CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) identifiers are widely used in cybersecurity to track and reference security flaws in software and systems. This tool simplifies the process of looking up those vulnerabilities directly from the terminal without needing to visit multiple websites or dashboards. The tool supports two primary search modes: • **CVE ID Search** You can directly query a specific vulnerability using its CVE identifier (for example: CVE-2024-XXXX). The tool fetches structured information such as description, publication date, last modified date, severity scores, and external references. • **Keyword Search** You can search vulnerabilities based on software names, technologies, or general keywords. This is useful when you are exploring potential security issues in a system or library. The results are displayed in a clean, color-formatted terminal interface using the Rich library, making it easier to read and understand security data at a glance. Internally, the tool integrates with public vulnerability data sources such as CIRCL and NVD APIs to retrieve up-to-date CVE information. It processes and formats the raw API responses into a structured and human-readable output. This CLI is designed to be lightweight, fast, and easy to use. It can be executed in interactive mode or via direct command-line arguments, making it suitable for both quick lookups and scripting workflows. CVE Scanner CLI is especially useful for: * **Developers checking dependency vulnerabilities** * **Security analysts performing quick CVE lookups** * **DevOps engineers integrating vulnerability checks into workflows** * **Students learning about cybersecurity and CVE tracking systems** The goal of this tool is to make vulnerability information more accessible directly from the terminal, reducing the need for external tools or manual searches while improving workflow efficiency. ### Package name * cvecli --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * 25 September 2026 - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [debasisbiswas.in](https://debasisbiswas.in "https://debasisbiswas.in") --- ### Donations * [buymeacoffee.com](https://buymeacoffee.com/debasisbiswas "https://buymeacoffee.com/debasisbiswas") --- ### Source code * [github.com/DebaA17/CVE-scanner-cli](https://github.com/DebaA17/CVE-scanner-cli "https://github.com/DebaA17/CVE-scanner-cli") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/DebaA17/CVE-scanner-cli/issues](https://github.com/DebaA17/CVE-scanner-cli/issues "https://github.com/DebaA17/CVE-scanner-cli/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/cvecli/centos#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on CentOS and install cvecli Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/cvecli/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command: ``` sudo yum install epel-release ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install cvecli To install cvecli, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install cvecli ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
