# OSF CVE Lookup & Exploit Check

> OSF CVE Lookup & Exploit Check is a paid API for AI agents from api.osf-master-server.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status down (last checked 2026-10-13).

Looks up a CVE by ID and returns its CVSS severity, EPSS exploitation probability, and whether it appears on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://api.osf-master-server.com/x402/security/cve/:cve_id?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.05/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: down
- Last checked: 2026-10-13
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/osf-cve-lookup-exploit-check-948c1968
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_iI2DxA2dFxUBcqZ8Bly6G

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 osf-cve-lookup-exploit-check-948c1968
```

Example prompt: Is CVE-2021-44228 actively exploited in the wild? Give me its CVSS severity, EPSS score, and whether it's on the CISA KEV catalog, with links back to the official US government sources.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, provenance-stamped, US-government-sourced data on whether a specific CVE is actively exploited in the wild, especially for patch prioritization, compliance reporting, or DevSecOps pipelines. Prefer this over generic vulnerability databases when you need CISA KEV status and EPSS score together with official provenance URLs in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid CVE ID format returns result: INVALID_INPUT
- CVE not yet indexed in NVD returns result: NOT_FOUND
- Missing required 'format' query parameter causes request rejection
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout from upstream CISA or NVD sources may delay response

## How this service works

CVE lookup and exploit check by CVE id. Answers is this CVE actively exploited in the wild using the US CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, with the EPSS exploitation probability score and CVSS severity. Each field carries a provenance URL to the official US source. For vulnerability management, patch prioritization, threat intelligence, and DevSecOps agents.

## Output

Returns a JSON object indicating whether the CVE was FOUND or NOT_FOUND, a boolean actively_exploited flag (true if on CISA KEV), EPSS exploitation probability score, NVD record with CVSS severity details, an exploitation summary narrative, a compliance note, provenance URLs pointing to official US government sources, and an audit receipt for the query.
