Git-Vuln-Finder - Finding Potential Software Vulnerabilities From Git Commit Messages

Finding potential software vulnerabilities from git commit messages. The output format is a JSON with the associated commit which could contain a fix regarding a software vulnerability. The search is based on a set of regular expressions against the commit messages only. If CVE IDs are present, those are added automatically in the output.

Requirements

Python 3.6
GitPython
langdetect

Usage

usage: finder.py [-h] [-v] [-r R] [-o O] [-s S] [-p P] [-c] [-t]

Finding potential software vulnerabilities from git commit messages.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -v          increase output verbosity
  -r R        git repository to analyse
  -o O        Output format: [json]
  -s S        State of the commit found
  -p P        Matching pattern to use: [vulnpatterns, cryptopatterns,
              cpatterns] - the pattern 'all' is used to match all the patterns
              at once.
  -c          output only a list of the CVE pattern found in commit messages
              (disable by default)
  -t          Include tags matching a specific commit

Patterns
git-vuln-finder comes with 3 default patterns which can be selected to find the potential vulnerabilities described in the commit messages such as:

vulnpatterns is a generic vulnerability pattern especially targeting web application and generic security commit message. Based on an academic paper.
cryptopatterns is a vulnerability pattern for cryptographic errors mentioned in commit messages.
cpatterns is a set of standard vulnerability patterns see for C/C++-like languages.

Extracting CVE id(s) from git messages

    "message": "Add a macro for testing assertion in both debug and production builds\n\nIf we have an assert then in a debug build we want an abort() to occur.\nIn a production build we wan
t the function to return an error.\n\nThis introduces a new macro to assist with that. The idea is to replace\nexisting use of OPENSSL_assert() with this new macro. The problem with\nOPENSSL
_assert() is that it aborts() on an assertion failure in both debug\nand production builds. It should never be a library's decision to abort a\nprocess (we don't get to decide when to kill t
he life support machine or\nthe nuclear reactor control system). Additionally if an attacker can\ncause a reachable assert to be hit then this can be a source of DoS attacks\ne.g. see CVE-20
