Vulnerability Lookup
The Vulnerability Lookup feature allows users to search for detailed information on specific CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). This tool is essential for understanding potential security risks and finding guidance on mitigation. If the search criteria are too broad, the results will be limited to a maximum of 500 CVEs, so it is best to use specific CVE identifiers to refine your search.
