Version 2.0

Added

11th June 2025:

  • Added support for date filters (startDate and endDate) for search by Retrieve All Advisories Impacting a Specific version of Cisco Network Operating System.

5th April 2024:

  • The OpenVuln API did not support exact search functionality; instead, it retrieves advisories based on a broader 'like' search, which may include all related products. API behaviour has changed so when a user inputs a keyword, the API should first attempt to find advisories that “exactly matches” product name. If an exact result is found, the API will return these specific advisories. In case exact search find no results, the API should automatically switch to a broader search like the API use to.

22nd August 2023:

  • Retrieve Advisories Impacting a Specific version of Cisco Network Operating System endpoint, now returns SMU information available in the field "smu".
