CPE Product Database Search

Common Platform Enumeration search tool: https://kakwa.github.io/cpe-search/

This project is a basic web interface to search and browse the CPE (Common Platform Enumeration) database and easily find CPE filters.

The raw CSV/JSON files (gziped) are available here:

• cpe-product-db.csv.gz
• cpe-product-db.json.gz

The CPE Database is updated daily.

Self-Hosting

Dependencies

If you want to self-host the DB:

Install dependencies:

sudo apt install libwww-perl libtext-csv-encoded-perl

CPE DB generation

Build the csv & json DBs:

./cpe-processing-script-rest.pl

# Result directory
ls html/ 
cpe-product-db.csv.gz  cpe-product-db.json.gz  favicon.ico  index.html

Testing

Once the DB is generated, run:

# Using Python's built-in server
python3 -m http.server -d html/ 8080

# website available at http://127.0.0.1:8080

Production

Optionally, get a NVD API_KEY, go to https://nvd.nist.gov/developers/request-an-api-key to get one.

Copy over the content of html/ into <your_static_webroot>.

Initialize CPE DBs:

# API_KEY is optional
API_KEY='<nvd api key>' \
OUTPUT_DIR='<your_static_webroot>' \
./cpe-processing-script-rest.pl

Publish <your_static_webroot> using static hosting (nginx, apache or any other server).

Add the following cron to update it daily, tweak the minutes/hours:

12 3 * * * API_KEY='<nvd api key>' OUTPUT_DIR='<your_static_webroot>' /path/to/cpe-processing-script-rest.pl
