NIST::NVD CWE development – follow along


I’m in the process of getting the tests passing for the 0.03 release of NIST::NVD::Store::SQLite3 wherein our hero imports the CWE data and cross-indexes it with CVEs and CPEs.

Follow along and suggest some patches. I’m developing on Debian Wheezy, but I would very much like input from devs on other platforms.

Publish your patches and I’ll fetch them, or you can submit them in udiff format and I’ll review/apply. Thanks for playing along!

Seems I need to update the NIST::NVD package as well.

Alright. before going to bed, I made those “w” characters above mean something. Same with some of the “v” characters above.

Now processing the Categories from the CWE files. At this point we have parsed the Description elements. Next up are:

Alright, I’ve got enough of the CWE processing done that I feel comfortable releasing this stuff. Let’s make sure that the data got all the way down into the database. I’ll write some tests in t/cwe.t to exercise the CRUD

[edit 20120217T1345 -0800]

Tests are in place and failing (this is good, by the way). Now to turn the tests green.

CWE load is passing. It takes 13 seconds to process all CWEs in cwec_v2.1.xml and some recent CVEs from the 13th of December of 2011. It seems I’ve broken t/query.t, though. When it’s green I’ll push a new release. Everything is in master. Check it out if you like pain.

Okay, it’s published. I’ll need to factor the changes in to the DB_File storage engine as well.

[edit 20120225T20:27 -0800]
Just published an update. It probably works better.

Next up is creating another index from cpe urn to cwe data
