What's in the VDB

Vulnerability Intelligence

Aggregated from CVE.org, NVD, EUVD, Google OSI, OSV, GitHub Security Advisories, VulDB, and 150+ more sources. Every CVE enriched with CVSS v2/v3/v4, EPSS, SSVC, and KEV status.

Exploit Intelligence

18+ exploit sources including ExploitDB, Metasploit, GitHub PoCs, and NVD. Know which vulnerabilities have working exploits before you triage.

Fix Intelligence

Patch availability, vendor advisories, and remediation guidance correlated across all vulnerability sources.

Package Risk

Search packages across npm, PyPI, Maven, RubyGems, crates.io, Go modules, NuGet, and more. Identify malicious packages, version ranges, and safe upgrade paths.

Scorecards

OpenSSF Scorecard integration for open source project security health scoring.

SOC Detection Content

Snort/Suricata IDS/IPS rules, YARA signatures, Nuclei templates and MITRE ATT&CK technique chains, generated from exploit intelligence and ready for the SOC pipeline.

Vulnerability Data Sources

Comprehensive coverage from government agencies, security organisations, and ecosystem-specific advisories, aggregated, normalised, and enriched in real time. Every record keeps its upstream identifier, so a finding always traces back to the authority that published it.

OSV.dev

Advanced Scoring Systems

Multi-dimensional risk assessment with predictive analytics. Severity alone does not rank work: every record carries the prediction and weakness scores that decide what gets fixed first. This exploit-aware enrichment is the evidence layer under Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM), exposure scored by real-world exploitability rather than raw CVSS.

FIRST.org

Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) and Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) standards.

  • EPSS scoring system
  • CVSS v2/v3/v4 severity ratings

Coalition ESS

Coalition Exploit Scoring System providing Exploit Availability and Usage Probability analysis.

  • Exploit Availability Probability (EAP)
  • Exploit Usage Probability (EUP)

CWSS

Common Weakness Scoring System, a developer-friendly scoring system focused on code weaknesses rather than deployed vulnerabilities.

  • Code weakness assessment
  • Implementation complexity metrics

SSVC

Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization, an infinitely customisable policy-based prioritisation system.

  • Customisable decision trees
  • Context-aware scoring

AI-Powered Intelligence Extraction

Upstream advisories describe a vulnerability in a paragraph of English. Machine learning turns that paragraph into the fields triage needs: affected functions, version ranges, fix commits, and a prediction of whether anyone will exploit it.

Affected functions extraction

AI extracts function names from vulnerability descriptions to enable precise reachability analysis and cut false positives.

Example: Extracts parseXML() from the description for targeted code analysis

Version range intelligence

Smart parsing of vulnerable and fixed version ranges from natural-language descriptions, giving accurate vulnerability windows.

Example: Converts "fixed in 2.1.3" to the semantic range >=2.1.3

Git commit hash detection

Identifies and extracts git commit hashes from advisories, linking straight to the security fix.

Example: Finds "commit abc123f" and links to the actual code change

Remediation advice generation

Context-aware guidance generated from your technology stack, the vulnerability type, and your organisational policies.

Example: Suggests the specific configuration change for your environment

Pix assistant triage

Triage assistant that analyses vulnerabilities, writes investigation notes, and recommends prioritisation for your environment.

Example: Analyses exploitability and business impact automatically

Vulnetix LEV

Likely Exploited Vulnerabilities (LEV) predicts exploitation likelihood beyond traditional scoring systems.

Example: Predicts exploitation probability from attack vectors, vulnerability age, and threat-actor intelligence
