Automated CVE Vulnerability Tracking with NVD API and Google Sheets

Overview

This workflow automates the tracking of CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) details and their change history by integrating the NVD (National Vulnerability Database) API with Google Sheets. It ensures up-to-date vulnerability information is captured and organized for security teams.

Key Features

• Webhook Triggers: Initiates data collection when new CVE details or history are requested.
• NVD API Integration: Fetches the latest CVE data and historical changes directly from the NVD API.
• Data Parsing: Processes and flattens complex JSON responses for easy analysis.
• Google Sheets Logging: Automatically records CVE metadata and history into structured spreadsheets.

Benefits

• Real-Time Updates: Ensures your vulnerability records are always current.
• Centralized Data: Maintains a single source of truth for CVE tracking in Google Sheets.
• Reduced Manual Work: Eliminates repetitive data entry and manual API queries.
• Improved Security Posture: Enables faster response to emerging threats by keeping teams informed.

Use Cases

• Security teams monitoring vulnerability trends.
• IT departments maintaining compliance logs.
• Organizations needing automated vulnerability intelligence for risk management.
