You can define hook scripts to be run by cvefixer all and cvefixer hooks, specified as follows in the JSON config file:

{
  "hooks": [
    "/home/janie/.local/bin/update_git_repos.sh"
  ]

cvefixer looks for the config file in the following locations, in random order:

• $HOME/.config/cvefixer/cvefixer.json

• $HOME/.config/cvefixer.json
• $HOME/cvefixer.json
