# Clink Forge CVE Detail Lookup

> Clink Forge CVE Detail Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from api.clinkforge.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-16).

Returns detailed CVE vulnerability information with cryptographic provenance attestation, paid per call via x402 micropayment protocol.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://api.clinkforge.com/v1/p/cve-detail-lookup
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-16
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/clink-forge-cve-detail-lookup-89b94c29
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_CAHi5hEVlnnoYICm4T9pl

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 clink-forge-cve-detail-lookup-89b94c29
```

Example prompt: Pull the full details for CVE-2024-1234 — I need the provenance chain and cryptographic attestation included so I can verify the data source.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need CVE vulnerability details with cryptographic provenance and tamper-evident attestation — particularly in automated agent pipelines where data integrity verification is required. It is ideal when your workflow demands a verifiable audit trail (Ed25519 signature + source URL + license ID) alongside the CVE payload, and when per-call micropayment via x402 is acceptable. Prefer alternatives (e.g. NVD API) if you need bulk CVE queries, free access, or do not require cryptographic attestation.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed CVE ID (id query param absent or exceeds 40 characters) returns a validation error
- CVE ID not found in the dataset returns empty rows array
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance results in 402 Payment Required response
- Invalid or expired payment header causes authentication rejection
- Network timeout or upstream data source unavailability returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Machine-purchasable data products with cryptographic provenance, sold per call over x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing data rows with CVE payload fields, product metadata (slug and version), a provenance chain (license ID, source URL, observation timestamp), an Ed25519 cryptographic signature attesting data integrity, and a payment receipt with settlement reference from the x402 micropayment transaction.
