This parser supports an attributes that accept files as Base64 strings. These files are attached to the respective findings.

Example:

{
    "name": "My wonderful report",
    "findings": [
        {
            "title": "Vuln with image",
            "description": "Some very long description",
            "severity": "Medium",
            "files": [
                {
                    "title": "Screenshot from 2017-04-10 16-54-19.png",
                    "data": "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABWgAAAK0CAIAAAARSkPJAAAAA3N<...>TkSuQmCC"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

This parser supports an attribute name and type to be able to define TestType. Based on this, you can define custom HASHCODE_FIELDS or DEDUPLICATION_ALGORITHM in the settings.

Example:

{
    "name": "My wonderful report",
    "type": "My custom Test type",
    "findings": [
    ]
}
