📜 Description

PatchaPalooza uses the power of Microsoft's MSRC CVRF API to fetch, store, and analyze security update data. Designed for cybersecurity professionals, it offers a streamlined experience for those who require a quick yet detailed overview of vulnerabilities, their exploitation status, and more. This tool operates entirely offline once the data has been fetched, ensuring that your analyses can continue even without an internet connection.

• Offline Storage: Stores the fetched data for offline analysis.
• Detailed Analysis: Analyze specific months or get a comprehensive view across months.
• CVE Details: Dive deep into specifics of a particular CVE.
• Exploitation Overview: Quickly identify which vulnerabilities are currently being exploited.
• CVSS Scoring: Prioritize your patching efforts based on CVSS scores.
• Categorized Overview: Get a breakdown of vulnerabilities based on their types.
