Actual behavior
The current CPE vendor and product values for tools are partly incorrect and should be reviewed.
A random check of six tools (AWS, Eclipse, IntelliJ, Jenkins, Rancher, and Android Studio) showed that several CPE mappings were inaccurate. This can lead to incorrect CVE matches, false positives, or missing vulnerabilities.
Additionally, some tools do not have an official CPE entry at all. For example, Android Studio currently has no official CPE entry in the NVD, but is still mapped to a CPE‑like identifier.
To improve the quality and reliability of vulnerability detection, CPE vendor and product values should be systematically checked and corrected for all tools where possible.
Reproduce
- Manually pick one of the six tested tools (AWS, Eclipse, IntelliJ, Jenkins, Rancher, and Android Studio)
- Look for the CPE vendor and product in the given
UrlUpdater
- Search for these values using the NVD search page
Expected behavior
All Tools should have the correct CPE vendor and product in their UrlUpdater (if there's an entry for that tool in the NVD database).

Comments/Hints
It might be worth considering an improvement to the PR checklist for new UrlUpdaters by adding an explicit step to verify the CPE vendor and product using the NVD before merging.
Additionally, I found the cpe‑guesser project, which provides both a CLI tool and a public online service (accessible via POST request with query parameters). This could be evaluated as a potential helper to support contributors in finding matching or candidate CPEs during the creation of new UrlUpdaters.
