- First use cve-search instructions to install the cve-search tool on the system. REFERENCE: https://github.com/cve-search/cve-search
- Then run extract.py for gathering vulnerabilities found in scaning_Report.json webgoat 7.1 and store them in webgoat_Report.txt.
- Then open main.py, install all the necessary libraries over the system.
- Run main.py using terminal(python main.py).
- It will generate alert whenever system found any known vulnerability.
- At last wait for the report and pie chart generated by the system.
cve-search is a tool to import CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) and CPE (Common Platform Enumeration) into a MongoDB to facilitate search and processing of CVEs.
The main objective of the software is to avoid doing direct and public lookups into the public CVE databases. Local lookups are usually faster and you can limit your sensitive queries via the Internet.
cve-search includes a back-end to store vulnerabilities and related information, an intuitive web interface for search and managing vulnerabilities, a series of tools to query the system and a web API interface.
cve-search is used by many organizations including the public CVE services of CIRCL.
This document gives you basic information how to start with cve-search. For more information please refer to the documentation in the /doc folder of this project.

The requirements can be installed with pip:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
First, you'll need to have a Python 3 installation (3.3 or higher). Then you need to install MongoDB (2.2) from source (this should also work with any standard packages from your favorite distribution). Don't forget to install the headers for development while installing MongoDB. You can go to http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/installation/ for to get the packages for your distribution, or http://www.mongodb.org/downloads for the source code.
For the initial run, you need to populate the CVE database by running:
./sbin/db_mgmt_cpe_dictionary.py -p
./sbin/db_mgmt_json.py -p
./sbin/db_updater.py -c # This will take >45minutes on a decent machine, please be patient
It will fetch all the existing JSON files from the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures feed and the Common Platform Enumeration. The initial Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) import might take some time depending of your configuration.
If you want to add the cross-references from NIST, Red Hat and other vendors thanks to VIA4CVE:
./sbin/db_mgmt_ref.py
NB: If you want to import your own JSON from VIA4CVE, you have to replace URL in sources.ini the VIA4 attribute with file:///PATH/TO/VIA4CVE/VIA4CVE-feed.json.
A more detailed documentation can be found in the Documentations folder of the project.
The MongoDB database is called cvedb and there are 11 collections:
- cves (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure items) - source NVD NIST (JSON)
- cpe (Common Platform Enumeration items) - source NVD NIST
- cwe (Common Weakness Enumeration items) - source NVD NIST
- capec (Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification) - source NVD NIST
- ranking (ranking rules per group) - local cve-search
- d2sec (Exploitation reference from D2 Elliot Web Exploitation Framework) - source d2sec.com
- MITRE Reference Key/Maps - source MITRE reference Key/Maps
- ms - (Microsoft Bulletin (Security Vulnerabilities and Bulletin)) - source Microsoft
- exploitdb (Offensive Security - Exploit Database) - source offensive security
- info (metadata of each collection like last-modified) - local cve-search
- via4 VIA4CVE cross-references.
The Redis database has 3 databases:
- 10: The cpe (Common Platform Enumeration) cache - source MongoDB cvedb collection cpe
- 11: The notification database - source cve-search
- 12: The CVE reference database is a cross-reference database to CVE ids against various vendors ID - source NVD NIST/MITRE
The reference database has 3 additional sources:
- MITRE Reference Key/Maps.
- Red Hat RPM to CVE database.
- Red Hat RHSA Oval database.
An updater script helps to start the db_mgmt_*
./sbin/db_updater.py -v
You can run it in a crontab, logging is done in syslog by default.
To easily drop and re-populate all the databases
./sbin/db_updater.py -v -f
This will drop all the existing external sources and reimport everything. This operation can take some time and it's usually only required when new attributes parsing are added in cve-search.
You can search the database using search.py
./bin/search.py -p cisco:ios:12.4
./bin/search.py -p cisco:ios:12.4 -o json
./bin/search.py -f nagios -n
./bin/search.py -p microsoft:windows_7 -o html
If you want to search all the WebEx vulnerabilities and only printing the official references from the supplier.
./bin/search.py -p webex: -o csv -v "cisco"
You can also dump the JSON for a specific CVE ID.
./bin/search.py -c CVE-2010-3333
Or you can use the XMPP bot
./bin/search_xmpp.py -j mybot@jabber.org -p strongpassword
Or dump the last 2 CVE entries in RSS or Atom format
./bin/dump_last.py -f atom -l 2
Or you can use the webinterface.
./web/index.py
There is a ranking database allowing to rank software vulnerabilities based on their common platform enumeration name. The ranking can be done per organization or department within your organization or any meaningful name for you.
As an example, you can add a partial CPE name like "sap:netweaver" which is very critical for your accounting department.
./sbin/db_ranking.py -c "sap:netweaver" -g "accounting" -r 3
and then you can lookup the ranking (-r option) for a specific CVE-ID:
./bin/search.py -c CVE-2012-4341 -r -n
As cve-search is based on a set of tools, it can be used and combined with standard Unix tools. If you ever wonder what are the top vendors using the term "unknown" for their vulnerabilities:
python3 bin/search_fulltext.py -q unknown -f | jq -c '. | .vulnerable_configuration[0]' | cut -f5 -d: | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -10
1500 oracle
381 sun
372 hp
232 google
208 ibm
126 mozilla
103 microsoft
100 adobe
78 apple
68 linux
You can compare CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System ) values of some products based on their CPE name. Like comparing oracle:java versus sun:jre and using R to make some statistics about their CVSS values:
python3 bin/search.py -p oracle:java -o json | jq -r '.cvss' | Rscript -e 'summary(as.numeric(read.table(file("stdin"))[,1]))'
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
1.800 5.350 9.300 7.832 10.000 10.000
python3 bin/search.py -p sun:jre -o json | jq -r '.cvss' | Rscript -e 'summary(as.numeric(read.table(file("stdin"))[,1]))'
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
0.000 5.000 7.500 7.333 10.000 10.000
If you want to index all the CVEs from your current MongoDB collection:
./sbin/db_fulltext.py -l 0
and you query the fulltext index (to get a list of matching CVE-ID):
./bin/search_fulltext.py -q NFS -q Linux
or to query the fulltext index and output the JSON object for each CVE-ID:
./bin/search_fulltext.py -q NFS -q Linux -f
The fulltext indexer visualization is using the fulltext indexes to build a list of the most common keywords used in CVE. NLTK is required to generate the keywords with the most common English stopwords and lemmatize the output. NTLK for Python 3 exists but you need to use the alpha version of NLTK.
./bin/search_fulltext.py -g -s >cve.json
You can see a visualization on the demo site.
The web interface is a minimal interface to see the last CVE entries and query a specific CVE. You'll need flask in order to run the website and Flask-PyMongo. To start the web interface:
cd ./web
./index.py
Then you can connect on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ to browser the last CVE.
The web interface includes a minimal JSON API to get CVE by ID, by vendor or product. A public version of the API is also accessible on cve.circl.lu.
List the know vendors in JSON
curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/browse/
Dump the product of a specific vendor in JSON
curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/browse/zyxel
