TLAScanner - URL & File Malware Scanner + CVE Intelligence

Real‑time security scanner that checks URLs and files for threats via VirusTotal, and enriches results with CVE intelligence from NVD. Built with Next.js, Express, PostgreSQL, and Socket.IO.

Paste a URL or upload a file to get instant risk stats, AV engine detections, threat signatures, and community feedback. Includes fast CVE search with caching, rate‑limited APIs, and resilient background polling.

Overview TLAScanner is a full‑stack security tool that scans URLs and files using VirusTotal and augments results with CVE data from NVD. It persists scans in PostgreSQL, de‑duplicates by file hash, and streams status updates in real time via WebSockets. The UI is built with Next.js and Tailwind, featuring animated progress, CVSS visualization, and toasts for backend health. The backend uses Express, strong input validation, rate limiting, and exponential backoff to handle API quotas and flaky networks.

Highlights

• URL Scanner: VirusTotal analysis, HTTP response details, redirect chain, headers, engine-by-engine verdicts, and community comments/votes.

• File Scanner: Upload with size limits, SHA‑256/SHA‑1/MD5 hashing, reuse existing VT reports by hash, real‑time status via Socket.IO, and threat signature aggregation (family/type/severity).

• CVE Lookup: NVD 2.0 integration with keyword/CVE‑ID search, Postgres caching, and search history logging.
