0xMarcio 08d697bd12 Carry each record's title, vendor and product, and search them first
A CVE List V5 record names what it is about: a title such as "PAN-OS:
Arbitrary File Creation Leads to OS Command Injection Vulnerability in
GlobalProtect", a vendor and its products. None of it was kept, so a query
for pan-os or prisma access only found records whose prose happened to say
so. Every record now opens with the title in bold and a Vendor badge per
affected vendor, refreshed from a local CVE List checkout in one pass and
kept current by the daily sync for the records it fetches. Only the lines
above the description move; descriptions and PoC sections are untouched.
The pass also settled the heading link on cve.org and trimmed the stray
space some version badges carried.

The site index carries title, vendor and product for the 40 percent of
indexed CVEs whose records have them. Search scores a hit in those above
any position in the description, results show the title as a headline,
and each page puts it under the CVE id, in the browser title, the meta
description and an Affected row, with the block hubs listing it in place
of the description's opening.

The 35 MB metadata file the homepage needed before anything could be
filtered is split in two for the page: the CVSS rows load with the rest,
the advisories follow the index instead of competing with it for the
connection. cve_metadata.json stays whole for anyone reading the API.

CVE-2017-3823

Description

An issue was discovered in the Cisco WebEx Extension before 1.0.7 on Google Chrome, the ActiveTouch General Plugin Container before 106 on Mozilla Firefox, the GpcContainer Class ActiveX control plugin before 10031.6.2017.0126 on Internet Explorer, and the Download Manager ActiveX control plugin before 2.1.0.10 on Internet Explorer. A vulnerability in these Cisco WebEx browser extensions could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected browser on an affected system. This vulnerability affects the browser extensions for Cisco WebEx Meetings Server and Cisco WebEx Centers (Meeting Center, Event Center, Training Center, and Support Center) when they are running on Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability is a design defect in an application programing interface (API) response parser within the extension. An attacker that can convince an affected user to visit an attacker-controlled web page or follow an attacker-supplied link with an affected browser could exploit the vulnerability. If successful, the attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected browser.
