Hello!
On IRC earlier today we were looking at
<https://repology.org/repository/gnuguix/problems> and wondering about
the CPE suggestions (which are nice!).
I tried the attached hack, which produces a few useless and sometimes
erroneous suggestions, by comparing the “references” of each CVE
(usually URLs of a security advisory or bug report) to the home page of
the package:

The conclusion is that, to make good suggestions, we need to parse the
CPE dictionary as well:
https://nvd.nist.gov/Products/CPE
This one is still XML (not JSON) and we’d have to merge duplicates, as
in this example:

The references are not always useful, as above, but sometimes there’s a
“Product” reference that is the package home page.
Anyway, would be nice to add that to (guix cve) instead of succumbing to
the convenience of SaaSS!
