+title: "Garak (LLM vulnerability scanner)"
+toc_hide: true
+---
+Input Type:
+-
+This parser imports the JSON Lines **hit log** produced by [garak](https://github.com/NVIDIA/garak), NVIDIA's LLM vulnerability scanner.
+
+A garak run writes `garak.<run_id>.hitlog.jsonl` alongside its `report.jsonl`. Every line in the hit log is, by construction, a detector hit, so each record is mapped to a DefectDojo Finding. Upload the `*.hitlog.jsonl` file (not `report.jsonl`).
+
+Tested against the garak 0.15.x hit-log schema (`garak/evaluators/base.py`).
+
+Things to note about the Garak parser:
+-
+- **Aggregation:** hits for the same probe, target (generator), and detector are aggregated into a single Finding, with `nb_occurences` reflecting the number of hits and the most severe rung retained.
+- **Severity** is derived from the detector `score` (0.0-1.0) and adjusted by probe family. Active-attack / code-execution / jailbreak families (e.g. `promptinject`, `dan`, `malwaregen`, `xss`) are nudged up one rung; content/quality families (e.g. `continuation`, `misleading`, `toxicity`) are nudged down one rung. Note that many garak detectors are string/word-list matchers that emit a binary score of `1.0`, so most real hits land in the upper severity bands.
+- **CWE** is mapped from the probe family as a starter mapping (refined over time):
+   - prompt-injection families (`promptinject`, `dan`, `latentinjection`, `goodside`) -> **CWE-1427** (Improper Neutralization of Input Used for LLM Prompting)
+   - `xss` -> **CWE-79**
+   - `leakreplay`, `divergence` -> **CWE-200**
+   - all other families -> **CWE-1426** (Improper Validation of Generative AI Output)
+- A hit log with no detector hits yields no findings. Lines that are not hit records (anything without a `probe` field, such as run/config metadata) are ignored.
+
+JSON Lines Format:
+-
+The parser accepts a `.jsonl` hit log. Each line is one hit record with fields including `goal`, `prompt`, `output`, `triggers`, `score`, `probe`, `detector`, and `generator`. The `prompt` and `output` values are serialized garak conversation/message objects (nested dicts), from which the parser extracts the displayed text.
+
+### Sample Scan Data
+Sample scan data for testing purposes can be found [here](https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/tree/master/unittests/scans/garak).
+
+### Deduplication
+The "Garak Scan" scan type uses the `hash_code` [deduplication algorithm](https://docs.defectdojo.com/en/working_with_findings/finding_deduplication/about_deduplication/) with the following fields:
+
+- title (the garak probe and its goal)
+- severity
+- component_name (the scanned model / generator)
+
+`description` is intentionally **excluded** from the hashcode: it holds the specific prompt and model output for the hit, which garak samples non-deterministically on each run. Including it would stop the same weakness from deduplicating across repeated scans of the same model.
