Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CVE?

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) is a standardized system for identifying publicly known cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Each CVE receives a unique identifier (like CVE-2024-1234) that allows security professionals to reference and track specific vulnerabilities across different tools and databases.

How do I search for vulnerabilities affecting my software?

Enter your software product name, vendor, or specific version in the search field. The tool will display all known CVEs affecting that software. You can further filter results by severity (CVSS score) to prioritize critical vulnerabilities requiring immediate attention.

What is CVSS and how do I use it?

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) provides a standardized way to assess vulnerability severity on a scale of 0-10. Scores are categorized as: Critical (9.0-10.0), High (7.0-8.9), Medium (4.0-6.9), and Low (0.1-3.9). Use these scores to prioritize patching and remediation efforts.

Is this CVE data updated in real-time?

Yes, our tool pulls data directly from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), which is continuously updated as new vulnerabilities are discovered and published. You’ll always have access to the latest CVE information for informed security decisions.

Can I use this tool for vulnerability management?

Absolutely. This CVE lookup tool is ideal for vulnerability assessment, security audits, compliance reporting, and ongoing vulnerability management. Use it to identify vulnerable software in your environment, track CVE status, and verify that patches address known security issues.

Is my search data private?

Yes. All CVE searches are processed securely in your browser. We don’t log, store, or track your searches or vulnerability research activities. Your security investigations remain completely private.
