Configure njsscan

A .njsscan file in the root of the source code directory allows you to configure njsscan.

---
- nodejs-extensions:
  - .js

  template-extensions:
  - .new
  - .hbs
  - ''

  ignore-filenames:
  - skip.js

  ignore-paths:
  - __MACOSX
  - skip_dir
  - node_modules

  ignore-extensions:
  - .jsx

  ignore-rules:
  - regex_injection_dos
  - pug_jade_template

Suppress Findings

You can suppress findings from javascript source files by adding the comment // njsscan-ignore: rule_id1, rule_id2 to the line that trigger the findings.

Example:

app.get('/some/redirect', function (req, res) {
    var target = req.param("target");
    res.redirect(target); // njsscan-ignore: express_open_redirect
});
