Can we use powershell to identify windows vulnerabilities ?

Question

Is there a way to identify the applicable CVEs, Security advisories applicable on a given Windows installation using powershell ?

Answer 1

While not as pretty as the PowerShell module suggested by @Andreas Baumgarten , "nmap" is a proven bit of software that works very well, very quickly, and very thoroughly (something to be appreciated if there are large numbers of machines involved).

Here's an example: nmap-vulnerability-scan

Answer 2

Hi @Sashank Dara ,

maybe this is helpful to get started: https://aventistech.com/kb/get-latest-cve-from-msrc-with-powershell/

Or do you have already started with a PowerShell script?
