Vulnerability-Lookup 6.0.0 released — webhook notifications, local exploit hazard API, and a vulnerability credits index
2 months ago by Cedric to c/security
Vulnerability-Lookup (https://github.com/...) is an open-source platform (AGPL) for fast vulnerability lookup and correlation across many sources — CVE, EUVD, GHSA, OSV, CSAF/VEX, national CERTs — with collaborative annotation, sightings and coordinated disclosure. 6.0.0 is out today; two big additions this round.
Webhook notifications
Product notifications are no longer e-mail only. A subscription can push its reports to any HTTPS endpoint — a chat channel, a SIEM, a ticketing system — instead of, or in addition to, e-mail. HTTP method, custom headers and a payload template are all configurable, so the same mechanism feeds a generic JSON collector or the specific shape Mattermost/Teams/DingTalk/Telegram expect.
Targets are held to a strict outbound policy, enforced when the form is saved and again at delivery time: HTTPS on a standard port, no redirects, delivery pinned to the validated IP, private/loopback/link-local refused (IPv6 transition addresses judged by their embedded IPv4 destination), URL-shortener and dynamic-DNS domains rejected via the MISP warning lists, and URL paths redacted from failure logs.
Local exploit hazard
An implementation of the model from arXiv:2607.24618 (https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.24618), which turns an EPSS forecast into an exploitation risk estimate that accounts for your environment — compensating controls (globally or per attack vector), KEV policy weighting, and exponential or KEV-calibrated Weibull age decay.
The same model drives the notifications: reports are ordered by individual hazard and annotated with EPSS score, age and horizon probability. Each subscription can localize the estimates with its own parameters, and a daily standing exposure evaluation alerts on upward threshold crossings, listing the vulnerabilities whose remediation would lower the exposure most.
