bulletin_by_id
🚨 PRIMARY TOOL FOR KNOWN IDs 🚨 Fetch a bulletin by CVE or Vulners ID. Returns a COMPACT triage-card summary by default -- id, title, CVSS3, EPSS, CVE list, and a compact exploitation/AI signal -- NOT the full record. Pass fields=[...] to widen (e.g. add 'description', 'cvss', 'cvss2', 'affectedSoftware') or references=True for the linked-bulletin graph; requesting everything can be very large. Supports single ID or list of IDs. When list is provided, references are automatically set to False. NEVER use search_lucene for known IDs.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Yes | Single CVE ID, Vulners ID, or bulletin ID to fetch, or a list of IDs. Supports CVE identifiers (CVE-2024-21762), vendor-specific IDs (RHSA-2024:1234), or Vulners internal IDs. When a list is provided, references are always False regardless of the `references` argument. | |
| fields | No | Override the default COMPACT field projection to widen the response. Pass ['*'] to request every field Vulners has for the bulletin (can be very large for popular CVEs). Useful individual fields to add: 'description' (full prose description, dropped from the default), 'cvss'/'cvss2' (legacy score variants; the default already includes 'cvss3'), 'affectedSoftware'/'cnaAffected' (affected systems), 'enchantments' (the FULL AI/exploitation blob, including the large cross-reference and social-mention indexes the default omits). If omitted, the lean default is used: id, title, type, href, published, modified, bulletinFamily, cvss3, epss, cvelist, enchantments.exploitation, enchantments.score, enchantments.vulnersScore, enchantments.tags, enchantments.short_description. | |
| references | No | Include the full reference graph (linked advisories, patches, related bulletins) for a SINGLE-ID lookup. Defaults to False: the compact default projection already covers the essentials (CVSS3, EPSS, exploitation signal, CVE list). Set True only when you need the reference graph and can accept a much larger response -- for heavily-referenced CVEs this can inflate the payload from a few KiB to 100+ MiB. Ignored (always False) when `id` is a list. |
