[Problem Statement]
There are cases when NSE scripts timeout/not run. Without such indication from output, it's hard to quantify the results, understand impact, tune the script configuration, especially when having batch scanning against a large number of endpoints.

[Fix]
Adding "Script debug message" to structured output (e.g. xml) helps the programmatic analysis of Nmap report in batch. The debug message includes:

  • Script timed out. (A script execution timed out)
  • Script filtered. (A script finished without output)
