  https://pypi.org/pypi/openVulnQuery/json (registry metadata, fetched 2026-08-19)
  and https://github.com/CiscoPSIRT/openVulnQuery — the client Cisco links from
  the openVuln API README at https://github.com/CiscoPSIRT/openVulnAPI.
description: >-
  Cisco ships exactly one client library for the PSIRT openVuln API: openVulnQuery,
  a Python module + CLI published from Cisco's own CiscoPSIRT GitHub organization.
  No JavaScript, Ruby, Go, Java, PHP, .NET or Rust package exists on any registry —
  the openVulnAPI repo carries hand-written example_code/ for Go, JavaScript, PHP
  and Ruby (Swagger-generated stubs, never published to a registry), which is a
  sample-code surface, not a distributed SDK.
packages:
  - language: python
    registry: pypi
    name: OpenVulnQuery
    url: https://pypi.org/project/OpenVulnQuery/
    source: https://github.com/CiscoPSIRT/openVulnQuery
    install: pip3 install openVulnQuery

    license: MIT
    note: >-
      Published in Cisco's own CiscoPSIRT GitHub org and linked from Cisco's API
      README, so first-party by distribution — but Cisco labels it
      "Community-Supported" in that README and does not promise support. DECAY
      SIGNAL: the last PyPI release is 1.34 (2023-08-06), while the source repo was
      still being pushed to on 2025-11-09 — over two years of committed work that
      has never reached the registry a consumer installs from. The repo README
      still tells users to pin "the latest version (1.31)".

    note: >-
      Same distribution — PyPI normalises the name, so openVulnQuery and
      OpenVulnQuery resolve to one project. Recorded once here for the
      case-sensitive install string Cisco publishes (pip3 install openVulnQuery).
