nmap_vulners

Description

NSE script uses info about known services to provide data on vulnerabilities. Note that it is already included into the standard nmap NSE library.

Dependencies:

nmap libraries:
    http
    json
    string
http-vulners-regex

Keep in mind that the script depends on having information about software versions, 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 scans HTTP responses and identifies 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> 

vulners_enterprise

Description

This is basically the good old faithfull nmap-vulners from above with an important exception: it requires an API_KEY to work.

Moreover it specifically uses CVSS v3 score rather than v2 in its output.

You can either specify it on the CLI using the 'api_key' script argument, set it into an envirotnment variable VULNERS_API_KEY, or store it in a file readable by the user running nmap. In this case you must specify the absolute path to the file using the 'api_key_file' script argument.

Usage

As a usual NSE script:
    nmap -sV --script vulners_enterprise [--script-args mincvss=<arg_val>,api_key=<api_key>,api_key_file=<absolute_path>,api_host=http://my_host.com] <target>
    

NSE Arguments

vulners_enterprise.mincvss Limit CVEs shown to those with this CVSS score or greater.

vulners_enterprise.api_key API token to be used in the requests

vulners_enterprise.api_key_file Absolute path to the file with a single line containing the API token

vulners_enterprise.api_host URL to vulners API without the leading slash. Defaults to https://vulners.com
