DESCRIPTION

Looks up a CVE and returns the full NIST NVD vulnerability record. Short alias of cve-lookup: CVSS v3.1 + v2 vectors, severity, CWE class, affected CPE list, references, public-exploit indicator with reference URLs, and a bounded exploitability summary. Federal public data. Use it as a vulnerability lookup, NVD record fetch, CVSS scorer, vuln advisory fetch, exploit-known check, or patch-priority triage for Log4Shell-style records.

cve_idstringCVE identifier in the form CVE-YYYY-NNNNN (e.g., CVE-2024-3094).
descriptionstringNVD's plain-text summary of the vulnerability and its impact.
publishedstringISO 8601 timestamp when NVD first published the CVE record.
cvss_v3_1objectCVSS v3.1 metrics object with base score, vector string, and severity breakdown.
cvss_v2objectLegacy CVSS v2 metrics object with base score, vector, and access/impact subscores.
scorenumberPrimary numeric CVSS base score (v3.1 preferred, falls back to v2) on the 0.0–10.0 scale.
severitystringQualitative severity label: NONE, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, or CRITICAL.
cwearrayArray of associated CWE weakness identifiers (e.g., CWE-79, CWE-787).
affected_cpesarrayArray of CPE 2.3 URIs identifying vulnerable products, versions, and configurations.
exploit_summarystringLLM-generated plain-English summary of how the vulnerability is exploited and its blast radius.
public_exploit_knownbooleanTrue if public exploit code, PoC, or active exploitation evidence is referenced.
exploit_referencesarrayArray of URLs to public PoCs, Metasploit modules, or exploit-DB entries.
referencesarrayArray of NVD reference URLs (vendor advisories, patches, analysis writeups).
EXAMPLEStwo ways to call
EXAMPLE 1 · curl
curl -X POST https://x402.agentutility.ai/cve \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ }'
first response = 402 Payment Required with payment requirements; sign + retry with X-PAYMENT.
EXAMPLE 2 · mcp
# Install the MCP package for this endpoint's cluster
npx -y @agentutility/mcp-<cluster>

# Required: EVM private key with USDC on Base
export X402_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...

# Then call the cve tool from your MCP-aware agent.
MCP server handles payment automatically — your coding agent just calls the tool by name.
