Cisco openVuln API Ansible role

This role queries the Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) openVuln API for useful information regarding security advisories.

Currently can query:

• IOS/IOS XE software endpoint
• Hello API (Hello World)

More information available here:

• https://developer.cisco.com/site/PSIRT/discover/overview/
• https://developer.cisco.com/site/PSIRT/get-started/getting-started.html (future API endpoints to support)

These Cisco API's support the CVRF and OVAL standards.

Future/TODO

Initially very basic, this role in the future will hopefully cater for the majority of the endpoints and options as specified in the Cisco openVuln Swagger definition.

In addition to this, depending on interest:

• Report generation
• Sorting by CVSS score
• Caching of results (so we don't hit the API too much)

Requirements

• A Cisco CCO ID
• Register an application on the Cisco API Console (https://apiconsole.cisco.com/)

  My Application > New Application > Any name and select Client Credentials

• Retrieve the API client id and client secrets for the API you wish to query. This role uses Cisco PSIRT openVuln API and Hello API, ensure you enable those APIs in the console.
