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.
• Fix up the products.json file manually or run update_products_from_issues.py.
• 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.
