Finding potential software vulnerabilities from git commit messages.
The output format is a JSON with the associated commit which could contain a
fix regarding a software vulnerability. The search is based on a set of regular
expressions against the commit messages only. If CVE IDs are present, those are
added automatically in the output.
# Requirements
- jq (sudo apt install jq)
# Installation
## Use in your Python software
~~~bash
$ poetry install git-vuln-finder
$ poetry shell
~~~
## Use as a command line tool
~~~bash
$ pipx install git-vuln-finder
$ git-vuln-finder --help
~~~
# Usage
~~~bash
usage: git-vuln-finder [-h] [-v] [-r R] [-o O] [-s S] [-p P] [-c] [-t]
Finding potential software vulnerabilities from git commit messages.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v increase output verbosity
-r R git repository to analyse
-o O Output format: [json]
-s S State of the commit found
-p P Matching pattern to use: [vulnpatterns, cryptopatterns,
cpatterns] - the pattern 'all' is used to match all the patterns
at once.
-c output only a list of the CVE pattern found in commit messages
(disable by default)
-t Include tags matching a specific commit

# Patterns
git-vuln-finder comes with 3 default patterns which can be selected to find the potential vulnerabilities described in the commit messages such as:
- [`vulnpatterns`](https://github.com/cve-search/git-vuln-finder/blob/master/patterns/en/medium/vuln) is a generic vulnerability pattern especially targeting web application and generic security commit message. Based on an academic paper.
- [`cryptopatterns`](https://github.com/cve-search/git-vuln-finder/blob/master/patterns/en/medium/crypto) is a vulnerability pattern for cryptographic errors mentioned in commit messages.
- [`cpatterns`](https://github.com/cve-search/git-vuln-finder/blob/master/patterns/en/medium/c) is a set of standard vulnerability patterns see for C/C++-like languages.
## A sample partial output from Curl git repository
~~~bash
$ git-vuln-finder -r ~/git/curl | jq .

"message": "Add a macro for testing assertion in both debug and production builds\n\nIf we have an assert then in a debug build we want an abort() to occur.\nIn a production build we wan
t the function to return an error.\n\nThis introduces a new macro to assist with that. The idea is to replace\nexisting use of OPENSSL_assert() with this new macro. The problem with\nOPENSSL
_assert() is that it aborts() on an assertion failure in both debug\nand production builds. It should never be a library's decision to abort a\nprocess (we don't get to decide when to kill t
he life support machine or\nthe nuclear reactor control system). Additionally if an attacker can\ncause a reachable assert to be hit then this can be a source of DoS attacks\ne.g. see CVE-20
17-3733, CVE-2015-0293, CVE-2011-4577 and CVE-2002-1568.\n\nReviewed-by: Tim Hudson <tjh@openssl.org>\n(Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/3496)",
