Configure an osv-scanner.toml file to ignore specific vulnerabilities and set scanner behavior for a project

domain: osv.dev · 6 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Create an osv-scanner.toml file at the root of the repository in the format documented by OSV-Scanner
  2. Add an '[[IgnoredVulns]]' entry for each vulnerability ID to suppress, providing the 'id' field and an optional 'reason' string for audit trail purposes
  3. Configure path ignore patterns if specific subdirectories such as test fixtures or vendor code should be excluded from scanning
  4. Reference the config file explicitly with '--config osv-scanner.toml' when running osv-scanner, or place it where the tool auto-discovers it
  5. Commit the toml file to version control so the ignore list is auditable and consistent across environments
  6. Periodically review ignored vulnerability IDs to retire ignores when upstream fixes are applied
