Currently, Vuls does not support vulnerability detection for Debian Testing. Therefore, Kali Linux cannot be supported.
The Kali Linux distribution is based on Debian Testing
ref: https://www.kali.org/docs/policy/kali-linux-relationship-with-debian/
It is possible to scan by rewriting /etc/debian_version
to the version supported by Vuls, but it is highly unlikely that you will get correct results.
$ cat /etc/debian_version

Getting issues in the Kali Linux, Any help regarding this?
It is possible to scan Kali Linux, but since there is no vulnerability information for the packages provided by Kali Linux, it cannot be detected.
When runing vuls locally on a kali, the system fails to scan because it is an unsupported OS. As Kali is just a Debian version, can this not be detected to enable to scan to progress?
A temporary workaround is to edit /etc/os-release and change ID to Debian (from Kali) and VERSION_ID to a valid Debian version (e.g. 11.3)
