Ability to autolink to CVEs

[fa7ad]

Hi, I'd like to be able to use the Autolink feature for linking to the CVE dictionary, like this:

I tried using the existing feature with this setting

    {
      "prefix": "CVE-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-<num>"
    }

However, this seems to only link to the first part (CVE-2024)

Right now, my work around is to use a massive configuration like this:

Expand

  "gitlens.autolinks": [
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2024-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2023-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2022-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2021-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2021-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2020-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2020-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2019-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2019-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2018-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2017-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2017-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2016-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2016-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2015-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2015-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2014-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2014-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2013-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2013-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2012-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2012-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2011-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2011-<num>"
    },
    {
      "prefix": "CVE-2010-",
      "url": "https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2010-<num>"
    }
  ]

But given CVEs extend well beyond 2010, the configuration would be truly huge to cover all possible years and would only grow. Plus this seems to me like a massive hack to achieve something that should be (in my opinion) better supported.

I also tried enabling the alphanumeric option to true, but that doesn't seem to capture the dashes either.

One possible solution would be to allow regular expressions or some other pattern based rules, but builtin support for CVEs would work just as well if you're apprehensive about adding regex support.
