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. ### 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 to allow for a delay argument to be passed. Otherwise it is 6 seconds between requests by default.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
