Workflow

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 it as a library

git-vuln-finder can be install with poetry. If you don't have poetry installed, you can do the following curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python.

$ poetry install git-vuln-finder
$ poetry shell

You can also use pip. Then just import it:

Python 3.8.0 (default, Dec 11 2019, 21:43:13)
[GCC 9.2.1 20191008] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from git_vuln_finder import find
>>> all_potential_vulnerabilities, all_cve_found, found = find("~/git/curl")

>>> [commit for commit, summary in all_potential_vulnerabilities.items() if summary['state'] == 'cve-assigned']

Use it as a command line tool

$ pipx install git-vuln-finder
$ git-vuln-finder --help

You can also use pip. pipx installs scripts (system wide available) provided by Python packages into separate virtualenvs to shield them from your system and each other.

Usage

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 is a generic vulnerability pattern especially targeting web application and generic security commit message. Based on an academic paper.
  • cryptopatterns is a vulnerability pattern for cryptographic errors mentioned in commit messages.
  • cpatterns is a set of standard vulnerability patterns see for C/C++-like languages.
