ICS-Advisory-Project

An open source community project that publishes CISA ICS advisories as CSV for vulnerability analysis, adding vendor detail that CVE data alone does not carry.

The ICS Advisory Project publishes CISA ICS advisories as comma separated value data to support vulnerability analysis for the ICS and OT community. It is framed as a community effort, with an open invitation to contribute to improving, expanding, and maintaining the data source.

Some of the dataset may look duplicative of CVE data, but the README argues the advisories add insight a CVE does not carry, like vendor details. The CSV format is chosen because it better supports vulnerability analysis, and the extra insight includes vendor headquarters locations, product distributions, and critical infrastructure details. For analysts working in OT security, that extra context is often the difference between a lead and a dead end.

Questions and suggestions go to the maintainers, and a third party Splunk add on gives a way to consume the data in Splunk. The project also keeps Discord channels and associated OT and ICS communities, so the data has a social layer around it.

Disclaimers are explicit. The repository focuses solely on CISA ICS advisories formatted to help organizations look for vulnerabilities specific to vendors and products used in OT and ICS environments, and the datasets are offered as is without warranty. That is the legal framing for the distribution.

The project turns CISA advisory data into a reusable CSV for OT and ICS vulnerability analysis, and asks for contributors to keep it maintained. A third party Splunk add on offers one way to consume it.
