In order to track CVEs within an organization, it may be useful to cross- reference your ticket tracking system with NIST's National Vulnerability Database. The 'nvdXjira' utility allows you to do just that for the Jira Ticket Tracking system.
'nvdXjira' reads NVD XML data and cross-references CVEs found in the input with a Jira instance.
'nvdXjira' is written in python, using only modules included in the base distribution.
python < 2.6 probably isn't going to be sufficient, though.
'nvdXjira' comes with a standard python 'setup.py' file, so you should be able to just run 'python setup.py install'.
Create a configuration file for 'nvdXjira', specifying the Jira URL, default project, and login credentials:
username = cvebot
password = supahs3kret
project = VULN
url = https://jira.your.domain
To create new tickets for any CVEs found in the most recent data from NIST using the 'security' project and tagging each ticket using the 'nvd' label:
curl https://nvd.nist.gov/static/feeds/xml/cve/nvdcve-2.0-recent.xml | \
nvdXjira -p security -t nvd
Please see the manual page for details.
