CVE Security Feed Screensaver
The CVE Security Feed screensaver scrolls newly published software vulnerabilities as they're recorded, drawn key-less from the U.S. National Vulnerability Database. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the CVE Security Feed screensaver works
The saver queries the National Vulnerability Database's public API for recently published CVEs, with no key required.
Each entry scrolls through with its real CVE identifier and severity score.
Filter to high and critical severity only, or see the full real feed.
The feed refreshes on a schedule to track real newly disclosed vulnerabilities.
A worked example
You might see a real CVE for a web-framework flaw scroll past with its severity score — genuine vulnerability disclosure data, the same feed security teams monitor.
Settings & tips
- Minimum severity filters out lower-severity entries.
- Accent recolours the CVE identifiers.
- This tracks software vulnerabilities — distinct from the site's Cyber Threat Map, which tracks active botnet infrastructure.
Frequently asked questions
- Is a key needed?
- No — the NVD's public API allows free, key-less access for light use.
- How is this different from Cyber Threat Map?
- Cyber Threat Map tracks live botnet command-and-control IPs; this tracks newly disclosed software vulnerabilities — a different security topic entirely.
- Is this official?
- Yes — the National Vulnerability Database is the U.S. government's official CVE repository.
- Is it free?
- Yes — free, no download, in your browser.
