A python script that:
a) parses NIST NVD CVEs, b) prcoesses and exports them to CSV files, c) creates a postgres database and imports all the data in it, and d) provides query capabilities for this CVEs database.
It required Python 2.7.x (soon to be migrated to Python 3)
Usage examples:
-
Download, parse and save in CSV files all CVEs from NIST NVD: ./cve_manager.py -d -p -csv
-
Create a postgresql database to host the downloaded CVEs: ./cve_manager.py -u -ps -host -db <database_name> -ow <new_owner of database> -cd
-
Create the tables and views at the database: ./cve_manager.py -u -ps -host -db <database_name> -ct
-
Import all data into the created database (requires the download, parse and sdtore as CSV files first, as explained above): ./cve_manager.py -u -ps -host -db <database_name> -idb -p
-
Query for a specific CVE: ./cve_manager.py -u -ps -host -db <database_name> -cve 2019-2434
-
Query for all CVEs related with a product (e.g. windows), with a base metric score greater than a value (e.g. 9, that is critcal), and a publication date equal or newer than a specific year (e.g. 2018): ./cve_manager.py -u -ps -host -db <database_name> -pr radar -sc 9 -dt 2018
-
Query for all CVEs with a base metric score greater than a value (e.g. 9, that is critcal), and a publication date equal or newer than a specific year (e.g. 2019): ./cve_manager.py -u -ps -host -db <database_name> -sc 9 -dt 2019
-
Truncate the contents of all tables (required if you want to repeat the import process so as to update the data): ./cve_manager.py -u -ps -host -db <database_name> -tr
-
Delete the database (remove it completely): ./cve_manager.py -u -ps -host -db <database_name> -dd
