What are CVEs?

CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) is a standardized system for identifying security vulnerabilities. Each CVE entry contains an ID, description, and references to related advisories. This API mirrors the official NVD database, providing fast local access to vulnerability data.

This service is built for OpenKAT, an open-source security scanning platform that helps organizations identify vulnerabilities in their infrastructure. The CVE data powers OpenKAT's vulnerability detection and reporting capabilities.
