nvd-cli

This project is designed to assist with searching the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and getting vulnerability info for the products that matter to you

If there's errors or anything like that, feel free to put up and issue or contact me personally.

Please be patient since this will be the first npm cli-type project I've worked on. I'll be testing as I can
