**flawz** is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) for browsing the security vulnerabilities (also known as [CVEs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Vulnerabilities_and_Exposures)).

As default it uses the vulnerability database ([NVD](https://nvd.nist.gov)) from [NIST](https://www.nist.gov) and provides search and listing functionalities in the terminal with different theming options.

For example, to view details on the notorious [xz vulnerability](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-3094):

```sh
flawz --feeds 2024 --query xz
```

-f, --feeds [...] List of feeds that are going to be synced [env: FEEDS=] [default: 2002:2024 recent
modified]

-u, --force-update Always fetch feeds
-o, --offline Do not fetch feeds
-q, --query Start with a search query [env: QUERY=]
-t, --theme Set the theme [default: dracula] [possible values: dracula, nord, one-dark, solarized-dark, gruvbox-light, gruvbox-material-dark-hard]
-h, --help Print help (see more with '--help')
-V, --version Print version
```

## Key bindings

| Key | Action | Description |
| ------------ | ----------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `k` / `Up` | Scroll Up | Scroll up the list |
| `j` / `Down` | Scroll Down | Scroll down the list |
| `Enter` | Select | View the selected CVE details |
| `/` | Search | Search for a CVE |
| `Space` | Open | Open the first CVE reference in the browser |
| `q` | Quit | Set computer on fire |

## Examples

To start with a specific search query:

```sh
flawz --query "buffer overflow"
```

You can use the `--feeds` option to sync specific years of feeds:

```sh
flawz --feeds 2010:2015 recent
```

Additionally, you can use the following flags:

- `--force-update`: Always fetch feeds, even if they are already up to date.
- `--offline`: Run without fetching feeds (useful if you have already synced the data):

For example, you can use the following command to search for a specific vulnerability from 2014:

```sh
flawz -q "CVE-2014-0160" -f 2014 --force-update
```

## Themes

Start `flawz` with `--theme` option to set a custom theme, e.g. `--theme nord`.
