cve-search/git-vuln-finderFinding potential software vulnerabilities from git commit messages
Finding potential software vulnerabilities from git commit messages. The output format is a JSON with the associated commit which could contain a fix regarding a software vulnerability. The search is based on a set of regular expressions against the commit messages only. If CVE IDs are present, those are added automatically in the output. The input can be any git repositories or a GH archive source.
sudo apt install jq)git-vuln-finder can be install with poetry. If you don't have poetry installed, you can do the following curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python.
$ poetry install
$ poetry shell
$ git-vuln-finder -h
You can also use pip. Then just import it:

You can also use pip.
pipx installs scripts (system wide available) provided by Python packages
into separate virtualenvs to shield them from your system and each other.
usage: git-vuln-finder [-h] [-v] [-r R] [-o O] [-s S] [-p P] [-c] [-t] [-gh GH]
Finding potential software vulnerabilities from git commit messages.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v increase output verbosity
-r R git repository to analyse
-o O Output format: [json]
-s S State of the commit found
-p P Matching pattern to use: [vulnpatterns, cryptopatterns, cpatterns] - the pattern 'all' is used to match all the patterns at once.
-c output only a list of the CVE pattern found in commit messages (disable by default)
-t Include tags matching a specific commit
-gh GH special option for gharchive, pass a file containing a PushEvent in JSON format

git-vuln-finder comes with 3 default patterns which can be selected to find the potential vulnerabilities described in the commit messages such as:
vulnpatterns is a generic vulnerability pattern especially targeting web application and generic security commit message. Based on an academic paper.cryptopatterns is a vulnerability pattern for cryptographic errors mentioned in commit messages.cpatterns is a set of standard vulnerability patterns see for C/C++-like languages.$ git-vuln-finder -r ~/git/curl | jq .
