Description
Adds
-explain
flag to cvemap. This flag will display general information on the CVEs returned from a search. It is most helpful when querying a small amount of CVEs, JSON is recommended for larger outputs. Flag can be combined with-silent
to omit banner if needed.Reason for Addition
While it is possible to retrieve all available CVE data in the form of JSON, it's convenient to be able to view general data (description, cwe info, POC and reference links, patches, etc.) in an easy-to-read fashion and without having to parse data outside the tool. This feature merely adds an additional option for viewing data pertaining to the CVEs returned from a search.
