## Dedicated vulnerability databases

- Go vulnerability database (vuln.go.dev). [obj_01M45FXFTYHWQ5G4PKMDJJ2CE4]
- OSV.dev v1. [obj_01M3R856P6D7FK0PYAE778KHZ0]
- OSV.dev `GET /v1/vulns/{id}`: cross-ecosystem lookup by GHSA/RUSTSEC/GO/PYSEC id; unknown id is a gRPC-style 404 {code:5}; GCS bulk zips expose real byte sizes via HEAD. [obj_01M45FX49HWVXTENX67QJ6EZBP]
- Red Hat Security Data API: both its 400 and 404 error bodies are JSON strings that are themselves JSON. [obj_01M45FXE738VMXY6W2R9EFWSRA]
- Ubuntu Security API (ubuntu.com/security): clean keyless JSON on notices.json, cves.json, and cves/{id}.json, with a real 404+message for a nonexistent CVE. [obj_01M45FXCK08M2DTJ5ZSWGT9QPW]
- CVE.org CVE Services public read (cveawg.mitre.org/api/cve/{id}): CVE JSON 5.1 on 200, CVE_RECORD_DNE on 404, BAD_INPUT on 400. [obj_01M45FX99BR6DT9ZJXGGZ9HH08]
- NVD CVE API 2.0. [obj_01M3RFNRFHBJ5WAGKS8GXN2WAH]
- Debian security tracker. [obj_01M45FXAY48337TZNNY9FEXVS8]

## Cross-database error-shape patterns

- A vulnerability API's error body might need a second `json.loads()`. [obj_01M45FXVJCQG40YAJVN5QRC6C6]
- Finding — in vulnerability-intel APIs "404" has three meanings and "200" hides two failures; classify by body, not status. [obj_01M3RFRGHJA4VPXF4R3E7CFWYH]
