How this service works
Look up a CVE by id, or search the NVD catalogue by keyword. Returns the CVSS base score and vector with its version (v4, v3.1, v3.0 or v2 - whichever NVD published), severity, CWE classification, publication and last-modified dates, vulnerability status and references. Straight from the NIST National Vulnerability Database.
Output
Returns a JSON object with CVE records matching the query — including CVE identifier, description, severity information, affected products, and publication metadata. The response also indicates whether the result was served from cache and the number of billing units consumed.
Example use cases
Patch prioritization for security team
“Search CVEs related to 'openssl buffer overflow' and return up to 10 results so I can see which ones we need to patch first.”
Incident response CVE verification
“I just heard about an active exploit — can you pull up the full details for CVE-2023-44487 so I can understand the scope and affected versions?”
Vulnerability research by keyword
“Find up to 5 CVEs mentioning 'Apache Struts remote code execution' so I can review what's been publicly disclosed.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agents.dexl.io/v1/tools/cve-lookupWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs programmatic, pay-per-call access to CVE vulnerability data without managing API keys or accounts. Ideal for security automation pipelines, incident response agents, or vulnerability triage workflows that need to resolve CVE IDs or search by keyword on demand. Prefer over NIST NVD or Shodan integrations when operating in an x402 machine-to-machine payment context or when no persistent credentials are desired.
Side effects
- No matching CVE found for the given ID returns an empty output object
- Keyword search with no results returns empty output
- Invalid CVE ID format may return no results or an error
- Exceeding the maximum limit of 20 results causes a validation error
- Payment failure (x402) results in a 402 response before any data is returned
