## Pricing

$2.00 / 1,000 cve extracteds

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?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## NVD CVE Tracker — by Vendor, Product, Severity

Pull newly-published or newly-modified CVEs from **NIST NVD**. Filter by vendor/product (CPE 2.3), severity, CWE, or keyword. One clean row per CVE — id, description, CVSS v3 score & vector, CWEs, affected CPEs, references, NVD URL.

Built **for cron**: pass `sinceDays: 1` for a daily AppSec watchlist of your tech stack.

### Inputs

```json
{
  "keywords": ["openssl", "cisco asa"],
  "cpeFilters": ["cpe:2.3:a:apache:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],
  "severityFilters": ["HIGH", "CRITICAL"],
  "sinceDays": 7,
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 200
}
````

| input | default | notes |
|---|---|---|
| `keywords` | — | Free-text searches over CVE descriptions. Each is a separate query. |
| `cpeFilters` | — | CPE 2.3 match strings (wildcards allowed). Each is a separate query. |
| `severityFilters` | all | Limit to `LOW`, `MEDIUM`, `HIGH`, `CRITICAL` (CVSS v3). |
| `cweId` | — | Optional CWE filter (e.g. `CWE-89`). |
| `sinceDays` | `7` | `lastModified >= now - sinceDays`. NVD max window is 120 days. |
| `maxResultsPerQuery` | `200` | Cap per keyword/CPE query. NVD page size up to 2000. |
| `apiKey` | — | Optional NVD API key — boosts rate from 5/30s to 50/30s. |

### Output

One row per CVE (deduplicated across keyword/CPE queries):

| field | example |
|---|---|
| cveId | `CVE-2026-12345` |
| published | `2026-05-30T14:00:00.000` |
| lastModified | `2026-06-01T09:12:33.140` |
| vulnStatus | `Analyzed`, `Modified`, `Awaiting Analysis` |
| description | `In Apache HTTP Server <2.4.62, ...` |
| cvssV3Version | `3.1` |
| cvssV3BaseScore | `9.1` |
| cvssV3Severity | `CRITICAL` |
| cvssV3VectorString | `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H` |
| exploitabilityScore | `3.9` |
| impactScore | `5.9` |
| cwes | `["CWE-119", "CWE-787"]` |
| affectedCpes | `["cpe:2.3:a:apache:http_server:2.4.61:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"]` |
| references | `["https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20260530.txt", ...]` |
| nvdUrl | `https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-12345` |
| queryOrigin | `kw=openssl sev=CRITICAL` |

### Daily cron pattern

```json
{
  "cpeFilters": [
    "cpe:2.3:a:apache:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*",
    "cpe:2.3:a:nginx:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*",
    "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"
  ],
  "severityFilters": ["HIGH", "CRITICAL"],
  "sinceDays": 1
}
```

### Real-world questions this answers

- **AppSec triage.** Daily firehose of HIGH+CRITICAL CVEs affecting our stack.
- **Vendor watch.** Anything new from Cisco / Microsoft / Red Hat?
- **Supply-chain audit.** New CVEs in a CPE-matched component.
- **Vulnerability research.** Filter by CWE for class-specific datasets.

### What it doesn't do

- No EPSS / KEV enrichment yet (those are separate FIRST.org / CISA feeds; planned).
- No vendor advisory PDFs — just NVD-stored references.
- No exploit-availability flag (NVD doesn't expose `exploit-db` mapping reliably).

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Free-text searches over CVE descriptions. Each keyword is a separate query — results union'd. Example: \["openssl", "cisco asa"]. Leave empty if filtering by CPE only.

## `cpeFilters` (type: `array`):

Match CVEs against CPE 2.3 strings (with wildcards). Example: \["cpe:2.3:a:apache:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "cpe:2.3:o:cisco:ios:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:\*"]. Each is a separate query.

## `severityFilters` (type: `array`):

Limit to CVEs with CVSS v3 severity in this set. Empty = all.

## `cweId` (type: `string`):

Optional CWE filter, e.g. "CWE-89" for SQL injection. Single value.

## `sinceDays` (type: `integer`):

Pull CVEs whose lastModified date is in the last N days (NVD treats new publications + score revisions equivalently). Max NVD window per request is 120 days.

## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap per query. NVD page size is 2000.

## `apiKey` (type: `string`):

Optional NVD API key from nvd.nist.gov/developers/request-an-api-key. Without it, NVD throttles at 5 req/30s; with it, 50 req/30s. Leave blank if you don't have one.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [],
  "cpeFilters": [],
  "severityFilters": [],
  "cweId": "",
  "sinceDays": 7,
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 200
}
```

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("v0iddo/nvd-cve-tracker").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);
});

run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("v0iddo/nvd-cve-tracker").call(run_input=run_input)

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