# firewallissues
An alternative view of issues documented by our favorite firewall vendor.

Feel free to host your own version, or use [the one I host](https://firewallissues.axvig.com/).

Inspired by [Pixi888's](https://www.reddit.com/user/Pixi888/) creation [bugidsearch.com](https://bugidsearch.com/).

## Data updates ##
Known and addressed issues for newly released versions are easily added using the process.html page
- Copy the issue table's HTML from the webpage using devtools.
- Fill out the process.html page's fields and paste in the table HTML.
- Download the Markdown file and put it into the correct folder.
- Run `npm run update:generated` to update `products.json`, append new stable
  product-tree manifest slots, and regenerate rendered test fixtures.
- Submit a pull request.

There is intentionally no automated scaping of Palo Alto's website, to avoid abuse of server resources.  Also releases are not that frequent.  A crawler to grab some data from the Common Crawl dataset was started but never really finished.

Some data was collected early on when the HTMLTable -> Markdown code was kind of bad, so the formatting of the issue write-up tends to be bad on those.  Mostly PAN-OS 10 and 11 stuff.

## External references ##

The `external_refs.json` file allows for links to be added to other websites that have information or discussion about certain issues.

I have vague ideas of something similar for CVEs.
