SHIFU is a comprehensive and powerful toolkit designed to streamline the process of finding detailed information about Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). Developed with security professionals, system administrators, and developers in mind, SHIFU offers a wide range of features and capabilities to simplify CVE research and analysis.

1. Automated CVE Retrieval

SHIFU enables users to retrieve detailed information about CVEs directly from the Red Hat CVE database. By automating the retrieval process, SHIFU saves time and effort, allowing users to focus on analyzing and addressing security vulnerabilities.

2. Manual and File Input Options

Users have the flexibility to input CVEs manually or provide a text file containing a list of CVEs. This dual input option caters to different user preferences and workflow requirements, enhancing usability and convenience.

3. Colorized Output for Readability

SHIFU provides colorized output in the terminal, enhancing readability and making it easier for users to interpret and analyze CVE information at a glance. Color-coded text highlights key details and improves overall user experience.

4. Detailed CVE Information

Upon retrieving CVE information, SHIFU presents a detailed overview of each CVE, including severity, public date, advisories, Bugzilla references, CVSS scores, CWE classifications, affected packages, and more. This comprehensive information empowers users to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions to mitigate security risks.

5. Save Results for Future Reference

SHIFU allows users to save the detailed CVE information to a file for future reference and documentation. By providing a structured and organized record of CVE research, SHIFU supports auditing, compliance, and knowledge management efforts within organizations.

To use SHIFU, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Ruby
• bundler (RubyGems package manager)

• Clone the SHIFU repository to your local machine: git clone https://github.com/symbolexe/shifu.git

• Navigate to the SHIFU directory: cd shifu

• Install dependencies using bundler: bundle install

• use as a Python Package More info : https://pypi.org/project/shifucvefinder/

• Example - 1

from shifucvefinder import search_by_cve_id

# Example usage
cve_id = "CVE-2024-3096"
search_by_cve_id(cve_id)

• Example -2

from shifucvefinder import search_by_cve_id

def main():
    cve_ids = [
        "CVE-2024-3096",
        "CVE-2022-1234",
        "CVE-2023-5678"
    ]

    for cve_id in cve_ids:
        print(f"Searching for information about CVE ID: {cve_id}")
        search_by_cve_id(cve_id)
        print("=" * 50)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

1. Manual Input: Choose the option to enter CVE IDs manually. Provide the CVE IDs separated by commas (e.g., CVE-2024-3096,CVE-2022-1234) and follow the prompts.
2. File Input: Choose the option to provide a file containing CVE IDs. Enter the name of the file when prompted, and SHIFU will process the CVEs one by one.
3. Save Results: SHIFU will save the detailed CVE information to a file named result-cves.txt in the current directory.
