# FediVuln

A client to gather vulnerability-related information from the Fediverse.

## Usage

### Installation

[pipx](https://github.com/pypa/pipx) is an easy way to install and run Python applications in isolated environments.
It's easy to [install](https://github.com/pypa/pipx?tab=readme-ov-file#on-linux).

```bash
$ pipx install FediVuln
$ export FEDIVULN_CONFIG=~/.FediVuln/conf.py
```

The configuration for FediVuln should be defined in a Python file (e.g., ``~/.FediVuln/conf.py``).
You must then set an environment variable (``FEDIVULN_CONFIG``) with the full path to this file.

You can have a look at [this example](https://github.com/CIRCL/FediVuln/blob/main/fedivuln/conf_sample.py) of configuration.

### Register your application

```bash
$ FediVuln-Register
```

This script uses OAuth in order to retrieve the access token. This is achieved in several steps.

- Register the application with Mastodon instance, a including all necessary scopes
- Instantiate Mastodon client with client credentials
- Log in - Generate authorization URL with the exact same scopes
- Once the user authorizes, prompt for the authorization code
- Use the authorization code to retrieve the access token, with the same scopes

You only have to execute it once.

### Streaming

```bash
$ FediVuln-Stream --user --sighting
```

Using the ``--sighting`` argument, detected vulnerability IDs will be recorded in
[Vulnerability Lookup](https://github.com/cve-search/vulnerability-lookup) as
[sightings](https://vulnerability-lookup.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sightings.html).

### Publishing

WIP.

```bash
$ python publish.py
```
