National Vulnerability Database CPE/CVE API Library for Python

Project description

Simple NIST NVD API wrapper library

NVDlib is a Python library that allows you to interface with the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD), pull vulnerabilities (CVEs), and Common Platform Enumeration (CPEs) into easily accessible objects.

License Written Documentation Status


Features

  • Search the NVD for CVEs using all parameters allowed by the NVD API (recently updated to utilize version 2 of the API). Including search criteria such as CVE publish and modification date, keywords, severity, score, or CPE name.
  • Search CPE names by keywords, CPE match strings, or modification dates. Then pull the CVE ID's that are relevant to those CPEs.
  • Retrieve details on individual CVEs, their relevant CPE names, and more.
  • Built in rate limiting according to NIST NVD recommendations.
    Get an API key (https://nvd.nist.gov/developers/request-an-api-key) to allow for a delay argument to be passed. Otherwise it is 6 seconds between requests by default.

Install

$ pip install nvdlib

Demo

>>> import nvdlib
>>> r = nvdlib.searchCVE(cveId='CVE-2021-26855')[0]
>>> print(r.v31severity + ' - ' + str(r.v31score))
CRITICAL - 9.8
>>> print(r.descriptions[0].value)

More information

This is my first attempt at creating a library while utilizing all my Python experience from classes to functions.

This product uses data from the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.
