# CVE-Client: CLI-based client / toolbox for CVE.org Because why would you ever rely on someone else's clobbered together JavaScript code to get important security information. ## Dependencies - Perl 5 - Getopt::Std (should be included in your perl) - JSON::MaybeXS (should be included in your perl) - LWP::UserAgent (should be included in your perl) - LWP::Protocol::https ## Example ``` % cve-client CVE-2021-35197 CVE ID: CVE-2021-35197 Description Language: eng Description: In MediaWiki before 1.31.15, 1.32.x through 1.35.x before 1.35.3, and 1.36.x before 1.36.1, bots have certain unintended API access. When a bot account has a "sitewide block" applied, it is able to still "purge" pages through the MediaWiki Action API (which a "sitewide block" should have prevented).
