Buggy - Vulnerability Alert System
An application that provides real-time notifications about software bugs and security vulnerabilities with resolution status tracking.
Project Overview
Buggy is a vulnerability monitoring system designed to help developers and IT professionals stay informed about critical software vulnerabilities affecting their systems. The application aggregates data from multiple security databases and provides actionable alerts with severity ratings and patch availability information.
Key Features
- Real-time Monitoring: Continuously scans multiple vulnerability databases
- Custom Alerts: Configurable notifications based on severity and software inventory
- Impact Analysis: Estimates potential damage from unpatched vulnerabilities
- Patch Tracking: Monitors patch development and release status
- Reporting: Generates compliance and audit reports
- Integration: Works with common project management tools
Technical Architecture
The system is built with a modular architecture:
Data Collection Layer
Scrapers and API connectors for NVD, CVE, vendor advisories
Processing Layer
Normalization, severity scoring, correlation engine
Storage Layer
Database with optimized query capabilities
Presentation Layer
Web interface, mobile app, and API endpoints
Security Measures
- End-to-end encryption for all communications
- Role-based access control with 2FA
- Regular penetration testing
- Isolated data processing containers
- Immutable audit logs
