Software Product CPE Name Search (NVD CPE Dictionary)

nvd/cpe-search

Search NIST's CPE dictionary, the official naming scheme for software, hardware and operating systems, by keyword. Returns CPE 2.3 names (vendor, product and version), each with its title, creation and change dates, and whether it is deprecated and by what. Use the names with cve-search to list the CVEs for one exact product version. Paged: 10 per call by default, up to 50. National Vulnerability Database data, passed through unmodified and served by Eden Engine; not an official NIST or NVD product.
