cveClient is a pure static web application — all files are served directly to the browser with no build step, no transpilation, and no server-side processing.
Any local web server will work. Pick whichever you have installed:
# Python
python3 -m http.server 8080
# Node.js
npx serve .
# PHP
php -S localhost:8080
# Ruby
ruby -run -e httpd . -p 8080Then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
Note: Opening index.html directly from the filesystem (file://) will not work — browsers block network requests from local files.
Clone the repository into a web-accessible folder on your web server:
git clone https://github.com/CERTCC/cveClient.git /var/www/html/cveClientThen visit your server's URL at /cveClient/. Ensure your web server's default index file includes index.html.
If you use Content-Security-Policy (CSP) headers on your web server or reverse proxy, the following CSP is recommended for the cveClient folder:
default-src 'self' blob: http://127.0.0.1:* http://localhost:*;
connect-src 'self' http://127.0.0.1:* http://localhost:* *.mitre.org;
script-src 'self' https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com https://code.jquery.com https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com https://unpkg.com https://apis.google.com blob:;
style-src 'self' https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com 'unsafe-inline' https://unpkg.com;
img-src 'self' data: blob:;
object-src 'self'
Add to your .htaccess or virtual host configuration:
<Directory /var/www/html/cveClient>
Header set Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self' blob: http://127.0.0.1:* http://localhost:*; connect-src 'self' http://127.0.0.1:* http://localhost:* *.mitre.org; script-src 'self' https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com https://code.jquery.com https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com https://unpkg.com https://apis.google.com blob:; style-src 'self' https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com 'unsafe-inline' https://unpkg.com; img-src 'self' data: blob:; object-src 'self'"
</Directory>location /cveClient/ {
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self' blob: http://127.0.0.1:* http://localhost:*; connect-src 'self' http://127.0.0.1:* http://localhost:* *.mitre.org; script-src 'self' https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com https://code.jquery.com https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com https://unpkg.com https://apis.google.com blob:; style-src 'self' https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com 'unsafe-inline' https://unpkg.com; img-src 'self' data: blob:; object-src 'self'";
}The application connects to one of three CVE Services environments, selectable at login:
| Environment | URL |
|---|---|
| Production | https://cveawg.mitre.org/api |
| Test | https://cveawg-test.mitre.org/api |
| Local | http://127.0.0.1:3000/api |
If you need to connect to a different endpoint, modify the <select> element in index.html (around line 670).
