cvss.js by turingpoint.

A tiny library to work with CVSS vectors (v3.0 and v3.1) in JavaScript. The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a free and open standard. It is owned and managed by FIRST.Org.

Installation

Install the @turingpointde/cvss.js package:

# use yarn or npm
yarn add @turingpointde/cvss.js

Import the library to use it in your code:

const CVSS = require("@turingpointde/cvss.js");
// or
import CVSS from "@turingpointde/cvss.js";

You can also use the library directly from the CDN (instead of yarn or npm):

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@turingpointde/cvss.js@latest/dist/production.min.js"></script>

Usage

After importing the library, the CVSS function must first be called with the vector as parameter.

// Vector only with base score
const vector1 = CVSS("CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:L");
// Vector with temporal score
const vector2 = CVSS("CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:T/RC:R");
// Vector with environmental score
const vector3 = CVSS(
  "CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/CR:M/IR:H/AR:M/MAV:N/MAC:H/MPR:L/MUI:N/MS:C/MC:N/MI:L/MA:L"
);

It is possible to pass in an object as well

const vectorObject = {
  CVSS: "3.0",
  AV: "N",
  AC: "H",
  PR: "H",
  UI: "R",
  S: "U",
  C: "H",
  I: "N",
  A: "N"
};

console.log(CVSS(vectorObject).vector); // "CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"

To get the scores, simply call the respective function.

// Create a vector
const vector = CVSS(
  "CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:P/RL:O/CR:M/IR:H/AR:M/MAV:N/MAC:H/MPR:L/MUI:N/MS:C/MC:N/MI:L/MA:L"
);

console.log(vector.getScore()); // 3.6
console.log(vector.getTemporalScore()); // 3.3
console.log(vector.getEnvironmentalScore()); // 5.1

Sometimes it is useful to get a qualitative rating of a score

const vector = CVSS("CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:L");

console.log(vector.getRating()); // Medium

A few useful variables/functions to work with the vectors:

const vector = CVSS("CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:L");

console.log(vector.isValid); // true
console.log(vector.vector); // CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:L
console.log(vector.getVersion()); // "3.0"

The following functions are suitable for displaying the vector in a human-readable form or for performing your own calculations with the vector

const vector = CVSS("CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:T/RC:R/MAC:X/MUI:X/MA:X/MI:X");

console.log(vector.getVectorObject()); // { CVSS: "3.0", AV: "N", AC: "H", PR: "L", UI: "R", S: "C", C: "L", I: "L", A: "L", E: "U", RL: "T", RC: "R", CR: "X", IR: "X", AR: "X", MAV: "X", MAC: "X", MPR: "X", MUI: "X", MS: "X" , MC: "X", MI: "X", MA: "X" }
console.log(vector.getCleanVectorString()); // "CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:T/RC:R"
console.log(vector.getDetailedVectorObject()); // see spoiler below
