National Vulnerability Database CPE/CVE API Library

NVDLib

Simple NIST NVD API wrapper library

NVDlib allows you to interface with the NIST National Vulnerability Database and pull vulnerabilities (CVEs) and Common Platform Enumeration (CPEs) into easily accessible objects.

Features

• Search the NVD for CVEs using all parameters allowed by the NVD 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.

Install

$ pip install nvdlib

Demo

>>> import nvdlib

# Perform the search with the known cpeName
>>> cves = nvdlib.searchCVE(cpeName='cpe:2.3:a:apache:tomcat:7.0.67:*:*:*:*:*:*:*', limit = 5)

# Pull CVE ID, score, and CVSS version of the score from the object.
>>> for eachCVE in cves:
>>>     print(eachCVE.id + ' - ' + eachCVE.score[0] + ' - ' + eachCVE.score[1])

CVE-2021-30640 - 6.5 - V3
CVE-2019-12418 - 7.0 - V3
CVE-2020-1938 - 9.8 - V3

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