How to Check CVE Exposures with OpenClaw

CVE exposure detection with OpenClaw and ToolRouter. Find known vulnerabilities instantly.

OpenClaw runs Nuclei scans as automated, scheduled security assessments that provide continuous visibility into your vulnerability posture. Scan for CVEs, misconfigurations, default credentials, and outdated software across your entire infrastructure in a single systematic pass. Its batch scanning approach is ideal for establishing regular security baselines and tracking vulnerability trends over time, ensuring new threats are caught as templates are updated.

Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw

1Install the CLI

npm install -g toolrouter-mcp

2Call tools directly from OpenClaw

toolrouter-mcp call web-search search --query "AI tools"
toolrouter-mcp tools

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Security Nuclei tool:

Ask OpenClaw: "Check my server for known CVE exposures"
OpenClaw returns detected CVEs with severity ratings
Plan your patching based on the results

Example Prompt

Try this with OpenClaw using the Security Nuclei tool

Scan our production URL for any known CVE exposures. Show me the CVE IDs and severity levels.

Tips

React quickly to new CVE disclosures by scanning your targets immediately
Check both your application and underlying infrastructure
