Verbosity Commands (/verbose)

Configure the level of detail provided in automatic CVE alerts triggered by messages containing CVE IDs. These settings do not affect the output of /cve lookup.

Permission Required: Manage Server

Default Behavior:

  • By default, automatic CVE alerts use the standard (non-verbose) format.
  • The global setting applies to all channels unless a specific channel override is set.

/verbose enable_global

Sets the default alert style to verbose for the entire server. Alerts in channels without specific overrides will show more detail.

Example:

/verbose enable_global

/verbose disable_global

Sets the default alert style to standard (non-verbose) for the entire server. This is the default behavior. Alerts in channels without specific overrides will show less detail.

Example:

/verbose disable_global

/verbose set <channel> <verbosity>

Sets a verbosity override for a specific channel, ignoring the global setting for that channel.

Parameters:

  • <channel>: (Required) The text channel to configure.
  • <verbosity>: (Required) Whether to use verbose alerts (True) or standard alerts (False) in this channel.

Example:

/verbose set channel:#important-alerts verbosity:True
/verbose set channel:#general-feed verbosity:False

/verbose unset <channel>

Removes the verbosity override for a specific channel. That channel will revert to using the current global server setting.

Parameters:

  • <channel>: (Required) The text channel to reset.

Example:

/verbose unset channel:#important-alerts

/verbose setall <verbosity>

Sets a verbosity override for all currently configured CVE monitoring channels in the server. This is a quick way to make all channels behave the same, overriding any previous individual settings.

Parameters:

  • <verbosity>: (Required) Whether to set all channels to verbose (True) or standard (False).

Example:

/verbose setall verbosity:True

/verbose status [channel]

Shows the current global verbosity setting and lists any channels that have specific overrides. If a channel is provided, it shows the effective setting for that specific channel (whether inherited or overridden).

Parameters:

  • [channel]: (Optional) A specific text channel to check the effective status for.

Example:

/verbose status
/verbose status channel:#important-alerts

Example Response (No Channel Specified):

CVE Alert Verbosity Status
Global Setting: **Standard (Non-Verbose)**

Channel Overrides
#important-alerts: **Verbose** (Override)
#other-feed: **Standard** (Override)

or if no overrides:

CVE Alert Verbosity Status
Global Setting: **Verbose**

Channel Overrides
No channels have specific verbosity overrides. All are using the global setting.

Example Response (Channel Specified):

CVE Alert Verbosity Status
Global Setting: **Standard (Non-Verbose)**

#important-alerts: Verbose (Override)

or

CVE Alert Verbosity Status
Global Setting: **Verbose**

#general-chat: Inheriting Global (Verbose)

Verbosity Mode Differences

The verbosity setting affects the detail level of embeds posted automatically when a CVE is detected in a message:

  • Standard Mode (Default):
  • Shows CVE ID, Title, and CVSS Score.
  • Links to the NVD page for more details.
  • If in KEV, shows a brief KEV confirmation.
  • Verbose Mode:
  • Shows CVE ID, Title, Full Description, CVSS Score, Published/Modified Dates, CVSS Vector, CWE IDs, and References (limited).
  • If in KEV, shows full KEV details (Name, Vendor, Product, Dates, Action, Ransomware Use, Notes).
