About:
Flawz is a terminal user interface (TUI) designed for searching and browsing CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) data sourced from the NVD. It provides a fast, keyboard-driven interface to filter vulnerabilities by severity, CVSS score, and keywords, offering a privacy-focused alternative to web-based scanners.
Key Features:
  • Fuzzy search and filtering of CVEs
  • Detailed vulnerability view with CVSS metrics
  • Keyboard-driven terminal UI
  • Local data caching for offline access
  • Privacy-focused (no tracking)
Use Cases:
  • Security researchers analyzing vulnerability trends
  • Developers checking dependencies for known exploits
  • System administrators auditing exposed services
Alternatives:
  • cve-search – Flawz provides a modern TUI experience, whereas cve-search is primarily a command-line tool and Python library for backend integration.
  • Browser-based NVD search – Flawz offers a faster, distraction-free interface with local caching compared to the standard web interface.
