ares is an APACHE licensed library written in Python providing an easy to use wrapper around https://cve.circl.lu. This library has been tested with Python 2.7.x and Python 3.6+.
From source use
$ python setup.py installor install from PyPi
$ pip install aresReturns a list of vendors or products of a specific vendor. This API call can be used in two ways; With or without the vendor.

| Argument | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| vendor | Vendor name | microsoft |
>>> from ares import CVESearch
>>> cve = CVESearch()
>>> cve.browse('microsoft')Outputs a list of CAPEC related to a CWE. CAPEC (Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification) are a list of attack types commonly used by attackers.
| Argument | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| cweid | CWE ID | 200 |
>>> cve.capec('200')DISABLED ON cve.circl.lu
Converts a CPE code to the CPE2.2 standard, stripped of appendices. CPE2.2 is the old standard, and is a lot less uniform than the CPE2.3 standard.
| Argument | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| cpe | CPE code in cpe2.2 or cpe2.3 format | cpe:2.3:o:microsoft:windows_vista:6.0:sp1:-:-:home_premium:-:-:x64:- |
>>> cve.cpe22('cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:office:2011:-:mac')DISABLED ON cve.circl.lu
Converts a CPE code to the CPE2.3 standard, stripped of appendices. CPE2.3 is the newer standard, and is a lot more uniform and easier to read than the CPE2.2 standard.
| Argument | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| cpe | CPE code in cpe2.2 or cpe2.3 format | cpe:/o:microsoft:windows_vista:6.0:sp1:~-~home_premium~-~x64~- |
>>> cve.cpe23('cpe:/a:microsoft:office:2011::mac')Outputs all available information for the specified CVE (Common Vulnerability and Exposure), in JSON format. This information includes basic CVE information like CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System), related CPE (Common Product Enumeration), CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration), ... as well as additional information (RedHat Advisories etc).
| Argument | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| cveid | CVE number | CVE-2014-0160 |
>>> cve.id('CVE-2014-0160')DISABLED ON cve.circl.lu
Outputs a list of CVEs related to the product.
| Argument | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| cpe | CPE code in cpe2.2 or cpe2.3 format | cpe:/o:microsoft:windows_vista:6.0:sp1:~-~home_premium~-~x64~- |
>>> cve.cvefor('cpe:/o:microsoft:windows_vista:6.0:sp1:~-~home_premium~-~x64~-')Outputs a list of all CWEs (Common Weakness Enumeration).
>>> cve.cwe()Returns the stats of the database. When the user authenticates, more information is returned. This information includes:
Amount of whitelist and blacklist records
Some server settings like the database name
Some database information like disk usage
Unauthenticated queries return only collection information.
Note: as of April 2020, authentication is disabled on cve.circl.lu.
>>> cve.dbinfo()Outputs the last n amount of vulnerabilities. If the limit is not specified, the default of 30 is used.
| Argument | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| limit | The amount of CVEs to display | 10 |
>>> cve.last('10')DISABLED ON cve.circl.lu
Returns all CVEs that are linked by a given key/value pair.
| Argument | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| key | The key to link CVEs on | refmap.ms |
| value | The value for the given key | MS16-098 |
>>> cve.link('refmap.ms/MS16-098')DISABLED ON cve.circl.lu
When vendor and product are specified, this API call returns a list of CVEs related to the product. The output of the browse call can be used for this.
| Argument | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| vendor | Vendor name | microsoft |
| product | Product name | office |
