New CVE Forecasting Tool Predicts 47,000 Disclosures in 2025
CVEForecast.org uses machine learning to project a record-breaking surge in vulnerability disclosures in 2025.
This library provides functionality for fetching and parsing information about Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) using the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) RESTful API.

pip install cveutils
To use this library, simply import the CVE class and initialize an instance with a CVE ID as a string.
from cveutils import CVE
cve = CVE('CVE-2021-12345')
The CVE
object has the following attributes:
ID
: The CVE IDinfo
: The full JSON response from the NVD API for the given CVE IDdescription
: The description of the CVEcvss_v2
: A dictionary containing the CVSSv2 score and related metrics (if available)cvss_v3
: A dictionary containing the CVSSv3 score and related metrics (if available)published_date
: The published date of the CVE in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD)last_modified_date
: The last modified date of the CVE in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD)assigner
: The organization that assigned the CVE IDreferences
: A list of references related to the CVEThe cvss_v2
and cvss_v3
attributes are instances of the CVSSDictionary class, which allows access to the dictionary keys as attributes.
from cveutils import CVE
cve = CVE('CVE-2021-12345')
print(cve.ID)
print(cve.description)
print(cve.cvss_v3.baseScore)
print(cve.published_date)
print(cve.last_modified_date)
print(cve.assigner)
print(cve.references)
Output:
