Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
Important Note: The API search endpoint has been removed from the public instance due to massive abusive behavior. You can use this API against a local version of CVE Search.
PyCVESearch is an easy to use wrapper around cve-search. Some of the calls will work against https://cve.circl.lu but for most of them, you need your own CVE Search instance. For the ones available on the public instance, see https://github.com/cve-search/PyCVESearch/blob/main/tests/tests.py.
This library is based on the work of Martin Simon and Kai Renken.
