un4gi / fave

Search for vulnerabilities and exposures while filtering based on age, keywords, and other parameters.

FAV/E

FAV/E (Find A Vulnerability/Exposure) utilizes the NIST CVE database search API to search for vulnerabilities and exposures while filtering based on age, keywords, and other parameters.

Usage

FAV/E currently features two commands: search and describe.

The search command allows you to search the CVE database while filtering on a number of different things, such as:

• keyword/words
• age (maximum of 120 days)
• CWE ID
• CVSS Severity

Use the -h flag to display available flags

fave search -h

Flag	Description	Example
-c, --cwe int	Search for CVEs based on a CWE number.	fave -c 79
-d, --days int	the number of days prior to today to filter (maximum of 120 days).	fave --days 5
--exact	Return only items matching the exact keyword(s) specified with -k	fave -k un4gi --exact
-h, --help	help for search	fave -h
-k, --key string	a word or phrase to search - this is required.	fave -k "Microsoft Windows 10"
-s, --severity string	filters based on the CVSS V3 severity rating (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW).	fave -s CRITICAL

Example usage:

fave search -k "Windows 10" --exact -s CRITICAL --days 2

Once an interesting CVE is found, you can pass the CVE-ID to the describe command to gather a more detailed description with references:

fave describe CVE-XXXX-XXXXX
