This is tool to build a local copy of the NVD (National Vulnerabilities Database) [1] and the Japanese JVN [2], which contain security vulnerabilities according to their CVE identifiers [3] including exhaustive information and a risk score. The local copy is generated in sqlite format, and the tool has a server mode for easy querying.

go-cve-dictionary requires the following packages.
- SQLite3, MySQL, PostgreSQL or Redis
- git
- gcc
- go v1.7.1 or later
Here's an example for Amazon EC2 server.
$ ssh ec2-user@52.100.100.100 -i ~/.ssh/private.pem
$ sudo yum -y install sqlite git gcc
$ wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.7.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.7.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ mkdir $HOME/go
Put these lines into /etc/profile.d/goenv.sh
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin
Set the OS environment variable to current shell
$ source /etc/profile.d/goenv.sh
To install:
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/vulsio
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/vulsio
$ git clone https://github.com/vulsio/go-cve-dictionary.git
$ cd go-cve-dictionary
$ make install
Create a log output directory. You can use another directory on the command line option (--log-dir).
$ sudo mkdir /var/log/go-cve-dictionary
$ sudo chown ec2-user /var/log/go-cve-dictionary
$ sudo chmod 700 /var/log/go-cve-dictionary
Fetch vulnerability data from NVD.
$ go-cve-dictionary fetch nvd
... snip ...
$ ls -alh cve.sqlite3
-rw-r--r-- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 7.0M Mar 24 13:20 cve.sqlite3
Now we have vulnerability data. Start go-cve-dictionary as server mode.
