Jekyll CVE badge
Generates a shields-like badge for a specified CVE. Automatically fetches the CVSS score from NVD and generates the badge accordingly.
It uses CVSSv3 by default. If the CVE is old and a CVSSv3 is not available, CVSSv2 will be used. The badge itself links to the corresponding page on NVD.
Installation and usage
Add the following to your Gemfile's jekyll_plugins
group:
gem "jekyll-cve-badge"
Run bundler install
. This will install the plugin from the RubyGems repository.
You can then use the tag cve_badge
anywhere. For example:
{% cve_badge "CVE-2021-31698" %}
Notes
- NVD's API is slow, so posts will take quite a lot longer to generate. Not much I can do here
- Add a
cve-badge.html
in your _layouts
directory for custom styling. The layout is passed the params cve_id
, cve_severity
, and cve_score
TODO
- Add flag to just add the badge with no CVSS rating
