Description

Current logic is here

Here are a few I've seen from examining some of my recent manual triages:

  • x.x.x up to and including x.x.x
  • x.x.x and earlier
  • x.x.x or older
  • x.x.x and below
  • up to and including x.x.x
  • prior to x.x.x
  • below x.x.x

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the version extraction logic in vulnfeeds/cves/versions.go and add the listed common phrases (e.g., 'x.x.x up to and including x.x.x', 'x.x.x and earlier', etc.) to the pattern matching.
