Research Vulnerabilities by Software

Search for known vulnerabilities affecting specific software products, libraries, or frameworks in your stack.

Vulnerability Database

Every piece of software in your stack has a vulnerability history. Before adopting a new library, upgrading a framework, or assessing your current exposure, you need to know what vulnerabilities have been reported. Manually searching CVE databases and filtering by product and version is tedious when you are evaluating multiple components.

The search_vulnerabilities skill lets you query vulnerability databases by software name, version, and vendor. You get a complete list of known issues with severity scores, affected version ranges, and patch status. This is essential for technology selection, risk assessments, and understanding your current exposure.
