Introducing “VulnCheck Insights”, the in-your-browser version of VulnCheck’s exploit intelligence. Instead of bouncing between tabs, you now get instant, current context the moment a CVE appears on your screen. We built it with the community in mind, making it easier to quickly see whether a vulnerability is being exploited without extra friction. Having the right information exactly where you need it feels magical. It delivers faster, smoother, and more authoritative vulnerability analysis while keeping you in your flow.

While that might sound like a throwback to the days of toolbars, pop-ups, and FarmVille, I think this is actually where the future’s headed. Performing A Google™ just isn’t what it used to be.

Here’s my workflow before:

• Google the CVE.
• Get the NVD link.
• Wait for the page to load.
• Stare at the page and realize…This tells me basically nothing.

Sure, I could ask one of the robots (ChatGPT, Claude, etc…), but they’ve been confidently wrong enough times that I don’t trust them when it really counts. What I want to know is straightforward: where is this CVE in the exploitation lifecycle? Do we know almost nothing, or is this thing actively fueling a botnet?

Why not just bring that answer right into the browser? Not just any answer either. The data behind VulnCheck Insights is comprehensive and timely, often surfacing exploitation intelligence weeks before it appears in places like NVD or even CISA’s KEV list. Not only are you keeping your workflow smooth, you are staying ahead of the curve with intelligence that outpaces the usual industry sources.

A Little Origin Story

This idea came together fast because our team saw the same pain point. Everywhere you look online, articles, advisories, and GitHub repos, CVEs are scattered like glitter. Unless you’re blessed with a photographic memory (or a non-dyslexic brain that can keep CVE-2025-5335 straight from CVE-2025-5353), you end up searching, clicking, waiting, and frustrated.

One of our engineers realized this was a quick win for VulnCheck data. Why force people into the “open tab → search → parse → repeat” loop when the answer could just show up while you’re reading? 

Gain Intelligence without Leaving the Page

Here’s the rundown:

• You install the extension from the Chrome Web Store.
• You insert your VulnCheck token into the settings.
• Then you browse like normal.

From there, the extension quietly highlights things like:

• CVEs → you’ll see VulnCheck’s exploitation intel right there.
• CPEs & PURLs → you’ll see how many CVEs are tied to them.

Hover, click, done. You don’t leave the page, you don’t lose your train of thought, you just get the intel you actually need.

Because speed matters.

When your CISO pings you a Hacker News link and asks about CVE-2025-43068, you don’t want to stall for half a day. You want to look like the wizard who already knows the answer and now you can.

Also, it keeps VulnCheck data in your natural workflow instead of buried in yet another tab (though, please, keep us open in a tab anyways! ;) ).

Where To Grab It

👉 Install VulnCheck Insights on Chrome [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vulncheck-insights/ialmnppnmajmaeibknkgfihffkobnogp]

👉 Check out the docs [https://docs.vulncheck.com/tools/insights]

And if you send us feedback, we’ll look at other browsers too. (Except Internet Explorer. May it rest in peace.)

The Short Version

We got tired of Googling CVEs and getting half-baked answers. We built VulnCheck Insights, a Chrome extension that puts vulnerability and exploitation intelligence right into the browser, right where you need it.

Install it. Use it. Show off to your co-workers when you answer their CVE question in minutes instead of hours.

About VulnCheck

VulnCheck is helping organizations not just to solve the vulnerability prioritization challenge - we’re working to help equip any product manager, CSIRT/PSIRT or SecOps team and Threat Hunting team to get faster and more accurate with infinite efficiency using VulnCheck solutions.

We knew that we needed better data, faster across the board, in our industry. So that’s what we deliver to the market. We’re going to continue to deliver key insights on vulnerability management, exploitation and major trends we can extrapolate from our dataset to continuously support practitioners.
