Why Choose This Project

File uploads are one of the most common attack vectors for web applications. Malicious files can exploit known vulnerabilities (CVEs) to compromise systems. This project provides a secure platform where uploaded files are automatically scanned, tagged with associated CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures), and analyzed for potential exploitation. It is ideal for security teams, penetration testers, and developers aiming to test or secure their applications against known threats.

What You Get

A web-based platform that allows users to upload files in a controlled environment. Each file is analyzed for vulnerabilities, associated CVEs are identified, and detailed reports are generated. Administrators can track potential risks, view CVE severity levels, and ensure proactive mitigation of known threats.

Key Features

Technology Stack

Working Flow

1. User Uploads File – Admin/tester uploads a file to the platform in a sandboxed environment.

2. File Analysis – System scans the file using static/dynamic analysis to detect potential vulnerabilities.

3. CVE Tagging – Identified vulnerabilities are matched against known CVEs from a database like NVD.

4. Severity Assessment – Each CVE is scored by severity (low, medium, high, critical) for risk prioritization.

5. Reporting – Generate detailed reports showing file, detected vulnerabilities, CVE IDs, and risk scores.

6. Alert & Dashboard – Admins are notified of high-severity vulnerabilities; dashboard visualizes CVE trends.

7. Audit Logging – All uploads, analyses, and alerts are logged for compliance and tracking.
