NIST NVD

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) is the U.S. government’s central repository for standardized vulnerability information. Maintained by NIST, it's a vital tool for cybersecurity risk analysis and threat management.

Introduction

The NVD provides detailed and standardized information about known software vulnerabilities, utilizing the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system. It includes metrics like CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) scores, impact assessments, remediation references, and exploitability data. Users can search vulnerabilities by keyword, CVE ID, vendor, product, or version. The NVD also supports automated data feeds for integration with security tools and risk management systems, making it a foundational tool for vulnerability scanning, compliance, and patch management.
