csaf-rust

This repository is a proof-of-concept for a CSAF library in Rust that relies on automatically generating CSAF document structs from the JSON schema.

This is work-in-progress.

Build

If you want to build csaf-validator on your own, please install Rust (see https://rustup.rs) and then run

# make sure submodules are up-to-date
git submodule init
git submodule update --remote

# run the tests
cargo test

# build for release
cargo build --release

The final binary will be in target/release and can then installed for example in a system-wide folder.

Usage

After building or downloading csaf-validator from the available releases, the usage is quite simple and additional help can be display using --help.

A validator for CSAF documents

Usage: csaf-validator [OPTIONS] <PATH>

Arguments:
  <PATH>  

Options:
  -c, --csaf-version <CSAF_VERSION>  Version of CSAF to use [default: 2.0]
  -p, --preset <PRESET>              The validation preset to use [default: basic]
  -t, --test-id <TEST_ID>            Run only the selected tests, may be specified multiple times
  -h, --help                         Print help
  -V, --version                      Print version

Some examples to use are included below. Please note that the validation is not yet fully implemented!

# validate a CSAF 2.0 document with profile basic (the default)
csaf-validator --csaf-version 2.0 my-csaf-2-0-document.json

# validate a CSAF 2.0 document with profile full
csaf-validator --csaf-version 2.0 --preset full my-csaf-2-0-document.json

# validate a CSAF 2.1 document with one specific test
csaf-validator --csaf-version 2.1 --test-id 6.1.34 my-csaf-2-1-document.json
