Authoritative Vulnerability Intelligence
The challenge: Vulnerability data is fragmented across dozens of disconnected databases, each with different formats, identifiers, and update cadences. Correlating a single vulnerability across NVD, GHSA, and OSV means querying three APIs and reconciling the results yourself.
What you get: One API query returns normalised, enriched records from every major vulnerability authority worldwide. Cross-referenced identifiers, unified severity scoring, and a single source of truth.
