Add short description for context

[mterron]

The current implementation shows CVE ids and source with no context. It'd be useful if you add a description for each message so people can filter on things they are interested in without having to visit every link.

Hi @mterron
sorry for the delayed response, but I was busy with other things lately.

Could you provide some examples what information you expect in what case?

Thanks

Something like:

CVE-2017-3204 The Go SSH library (x/crypto/ssh) by default does not verify host keys, facilitating man-in-the-middle attacks. Default behavior changed in commit e4e2799 to require explicitly registering a hostkey verification mechanism. [SOURCE LINK]

Hey @mterron
that would mean that the bot has to parse the content. Right now it only shows the title and the url, so if the title does not contain a short description, then it only shows the CVE.

Maybe I can implement a flag for checking out the content and then show a short description?

Hi @mterron,
does #47 look like something that addresses your issue?

[mterron]

Sounds like it does, will test and come back to you.

@mterron Any updates on this?
