cve-search is a tool-set that imports CVE and CPE data into a local MongoDB to enable fast, private searching of known software vulnerabilities. It includes a web interface, CLI query tools, and a web API, avoiding direct public lookups to NVD.

Use cases

search for known vulnerabilities in a product locally
query CVEs by vendor and product without hitting public NVD
run a private CVE database with a web API
check if a software version is affected by CVEs
import and index NVD vulnerability data into MongoDB
look up CPE names and vulnerability details offline

When to choose

you need fast, private CVE lookups without leaking sensitive queries to public databases
you want a self-hosted vulnerability database with API and web UI
you process or correlate CVE data programmatically at scale

When to avoid

you only need occasional CVE lookups and can use a public API directly
you don't want to operate MongoDB and an import pipeline
you need a full vulnerability management or scanning platform rather than a lookup tool
