NIST Data Mirror

A simple Java command-line utility to mirror the NVD (CPE/CVE XML and JSON) data from NIST.

The intended purpose of nist-data-mirror is to be able to replicate the NIST vulnerabiity data inside a company firewall so that local (faster) access to NIST data can be achieved.

nist-data-mirror does not rely on any third-party dependencies, only the Java SE core libraries. It can be used in combination with OWASP Dependency-Check in order to provide Dependency-Check a mirrored copy of NIST data.

For best results, use nist-data-mirror with cron or another scheduler to keep the mirrored data fresh.

Usage

Building

mvn clean package

Running

java -jar nist-data-mirror.jar <mirror-directory> [xml|json]

Omitting filetype argument will result in both filetypes being downloaded.

Downloading

If you do not wish to download sources and compile yourself, pre-compiled binaries are available for use. NIST Data Mirror is also available on the Maven Central Repository.
