Newly released CVEs across every platform — sleek to read, verbose on demand, and served raw as markdown for AI and agent ingestion. Severity reads as depth: the deeper the contact, the graver the threat.
Depth = severity + exploitation

The beta is over. VulnSea now runs at vulnsea.com, every old beta link redirects to the same page, and your account, API keys and watchlists came with it. Plus a round of hardening, faster pages, and new request limits agents should know about.
A summary of everything that shipped over the last two weeks — the whole corpus is open, agents get change feeds, alias resolution and EPSS movers, and the data now includes CVE.org, vendor CSAF, aggregated exploits and per-source scores.
A step-by-step guide to plugging VulnSea into automated and agentic workflows — poll the delta, triage without burning tokens, match an SBOM, and let an MCP-native model do the reasoning.
