CVE Explainer & POC Fetcher - AI Agent + Guide

You search the same CVE in four different places. Every time.

You get a CVE ID — from a scanner, a Slack alert, a vendor advisory, whatever. Then the tab-hopping starts.

NVD for the base score. CISA KEV to see if it's actively exploited. EPSS to get a sense of real-world probability. GitHub or exploit-db to check if a PoC is already public. Then you write up a summary and paste it into a ticket or an email.

That's 20–30 minutes per CVE. On a busy week, that adds up to hours of lookup work that produces no new intelligence — just aggregated data you could have automated.

This is the workflow that does it for you.

CVE Enrichment Automation n8n — What It Does

The CVE Explainer & POC Fetcher is a ready-to-import n8n workflow that takes a CVE ID — via webhook or chat — and returns a fully enriched summary in under 60 seconds. It runs four parallel data fetches, passes everything to a local AI agent, and delivers the result via email or webhook.

No subscriptions to enrichment platforms. No per-lookup fees. Your infrastructure, your data.

What's Included

• Webhook + Chat Trigger inputs — Send a CVE ID from your SIEM, a Slack command, a form, or type it directly into the n8n chat interface
• Input Validator node — Catches malformed CVE IDs before they waste API calls
• 4 parallel enrichment fetchers — Simultaneously queries PoC availability, CISA KEV status, EPSS exploit probability score, and full CVE detail data
• CVE Explainer Agent — AI Model summarizes all four data sources into a plain-language explanation with severity context and recommended action
• Email Formatter + Gmail sender — Outputs a structured email summary ready for your team's inbox or ticketing integration
• Webhook response node — Returns the enriched result as JSON for API-first integrations
• Slack output node (pre-built, deactivated) — One toggle to enable Slack notifications when you're ready
• Implementation Guide

Who This Is For

• Vulnerability management engineers who process 10+ CVEs per week and want to cut lookup time without adding tools
• SOC analysts who need quick PoC-awareness when triage decisions are time-sensitive
• MSSPs managing multiple client environments who need a repeatable, auditable enrichment pipeline
• n8n users who already have the stack and just need the workflow

Authority Signal

This workflow was built out of real operational need — the same enrichment steps that most analysts do manually, encoded into a reproducible flow. The Ollama integration means your CVE descriptions never leave your environment. The parallel fetcher design keeps total enrichment time under a minute even when two or three of the external APIs respond slowly.

Guarantee

Gumroad offers a 30-day refund policy. If the workflow doesn't import cleanly or the nodes don't work as described, reach out and I'll fix it or refund it — no questions.
