Get CVE information from NIST NVD and RHEL

Leave a comment

Just two littel scripts that come handy if you want to download all the CVE info in JSON format for offline use.

#!/bin/bash
urls=$(curl https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/data-feeds#JSON_FEED | grep 'https://' | grep -i json.gz | sed 's/.*href=//g' | cut -d\'  -f2)

mkdir -p ./nistNvdJson
cd nistNvdJson
for l in $urls;
do
wget $l
done
gunzip *
Donwload NIST NVD CVEs in JSON

 

#!/bin/bash


loopVar=1
dataDir="rhelCveData"
mkdir $dataDir -p
echo "getting data:"
T="$(date +%s)"
while [[ $loopVar -ne 0 ]];
do
        echo -n "-$loopVar- "
        data=$(curl -s https://access.redhat.com/labs/securitydataapi/cve.json?page=$loopVar)
        if [[ "$data" == "[]" ]]; then
                loopVar=0
        else
                toFile=$toFile${data:1:-1}", "
                let loopVar=loopVar+1
        fi
done
T="$(($(date +%s)-T))"
echo "[${toFile::-2}]" >> "$dataDir/rhelCve.json"
sed -i 's/^\[\]$//g' "$dataDir/rhelCve.json"
printf "Got data in: %02dd:%02dh:%02dm:%02ds\n" "$((T/86400))" "$((T/3600%24))" "$((T/60%60))" "$((T%60))"
Get CVE infos for RHEL

 

Additional information:
If you query the NIST NVD Data and search for RHEL CPEs you won’t get a lot of hits as only a smal percentage of the CVEs that affect Red Hat software has the correct CPE attached. However – NIST NVD is nice to have because in the Red Hat CVEs only the total CVSS score is listed but no detailed vulnerability metrics are included.
