OWASP's VulnXML Database

Posted by michael on Saturday July 5, 2003 @09:00AM from the autocracker dept.

Ingo Struck writes "The Open Web Application Security Project released the VulnXML db for early access to the public. VulnXML is a description of static known vulnerabilities. It provides all necessary information to let an execution engine automatically craft and launch appropriate HTTP, SOAP or WebDAV requests and analyse the response whether the attack had success. Besides it provides some human readable classification of the described vulnerability. A tool to execute VulnXML records is currently being developed and will help developers to check their web applications against a suite of well-known vulnerabilities described in a portable format."

Check out BXML for a binary encoding of XML to efficiently carry scientific/array-type data. Feedback appreciated.
