Nuclei Templates Missing – SSL & Screenshot Scans Failing (MetaData Recon Status: Failed)

Title

Nuclei Templates Missing – SSL & Screenshot Scans Failing (MetaData Recon Status: Failed)

---

Environment

• OS: Kali Linux 2024.3 (VirtualBox)
• Ars0n Framework Version: beta-0.0.4
• Docker: (output of docker --version)
• Docker Compose: (output of docker-compose --version)

---

Description

During Auto Scan → MetaData Reconnaissance step, the scan fails.

MetaData Recon shows:

Status: Failed

From container logs:

[NUCLEI-SCREENSHOT-ERR] Could not find template '/root/nuclei-templates/headless/screenshots.yaml'
[NUCLEI-SSL-ERR] Could not find template '/root/nuclei-templates/ssl/'
[FTL] Could not run nuclei: no templates provided for scan

Additionally:

Current nuclei version: v3.3.8 (outdated)
Current nuclei-templates version: (outdated)

---

Observed Behavior

• SSL scan fails
• Screenshot scan fails
• ROI calculation fails
• MetaData Recon status shows Failed
• Nuclei exits with status 1

---

Expected Behavior

• Nuclei templates should be available inside the API container
• /root/nuclei-templates/ directory should exist
• SSL and Screenshot scans should execute successfully
• MetaData Recon and ROI should complete without errors

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Fresh install of beta-0.0.4
2. Run docker-compose up --build
3. Create a Wildcard target
4. Run Auto Scan
5. MetaData Recon step fails

To solve this issue you have to modify 2 docker file and install nuclei & nuclei templete on your machine.
1. ars0n-framework-v2/docker/nuclei/Dockerfile
Replace with this

FROM ubuntu:22.04
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

# Install dependencies
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y \
    wget \
    gnupg \
    ca-certificates \
    git \
    unzip \
    curl \
    jq

# Detect architecture and install Chrome accordingly
RUN arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) && \
    if [ "$arch" = "amd64" ]; then \
        wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - && \
        echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list && \
        apt-get update && \
        apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable; \
    elif [ "$arch" = "arm64" ]; then \
        apt-get update && \
        apt-get install -y chromium-browser && \
        ln -s /usr/bin/chromium-browser /usr/bin/google-chrome; \
    else \
        echo "Unsupported architecture: $arch"; \
        exit 1; \
    fi && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Install latest Nuclei based on architecture
RUN arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) && \
    LATEST=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/projectdiscovery/nuclei/releases/latest | jq -r '.tag_name' | tr -d 'v') && \
    echo "Installing nuclei version: ${LATEST}" && \
    wget https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/releases/download/v${LATEST}/nuclei_${LATEST}_linux_${arch}.zip && \
    unzip nuclei_${LATEST}_linux_${arch}.zip && \
    mv nuclei /usr/local/bin/ && \
    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nuclei && \
    rm nuclei_${LATEST}_linux_${arch}.zip

# Install Nuclei templates
RUN nuclei -update-templates

# Create necessary directories
RUN mkdir -p /tmp/nuclei-mounts && \
    chmod 777 /tmp/nuclei-mounts

# Set Chrome path for nuclei
ENV CHROME_PATH=/usr/bin/google-chrome

COPY entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh
RUN chmod +x /entrypoint.sh

WORKDIR /app
ENTRYPOINT ["/entrypoint.sh"]

2. docker-compose.yml
modify the nuclei section with this
Replace nuclei templete path

nuclei:
    container_name: ars0n-framework-v2-nuclei-1
    build: ./docker/nuclei
    depends_on:
      - api
    volumes:
      - temp_data:/tmp
      - /YOUR_NUCLEI_TEMPLETE_PATH/:/root/nuclei-templates  # ← add this
    entrypoint: ["sleep", "infinity"]
    shm_size: '2g'
    restart: "no"
    networks:
      - ars0n-network

after modify those file just this command
sudo docker-compose build --no-cache
sudo docker-compose up
