Features & Capabilities

Ever wanted to quickly check the details of a CVE without having to copy and paste it into a search engine?

This browser extension finds references to CVEs in web pages and adds a small icon next to them. Hovering over the icon will display a tooltip with the CVE details, which are fetched from the MITRE API. It also provides a link directly to the NVD CVE details page.

On phones, the tooltip is displayed when the CVE is tapped.

Is CVE Tooltip Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

CVE Tooltip requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

CVE Tooltip is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
