NSE script based on Vulners.com API

nmap_vulners

Description

NSE script using some well-known service to provide info on vulnerabilities.

Dependencies:

nmap libraries:
    http
    json
    string
http-vulners-regex

The only thing you should always keep in mind is that the script depends on having software versions at hand, so it only works with -sV flag.

NB: Now it can actually be run without -sV flag if http-vulners-regex script is run as well.

Installation

locate where your nmap scripts are located on your system
    for *nix system it might be  ~/.nmap/scripts/ or $NMAPDIR
    for Mac it might be /usr/local/Cellar/nmap/<version>/share/nmap/scripts/
    for Windows it might be C:\Program Files (x86)\Nmap\scripts
copy the provided script (vulners.nse) into that directory
run *nmap --script-updatedb* to update the nmap script DB 

Usage

Use it as straightforward as you can:
    nmap -sV --script vulners [--script-args mincvss=<arg_val>] <target>

It is KISS after all.

http-vulners-regex

Description

NSE script to scan HTTP responses and identify CPEs for the mentioned software. It can therefore boost the efficiency of the main vulners script.

Or with the paths:

Dependencies

nmap libraries:
    http
    json
    string
    stdnse
    shortport
    table

Installation

locate where nmap is located on your system
    for *nix system it might be  ~/.nmap/ or $NMAPDIR
    for Mac it might be /usr/local/Cellar/nmap/<version>/share/nmap/
    for Windows it might be C:\Program Files (x86)\Nmap\
copy the provided script (http-vulners-regex.nse) into <nmap_dir>/scripts/
copy the provided json with the regexes to <nmap_dir>/nselib/data/
copy the provided txt file with the default paths to <nmap_dir>/nselib/data/
    note that you can specify your own file via command line
run *nmap --script-updatedb* to update the nmap script DB 

Usage

As a usual NSE script:
    nmap --script http-vulners-regex.nse [--script-args paths={"/"}] <target>
