vFeed Correlated Vulnerability Database API major update 0.6 released

vFeed Framework is a CVE, CWE and OVAL Compatible naming scheme concept that provides extra structured detailed third-party references and technical characteristics for a CVE entry through an extensible XML/JSON schema.

It also improves the reliability of CVEs by providing a flexible and comprehensive vocabulary for describing the relationship with other standards and security references.

The associated vFeed.db (The Correlated Vulnerability and Threat Database) is a detective and preventive security information repository used for gathering vulnerability and mitigation data from scattered internet sources into an unified database.

Changelog 0.6.0

Reviewed and re-wrote the code to be as much as possible PEP8 compliant
Update the vFeed License. It is very important to read it.
Introduced a new simple vFeed menu with the following options:
- –method: Digs into the database and enumerate information related to CVE. See (–list)
- –list: Lists the available –method functions. You can refer to the wiki documentation for more information
- –export : Exports metadata to either JSON or XML formats
- –stats : Displays the vFeed.db statistics
- –search: Simple vFeed search utility. It supports CVE, CPE, CWE, OVAL and free text
- –update: To update the vFeed.db Correlated Vulnerability Database.
- –banner: Displays vFeed banners. Dont ask me. It is useless 🙂
Refactored the main vFeed class api.py into small dedicated classes:
- info.py: Used to render information about CVE alongside other open standards (CWE, CPE, CAPEC).
- ref.py: Can be leveraged to get information about references and cross-linked sources (IAVM, SCIP..)
- risk.py: Used to display the CVSS v2 and severity.
- patches.py: Mostly used to enumerate hotfixes from 3rd party vendors such as Microsoft, Redhat, Suse etc
- scanners.py : Leveraged to list information about scanners scripts related to CVEs such as Nessus, OpenVAS ..
- exploit.py : Used to list information about exploits PoC related to CVEs such as Metasploit, Exploit-DB ..
- rules.py : Can be leveraged to display the IDS/IPS rules to prevent from the attack such as Snort or Suricata
- json_dump.py : This class will generate a detailed CVE JSON output.
vFeed now returns JSON responses. It will be much easier to integrate with 3rd party utilities and software.
Added the support of CWE, OVAL and free text to search.py class.
Added URL links to the references (CVE, CWE, CAPEC, 3rd party references ..)
Changed name of get_risk method to get_severity
Exported JSON/XML files are moved to export repository.
Added api_calls.py API calls sample to demonstrate how easy to use vFeed from within your code.
Deprecated the value of “PCI Compliance” from risk.py class. This will be supported later.
Deprecated the method get_milw0rm as the source does not longer exist
Todo : The XML export will be added later.
