MainWP NVD API

This is a free API provided by the US Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

NIST NVD is the US government's repository of standards-based vulnerability management data represented using the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP).This data enables automation of vulnerability management, security measurement and compliance.NVD includes a database of security checklist references, security-related software defects, misconfigurations, product names, and impact metrics.

WPVulnDB-API

The WPScan Vulnerability Database is an online browsable version of the WPScan data files used to detect known WordPress core, plugin, and theme vulnerabilities.Since the release of WPScan, this database has been compiled by the WPScan team and various other contributors. BruCON's 5by5 project funded the development of the WPScan vulnerability database.
