# Vulnerability Intelligence

Vulnerability Intelligence is a real-time feed that contains vulnerability data and threat intelligence from a variety of certified upstream sources. This feed continuously pulls data from known vulnerability databases, official vendor feeds and commercial providers to provide the most accurate vulnerability detection results.

In addition to the information collected from official feeds, Vulnerability Intelligence is enriched with data curated by a dedicated research team. Our security researchers monitor cloud and open-source projects to identify security issues through automated and manual means. As a result, we can detect new vulnerabilities that were only recently disclosed, and even vulnerabilities that were quietly patched.

Vulnerability Intelligence provides comprehensive, actionable information including the following:

* CVE metadata, such as description, impact, severity, and CVSS v2/3/4 Scores
* CPE and product information, such as affected packages, versions, and OS
* Exploit intelligence, such as Exploit Availability, maturity, exploitability and EPSS scores
* Links to vendor advisories

## How to view Vulnerability Intelligence

1. Navigate to **Home > Modules > Vulnerability & Exposure Management > Vulnerability Intelligence**.
2. (Optional) Click a row in the **Vulnerability Intelligence** table to view detailed information about the vulnerability.

   The details page has an **Overview** tab, which provides information about the vulnerability and an **Affected Software** tab, which shows information about all the software packages impacted by the vulnerability.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/vulnerability-management/vulnerability-intelligence.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
