Versions:
CVE Scanner CLI is a command-line tool published by DebaA17, currently available in version 1.3.0, with a total of eight released versions documented in its catalog record. The software falls within the security and vulnerability management category, as its stated purpose is to search CVEs, which stands for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, using public APIs. CVE identifiers are the standard reference system for publicly known cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and this tool provides a way to query that information directly from a terminal or command-line environment rather than through a graphical interface or web browser. By relying on public APIs, CVE Scanner CLI retrieves CVE data from externally hosted sources, meaning its results reflect the information made available through those public services. The tool is suited to use cases where users need to look up vulnerability records as part of their workflow, such as checking whether specific CVEs exist, researching vulnerabilities referenced in security reports, or incorporating CVE lookups into scripted or terminal-based processes common in security operations, system administration, and development environments. Because it is a command-line application, it can be integrated into shell workflows and automation scripts, which distinguishes it from browser-based CVE search services. Its eight version releases indicate that the project has undergone multiple iterations leading up to the current 1.3.0 release, though the catalog data does not specify the changes introduced in each version or the release dates associated with them. Users interested in the tool's history can consult its version listing for details beyond what the current record provides. In summary, CVE Scanner CLI serves a focused function within the security tooling space: it enables command-line searching of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database through public APIs, offering a lightweight and scriptable option for accessing vulnerability information in environments where terminal-based tools are preferred or required.
