# Research Available Patches

Finding a vulnerability is only half the battle -- you need to know how to fix it. For each vulnerability, there may be an official patch, a version upgrade, a configuration change that mitigates it, or a temporary workaround. Finding the right remediation path quickly is critical for minimizing exposure time.

The vulnerability database links CVEs to patch information, vendor advisories, and fix versions. By combining cve_details for specific patch lookups with search_vulnerabilities for broader remediation research, you can build a complete remediation plan that accounts for patches, workarounds, and compensating controls.

**Tool:** [Vulnerability Database](https://toolrouter.com/tools/vulnerability-database)
