# freewvs

A local web vulnerability scanner.

freewvs is a tool to search webroots for known vulnerable versions of web applications.

## install

You can install [freewvs via pip](https://pypi.org/project/freewvs/):

```
pip install freewvs
```

Alternatively, you can run freewvs directly from the git source.

If you install via pip, you need to update the freewvs database first:

```
update-freewvsdb
```

## usage

Just run freewvs with a path, e.g.:

```
freewvs /var/www
```

The output will be something like this:

```
Joomla 3.9.11 (3.9.14) CVE-2019-19846 /var/www/example.org
nextcloud 14.0.1 (14.0.5) CVE-2019-5449 /var/www/cloud.example.org
MediaWiki 1.31.1 (1.31.6) CVE-2019-19709 /var/www/wiki.example.org
```

## faq

#### What does freewvs do?

It scans your webroot for known vulnerable versions of popular web applications.

#### What does the output tell me?

The output looks like this:

```
Joomla-3 3.9.11 (3.9.13) CVE-2019-18674 /home/joe/websites/joessite/
```

This says that in /home/joe/websites/joessite/, there's a Joomla installation of version
3.9.11. This version is vulnerable to CVE-2019-18674, and you should update it to
version 3.9.13.

#### CVE-2019-XXXX seems to be very minor, at least it doesn't affect me. Am I safe?

No, as freewvs only checks for the latest vulnerabilities. There may be other
vulnerabilities in your version not listed by freewvs. The only way to be sure is to
check the upstream changelog.

#### There is no version inside the brackets. What does that mean?

It means your web application has not released a security update. Often, this means the
software is no longer developed.
