CVE Scanner

# Overview

The CVE Scanner is a security-focused API that enables developers, security teams, and DevOps professionals to rapidly identify and assess Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) affecting their software supply chain. By submitting package names, versions, or vulnerability identifiers, users receive comprehensive CVE data including severity ratings, affected versions, and remediation guidance.

This tool integrates seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines, vulnerability management workflows, and security audits. It leverages authoritative CVE databases to deliver accurate, up-to-date intelligence on software vulnerabilities, helping organizations prioritize patching efforts and reduce risk exposure.

Ideal users include security engineers, application developers, DevOps teams, and compliance officers who need rapid, reliable CVE lookup capabilities integrated into automated security workflows.
