jeremylong/Open-Vulnerability-Project

Java libraries for working with available vulnerability data sources (GitHub Security Advisories, NVD, EPSS, CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, etc.)

Open Vulnerability Project

The Open Vulnerability Project is a collection of Java libraries and a CLI to work with various vulnerability data-sources (NVD, GitHub Security Advisories, CISA Known Exploited Vulnerablity Catalog, FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS), etc.).

• open-vulnerability-clients is a collection of clients to retrieve vulnerability data from various data-feeds and APIs.
• vulnz a simple CLI that can be used to access the vulnerability sources and persist the data using the open-vulnerability-store.

Caching the NVD CVE API Data

One of the primary uses of the vulnz CLI is to be able to create a local cache of the NVD CVE Data from their API. See the vulnz/README.md for instructions on how to create and maintain the local cache.

Upgrading from vuln-tools

The project started off called vuln-tools and the various APIs were seperated into standalone JAR files. The project has been renamed to the Open Vulnerability Project.

• All of the client libraries are now in the open-vulnerability-clients.
• Packages have been renamed/moved:
  • io.github.jeremylong.ghsa.* -> io.github.jeremylong.openvulnerability.client.ghsa.*
  • io.github.jeremylong.nvdlib.* -> 'io.github.jeremylong.openvulnerability.client.nvd.*'
  • io.github.jeremylong.nvdlib.nvd -> 'io.github.jeremylong.openvulnerability.client.nvd.*'
• The NvdCveApi class has been renamed to NvdCveClient.
