cpe2cve
cpe2cve is a command line tool for scanning an inventory of CPE names for vulnerabilities.
It expects a stream of lines of delimiter-separated fields, one of these fields being a delimiter-separated list of CPE names in the inventory.
Vulnerability feeds should be provided as arguments to the program in JSON format.
Output is a stream of delimiter-separated input value decorated with a vulnerability ID (CVE) and a delimiter-separated list of CPE names that match this vulnerability.
Unwanted input fields could be erased from the output with -e option.
Input and output delimiters can be configured with -d, -d2, -o an -o2 options.
The column to which output the CVE and matches for that CVE can be configured with -cve and -matches options correspondingly.
Example 1: scan a software for vulnerabilities
echo "cpe:/a:gnu:glibc:2.28" | cpe2cve -cpe 1 -e 1 -cve 1 nvdcve-1.0-*.json.gz
CVE-2009-4881
CVE-2015-8985
CVE-2016-4429
CVE-2010-3192
CVE-2010-4756Example 2: find vulnerabilities in software inventory per production host
./cpe2cve -d ' ' -d2 , -o ' ' -o2 , -cpe 2 -e 2 -matches 3 -cve 2 nvdcve-1.0-*.json.gz << EOF

csv2cpe is a tool that generates an URI-bound CPE from CSV input, flags configure the meaning of each input field:
-cpe_part-- identifies the class of a product: h for hardware, a for application and o for OS-cpe_vendor-- identifies the person or organisation that manufactured or created the product-cpe_product-- describes or identifies the most common and recognisable title or name of the product-cpe_version-- vendor-specific alphanumeric strings characterising the particular release version of the product-cpe_update-- vendor-specific alphanumeric strings characterising the particular update, service pack, or point release of the product-cpe_edition-- capture edition-related terms applied by the vendor to the product; this attribute is considered deprecated in CPE specification version 2.3 and it should be assigned the logical value ANY except where required for backward compatibility with version 2.2 of the CPE specification.-cpe_swedition-- characterises how the product is tailored to a particular market or class of end users-cpe_targetsw-- characterises the software computing environment within which the product operates-cpe_targethw-- characterises the software computing environment within which the product operates-cpe_language-- defines the language supported in the user interface of the product being described; must be valid language tags as defined by [RFC5646]-cpe_other-- any other general descriptive or identifying information which is vendor- or product-specific and which does not logically fit in any other attribute value
Omitted parts of the CPE name defaults to logical value ANY, as per specification
Optional flag -lower brings the strings to lower case.
Example: generate URI-bound CPE name out of comma-separated list of attributes
$ echo 'a,Microsoft,Internet Explorer,8.1,SP1,-,*' | csv2cpe -x -lower -cpe_part=1 -cpe_vendor=2 -cpe_product=3 -cpe_version=4 -cpe_update=5 -cpe_edition=6 -cpe_language=7
cpe:/a:microsoft:internet_explorer:8.1:sp1:-fireeye2nvd
fireeye2nvd downloads the vulnerability data from FireEye and converts it into NVD format. The resulting file can be used as a feed in cpe2cve processor
flexera2nvd
flexera2nvd downloads the vulnerability data from Flexera and converts it into NVD format. The resulting file can be used as a feed in cpe2cve processor
idefense2nvd
idefense2nvd downloads the vulnerability data from Idefense and converts it into NVD format. The resulting file can be used as a feed in cpe2cve processor
nvdsync
nvdsync synchronizes NVD data feeds to local directory; it checks the hashes of the files against the ones provided by NVD and only updates the changed files.
rpm2cpe
rpm2cpe takes a delimiter-separated input with one of the fields containing RPM package name and produces delimiter-separated output consisting of the same fields plus CPE name parsed from RPM package name.
Example: generate URI-bound CPE name out of RPM package filename
echo openoffice-eu-writer-4.1.5-9789.i586.rpm | rpm2cpe -rpm=1 -cpe=2 -e=1
cpe:/a::openoffice-eu-writer:4.1.5:9789:~~~~i586~rustsec2nvd
rustsec2nvd converts the vulnerabilities from the Rustsec Advisory-DB into NVD format. The resulting file can be used as a feed in cpe2cve processor
snyk2nvd
snyk2nvd downloads the vulnerability data from Snyk and converts it into NVD format. The resulting file can be used as a feed in cpe2cve processor
vfeed2nvd
vfeed2nvd converts the vulnerability data from vFeed into NVD format. The resulting file can be used as a feed in cpe2cve processor
vulndb
vulndb is a command line tool to manage NVD-like vulnerability databases, backed by MySQL.
Supports NVD CVE JSON 1.0 feeds. Data is versioned, organized by provider names and grouped by vendor, custom, and snoozes datasets:
- Vendor dataset: read-only CVE feeds we continuously import.
- Custom dataset: allows to overwrite CVEs from vendor data with custom data during exports
- Snooze dataset: user-defined CVE and metadata with deadline, used for remediation automation
See vulndb help for details.
