 | `DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES` | no | Set to a comma-separated list of Vulnerability Rule IDs to exclude them from the scan report. Currently, excluded rules will get executed but the alerts from them will be suppressed. Rule IDs are numbers and can be found from the DAST log or on the [ZAP project](https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/blob/develop/docs/scanners.md). For example, `HTTP Parameter Override` has a rule ID of `10026`. |
