Run Automated Vulnerability Scans
Scan targets for known vulnerabilities using Nuclei's extensive template library.
Check for Known CVE Exposures
Detect whether your targets are affected by specific CVEs with publicly disclosed exploits.
ToolWhen a new CVE drops, the question is always the same: are we affected? Manually checking each service version across your infrastructure is tedious and error-prone. Nuclei templates are often published within hours of a CVE disclosure, providing automated detection for the exact vulnerability.
The scan_targets skill can run CVE-specific templates against your targets. Instead of guessing based on version numbers, you get confirmation of whether the vulnerability is actually exploitable on your infrastructure. This turns CVE response from a panic drill into a structured check.
