## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability aurenic-cve-lookup-7eca7787
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the details for CVE-2024-3400 — I want to know the severity, what systems are affected, and a description of the vulnerability?

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap ($0.001 per call) programmatic lookup of a specific CVE by its identifier without setting up access to the NVD or MITRE APIs directly. Ideal for AI agents performing security triage, dependency auditing, or enriching vulnerability alerts with structured CVE metadata on a pay-per-use basis.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed CVE ID format returns an error or empty result
- CVE ID not found in the database returns a 404 or empty response
- Network timeout if the upstream CVE data source is unavailable
- Rate limiting or payment failure if x402 payment is not properly handled

## How this service works

Web scraping and AI automation. High-performance data extraction and pay-per-call microservices.

## Output

Returns structured vulnerability data for the requested CVE ID, including the CVE identifier, description of the vulnerability, severity/CVSS score, affected products or versions, publication and last-modified dates, and any references or patch links associated with the vulnerability.
