Filters

Filters transform values when outputting variables. Chain them with the pipe | character.

INFO

The examples below use vuln. as the loop variable (e.g. vuln.severity). This assumes you are inside a {% for vuln in vulnerabilities %} loop.

Date formatting

formatDate

Formats a date value. Long and full use English month names; short follows the rendering environment's locale.

{{ dates.startDate | formatDate: 'short' }}   <!-- e.g. 1/15/2025 -->
{{ dates.startDate | formatDate: 'long' }}    <!-- January 15, 2025 -->
{{ dates.startDate | formatDate: 'full' }}    <!-- Wednesday, January 15, 2025 -->

Format	Output
short	Locale-dependent, e.g. 1/15/2025
long	January 15, 2025
full	Wednesday, January 15, 2025

String manipulation

capitalize, uppercase, lowercase

{{ "hello world" | capitalize }}   <!-- Hello world -->
{{ report.title | uppercase }}     <!-- PENETRATION TEST REPORT -->
{{ report.title | lowercase }}    <!-- penetration test report -->

Score formatting

score

Formats a numeric value to one decimal place. Returns 0.0 for null or undefined values.

{{ vuln.cvss.score | score }}   <!-- 7.5 -->
{{ vuln.cvss.baseScore | score }}

cvssMetric

Returns Not Defined for null or empty CVSS metric values.

{{ vuln.cvss.AV | cvssMetric }}   <!-- Network -->
{{ vuln.cvss.E | cvssMetric }}    <!-- Not Defined (if empty) -->

Color mapping

These filters return hex color codes that can be used in inline styles.

severityColor / severityBackgroundColor

Map a severity string to a color. Use severityColor for text and severityBackgroundColor for backgrounds.

These are typically used in table cells where you can set the cell's color via the visual editor, or in inline styles:

{{ vuln.severity | severityColor }}
{{ vuln.severity | severityBackgroundColor }}

textColor / backgroundColor

Map a numeric CVSS score to a color.

Range	Severity
9.0 – 10.0	Critical
7.0 – 8.9	High
4.0 – 6.9	Medium
0.1 – 3.9	Low
0	Informational

{{ vuln.cvss.score | backgroundColor }}
{{ vuln.cvss.score | textColor }}

mapColor / mapBgColor

Map arbitrary values to custom colors. Format: 'key1:#hex1,key2:#hex2,_default:#hex'.

{{ vuln.remediation_complexity | mapColor: 'Easy:#22c55e,Medium:#eab308,Hard:#ef4444,_default:#6b7280' }}
{{ vuln.priority | mapBgColor: 'P1:#dc2626,P2:#ea580c,P3:#ca8a04,P4:#2563eb' }}

Matching is case-insensitive. Use _default for a fallback color.

Value mapping

mapValue

Translate or map a value to a different string. Format: 'key1:value1,key2:value2,_default:fallback'.

{{ vuln.severity | mapValue: 'Critical:Critique,High:Élevé,Medium:Moyen,Low:Faible,Info:Information' }}
{{ vuln.remediation_complexity | mapValue: 'Easy:Facile,Medium:Moyen,Hard:Difficile,_default:Inconnu' }}

Matching is case-insensitive. Returns the original value if no match is found and no _default is set.

Sorting

sort_by

Sort an array by a property. Supports nested properties with dot-notation.

<!-- Sort by CVSS score -->
{% for vuln in vulnerabilities | sort_by: 'cvss.score' %}
  {{ vuln.title }}: {{ vuln.cvss.score | score }}
{% endfor %}

<!-- Sort alphabetically by title -->
{% for vuln in vulnerabilities | sort_by: 'title' %}
  {{ vuln.title }}
{% endfor %}

sort_multi

Sort by multiple keys with custom value ordering. Format: 'property1:value1|value2;property2:value1|value2'.

Semicolons separate sort keys, colons separate property from value order, pipes separate values.

<!-- Sort by severity (Critical first), then alphabetically by title -->
{% for vuln in vulnerabilities | sort_multi: 'severity:Critical|High|Medium|Low|Info;title' %}
  {{ vuln.severity }}: {{ vuln.title }} ({{ vuln.cvss.score | score }})
{% endfor %}

Without a custom value list, a key sorts in ascending order. To sort by score from highest to lowest, use sort_by: 'cvss.score' | reverse.

Filtering by vulnerability template

When a report uses more than one vulnerability template (for example, a Web template and a Mobile template on the same report), every finding still ends up in the same vulnerabilities array. Each finding carries a templateName field with the name of the vulnerability template it was created from, so you can split or filter the list inside your report template.

Loop only findings from one template

Use a Liquid if inside the loop to render a section per template:

<!-- Web findings -->
{% for vuln in vulnerabilities %}
  {% if vuln.templateName == 'Web' %}
    {{ forloop.index }}. {{ vuln.title }} ({{ vuln.severity }})
    {{ vuln.description }}
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

<!-- Mobile findings -->
{% for vuln in vulnerabilities %}
  {% if vuln.templateName == 'Mobile' %}
    {{ forloop.index }}. {{ vuln.title }} ({{ vuln.severity }})
    {{ vuln.description }}
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Pre-filter with the where filter

The standard Liquid where filter returns a sub-array, which keeps forloop.index and size accurate for each group:

{% assign web_vulns = vulnerabilities | where: 'templateName', 'Web' %}
{% assign mobile_vulns = vulnerabilities | where: 'templateName', 'Mobile' %}

Web findings: {{ web_vulns | size }}
Mobile findings: {{ mobile_vulns | size }}

{% for vuln in web_vulns %}
  {{ forloop.index }}. {{ vuln.title }}
{% endfor %}

You can chain it with sort_by or sort_multi to order each group independently:

{% assign web_vulns = vulnerabilities | where: 'templateName', 'Web' | sort_by: 'cvss.score' %}

TIP

The name must match the vulnerability template name exactly (case-sensitive). If you rename a vulnerability template, also update any templateName comparisons in your report templates.

Standard Liquid filters

All standard LiquidJS filters are also available. Some commonly used ones:

Filter	Description	Example
size	Array length or string length	{{ vulnerabilities | size }}
plus	Add a number	{{ stats.criticalCount | plus: stats.highCount }}
minus	Subtract a number	{{ stats.totalVulnerabilities | minus: stats.informativeCount }}
default	Fallback value if empty	{{ client.logo | default: '/placeholder.png' }}
join	Join array items	{{ vuln.tags | join: ', ' }}
replace	Replace text	{{ report.title | replace: 'Draft', 'Final' }}
truncate	Truncate to length	{{ vuln.description | truncate: 100 }}
strip_html	Remove HTML tags	{{ vuln.description | strip_html }}
newline_to_br	Convert newlines to <br>	{{ text | newline_to_br }}
