive) based on the input from any plugin.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run a scan using any plugin (e.g., DMT).
2. Observe that the scan results are saved in a plugin-specific format.
3. Attempt to generate a report using the current report generation feature.
4. Notice the lack of standardization in the scan results, making it difficult to generate consistent reports.

Expected Behavior:

• All plugins should save scan results in a standardized format.
• The report generation feature should be able to accept input from any plugin and generate reports in various formats (e.g., summarized, technical, executive).
• The standardized format should include essential details such as vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, metadata, and any other relevant information.

Proposed Solution:

• Define a standardized format for scan results that includes all necessary details.
• Update all plugins to save scan results in the standardized format.
• Implement a unified report generation feature that can accept input from any plugin and generate reports in the specified formats.
• Ensure that the standardized format supports both the initial scan results and any post-scan interactions or sessions.

Additional Context:

This issue is critical for ensuring the reliability and consistency of the report generation feature within the Vimana framework. By standardizing the scan results, we can provide a more cohesive and professional reporting experience for users.
