Here’s a streamlined approach to identifying exploitable CVEs for Nuclei template creation using CVEmap, ensuring high-impact vulnerabilities are prioritized:
Key Criteria for Template Creation
- Public PoC Available (
-poc): Ensures documented exploitation methods. - CISA-KEV Listed (
-kor-kev): Highlights actively exploited vulnerabilities.
3. Remotely Exploitable (`-re`): Targets network-based flaws.
- No Existing Nuclei Template (
-t=false): Focuses on gaps in coverage.
You Should Know: Practical CVEmap Commands
1. Basic CVE Filtering
cvemap -k -poc -re -t=false -json | jq '.id'
– Explanation: Filters CVEs with PoCs, remote exploitation, and no templates, outputting CVE IDs in JSON.
2. Export to File for Analysis
cvemap -kev -re -poc -o high_risk_cves.txt
– Use Case: Saves results for manual review or automation.
3. Integrate with Nuclei for Template Generation
cvemap -k -re | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I {} nuclei -template-generate -id {}
– Workflow: Extracts CVE IDs and auto-generates Nuclei templates.
4. Monitor for New Exploitable CVEs
watch -n 3600 "cvemap -k -re -poc -t=false -l new_cves.log"
– Purpose: Hourly scans for new high-risk CVEs.
What Undercode Say
- Prioritize CISA-KEV: Focus on vulnerabilities actively weaponized in attacks.
- Automate Template Creation: Use
jq/awkto parse CVEmap output into Nuclei-compatible formats. - Validation: Test templates with
nuclei -validate -t /path/to/template.yaml. - Linux/Win Commands for Debugging:
- Linux: `grep -r “CVE-2023” /var/log/` (search logs for CVEs).
- Windows: `Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{LogName=’Security’; ID=4688}` (audit process execution).
- Enhancements: Pair with `exploitdb` for PoC references (
searchsploit <CVE-ID>).
Expected Output:
- A curated list of CVEs (
high_risk_cves.txt). - Validated Nuclei templates for immediate use.
- Automated monitoring scripts for real-time CVE tracking.
