SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing a consistent Onion-style satire post for each new memory-safety CVE requires manually filling in CVE details, project names, links, and vulnerability summaries into a template, which is repetitive and error-prone.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template-Based Generation: Runs a Go generator (cmd/no-way-to-prevent-this) that fills a satire post template from CLI flags and writes a Markdown file to lume/src/shitposts/no-way-to-prevent-this/.
  • CVE Research Workflow: Guides fetching the NVD page to extract the affected project, vulnerability type, and whether the code is C or C++, plus web-searching for the official project homepage.
  • Variant Support: Supports memory-safety (default) and supply-chain templates, with a -c++ flag to adjust wording for C++ projects.
  • Use Case: Given a new heap-overflow CVE in libssh2, look up the NVD entry, find the official homepage, and generate a ready-to-publish satire post in one command.

Quick Start

Generate a no-way-to-prevent-this satire post for CVE-2026-55200 affecting libssh2 by looking up the NVD entry and running the Go generator with the appropriate flags.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a no-way-to-prevent-this satire post for a CVE?

Run the Go generator with flags for the CVE id, NVD link, project name, project homepage, and a technical summary. The command writes a Markdown file to lume/src/shitposts/no-way-to-prevent-this/<template>/<CVE>.md.

What information do I need from the NVD page before running the generator?

Extract the affected project name, the vulnerability type with a one-line technical description of the root cause, and whether the project is written in C or C++. The C++ determination controls whether you pass the -c++ flag.

When should I pass the -c++ flag to the generator?

Pass -c++ only when the affected project is actually written in C++, since the flag changes the post's wording. C is the default, so omit the flag for C projects.

Why does the generated post have a broken project link?

The -project-link flag must come from a real web search for the official project homepage, not a guessed or constructed URL. Using package mirrors or assumed domains ships a broken link in the post.

Why does the generator produce no output in the terminal?

The command is silent on success and writes directly to a file. Verify the result by checking the new Markdown file under lume/src/shitposts/no-way-to-prevent-this/ and reading it for correctness.
