## Pricing

from $12.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## CVE Bulk Lookup — CVSS, Severity & Affected-Product Enrichment

### 📊 Example output (real run)

![Sample output](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/1ztQFHwG8acESTazI/records/cve-bulk-lookup-sample)

A real record from a live run — clean structured data, exported as CSV / JSON / Excel or via API.

**Turn a plain list of CVE IDs into fully enriched vulnerability records: CVSS base score, severity band, affected products (CPE), and reference links — in one bulk run.**

No API key, no signup, no rate-limit key rotation. Pay per result. Data is fetched live from the public CVE / NVD ecosystem on every run, so scores and metadata reflect the current record.

### What this actor does

Give it a list of CVE identifiers (e.g. `CVE-2021-44228`) and it returns one clean, typed record per CVE containing:

- **CVSS base score** and the derived **severity** band (LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH / CRITICAL)
- **Affected products / CPE** matches
- **Reference URLs** (advisories, patches, exploit notes)
- **Description** of the vulnerability

### Why teams use it

- **Patch prioritization** — sort your backlog by real CVSS severity instead of a name
- **Threat intelligence** — enrich alerts and SIEM feeds with structured context
- **Vulnerability management** — bulk-score an inventory export in one pass
- **Security scorecards & vendor risk** — attach severity to third-party CVE mentions
- **AI security agents** — feed clean CVE context to an agent without building a scraper

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `cves` | List of CVE IDs to enrich. Example: `["CVE-2021-44228", "CVE-2024-3094"]` |
| `maxConcurrent` | Parallel lookups — higher is faster. |

### Output

One structured record per CVE. Export the dataset as **CSV, JSON, or Excel** from the Apify console, or pull it via the Apify API straight into your ticketing / SIEM / SOAR pipeline.

### FAQ

**Do I need an API key or account?** No. Provide the CVE list and run.

**Is the data fresh?** Yes — each run fetches the current published record, so CVSS re-scores are reflected.

**Can I schedule it?** Yes — use Apify Schedules to re-enrich a watched CVE set daily.

**Can I integrate it into my own app?** Yes — call it via the Apify API and pull results directly into your pipeline.

# Actor input Schema

## `cves` (type: `array`):

List of cve ids to process. Example: \['CVE-2021-44228', 'CVE-2024-3094']

## `maxConcurrent` (type: `integer`):

Higher = faster but uses more API credits in parallel.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "cves": [
    "CVE-2021-44228",
    "CVE-2024-3094"
  ],
  "maxConcurrent": 5
}
```

# Actor output Schema

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "cves": [
        "CVE-2021-44228",
        "CVE-2024-3094"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("gocreative.ai/cve-bulk-lookup").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "cves": [
        "CVE-2021-44228",
        "CVE-2024-3094",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("gocreative.ai/cve-bulk-lookup").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "cves": [
    "CVE-2021-44228",
    "CVE-2024-3094"
  ]
}' |
apify call gocreative.ai/cve-bulk-lookup --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,gocreative.ai/cve-bulk-lookup"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
