CVE PoC Generator
Research a CVE by ID, generate a standalone Python proof-of-concept script, and produce a detailed vulnerability report.
Workflow
NVD Lookup - Query NVD API v2.0 for the CVE ID (python3 tools/nvd-lookup.py <CVE>). Extract the CVSS score/vector using the v4.0-primary ladder (v4.0 → v3.1 → v3.0 → v2.0; the tool's JSON_SUMMARY exposes cvss_version + cvss_vector), plus CWE IDs, CPE matches, advisory URLs, and patch links.
Advisory Research - Deep-dive vendor advisories, GitHub security advisories, Exploit-DB, and published write-ups. Identify root cause, affected versions, and attack vector details.
PoC Generation - Write a standalone Python script (poc.py) that demonstrates the vulnerability safely. Follow the script standards in reference/poc-methodology.md.
Report Generation - Write a comprehensive markdown report (report.md) with metadata, root cause analysis, risk assessment, and remediation guidance.
