Simple Vulnerability Matcher is a cybersecurity tool that scans installed software on a Windows machine, checks for known vulnerabilities using the NVD (National Vulnerability Database) API, and generates detailed reports in CSV, JSON, and PDF formats.
✔ Scans Installed Software – Detects software vulnerabilities from the NVD database.
✔ Generates Reports – Creates reports in CSV, JSON, and PDF formats.
✔ Schedule Scans – Allows users to set up daily automated scans with email report delivery.
✔ SQL Injection Protection – Secure input handling to prevent SQL injection attacks.
✔ User-Friendly UI – Web-based interface for running scans and downloading reports.
git clone https://github.com/Cyber-Security-Tech/simple-vuln-matcher.git
cd simple-vuln-matcherEnsure you have Python 3.8+ installed, then run:
pip install -r requirements.txtYou need an NVD API key. Open nvd_api.py and replace:
API_KEY = "your-api-key-here"with your actual NVD API key.
python app.pyThen, open http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in your browser.
Once a scan completes, reports will be available for download:
📄 CSV Report – /download/csv
📜 JSON Report – /download/json
📑 PDF Report – /download/pdf
📧 If you schedule a scan, reports will be emailed to you.
This project was built to demonstrate hands-on cybersecurity skills, including:
✅ API integration with the NVD vulnerability database
✅ Secure input handling to prevent SQL injection
✅ Flask-based web UI for ease of use
✅ Automated scanning & report generation
It showcases my ability to write secure Python code, work with APIs, and implement cybersecurity best practices.
