CVEmap is a powerful tool for identifying CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) that meet specific criteria, such as having public proofs of concept (POCs), being marked as exploitable by CISA, and lacking Nuclei templates. This makes it invaluable for cybersecurity professionals conducting vulnerability assessments and penetration testing.
Key Flags in CVEmap
– `-k` or -kev: Filters CVEs marked as exploitable by CISA (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities).
– `-t=false` or -template=false: Excludes CVEs with existing Nuclei templates.
– -poc: Only shows CVEs with publicly available POCs.
– `-re` or -remote: Focuses on remotely exploitable vulnerabilities.
You Should Know: Practical Commands and Usage
1. Installing CVEmap
go install github.com/assetnote/cvemap@latest
2. Basic Scan for Exploitable CVEs
cvemap -k -poc -re -t=false
This command retrieves remotely exploitable CVEs with POCs, flagged by CISA, and without Nuclei templates.
3. Exporting Results to a File
cvemap -k -poc -re -t=false -o exploitable_cves.txt
4. Cross-Referencing with Exploit Databases
Use `searchsploit` to check for available exploits:
searchsploit --id CVE-2023-1234
5. Automating Vulnerability Checks
Combine CVEmap with `nuclei` to verify missing templates:
cvemap -t=false | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I {} nuclei -id {} -verify
6. Monitoring New CVEs
Set up a cron job to run CVEmap daily:
0 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/cvemap -k -poc -re -t=false -o /var/log/cve_daily.log
What Undercode Say
CVEmap streamlines vulnerability research by filtering high-impact CVEs with actionable POCs. Security teams should integrate it into their threat intelligence workflows alongside tools like exploitdb, Metasploit, and nuclei. Regularly updating exploit databases and automating scans ensures proactive defense against emerging threats.
Expected Output:
CVE-2023-1234 | Remote Code Execution | POC Available | No Nuclei Template CVE-2023-5678 | Privilege Escalation | POC Available | No Nuclei Template
