💖 MetaCPAN::Client::CVE 💖

okay bestie, so this page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the manual is MetaCPA...ent::CVE(3) — yes the name is truncated like that, that's just how it comes, no notes 💅. She's a Perl manual page, and she is serving documentation for a permission data object. Let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

MetaCPAN::Client::CVE — a Permission data object. that's literally the whole name section, she's concise, she's iconic 👑

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.040000</pruple>

ok lowkey that's the version. 2.040000. slay.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the vibe check, the little taste test, the appetiser:

my $cve = $mcpan->cve('MooseX::Types');

that's it. that's the whole flex. you call cve on your $mcpan and pass it a distribution name like 'MooseX::Types' and boom, you get a CVE object back 💖

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

A MetaCPAN CVE entity object.

fr fr, that's the description. she's a CVE entity object for MetaCPAN. short, sweet, main character energy, no cap.

🌈 ATTRIBUTES 🌈

okay this is the good part, this is where all the actual info lives. every single attribute, and what it gives you 🫶

  • description — the CVE description. literally the description of the CVE.
  • distribution — the CPAN distribution. the dist in question 🍓
  • reported — the reporting date of the CVE. when it got reported.
  • severity — the severity of the CVE. how spicy it is 🔥
  • affected_versions — ranges of CPAN affected versions. like, which versions are caught in it.
  • cves — list of CVEs. plural. a whole list.
  • references — list of references, and those references are URLs.
  • releases — list of CPAN releases.
  • versions — extracted list of existing CPAN releases.
bestie note: cves, references, releases and versions all hand you back lists, not single values. and affected_versions gives you ranges of affected versions. don't get caught lacking 🙈
