CVE / CISA KEV Vulnerability Monitor with Make + Apify (NexGenData)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

A Make workflow that uses Apify. NexGenData has no official Make app β€” you run a public-data Apify actor inside Make through Make’s official Apify integration, on a schedule, with your own Apify token.

The problem: new vulnerabilities drop faster than teams can triage

Hundreds of CVEs publish weekly, but only a few matter to your stack β€” the ones affecting your vendors, especially anything on CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) list or with a high EPSS exploit-probability. Watching feeds by hand is noisy and slow. A scheduled Make scenario filters to what’s relevant and alerts your team in Slack the moment it lands.

Who this is for

Security, IT, and platform/dev teams who want vendor- and product-specific vulnerability alerts without monitoring raw feeds.

The Make workflow

  1. Schedule trigger β€” run a few times a day.
  2. Run an Actor β€” Apify “Run an Actor” β†’ CVE Vulnerability Monitor (NVD + CISA KEV + EPSS), with your vendors/products in the Input JSON.
  3. Get Dataset Items β€” pull CVE ID, CVSS, CISA KEV flag, EPSS, summary.
  4. Filter / dedupe β€” keep only KEV = true OR CVSS β‰₯ 9 (your threshold); drop CVEs already seen.
  5. Send to destination β€” Slack alert, email, Google Sheets log, or a webhook into your ticketing tool.

Illustrative sample.

Run it on a schedule

Scheduled runs give your team a tuned vulnerability feed: only CVEs that hit your vendors and cross your severity/KEV threshold reach Slack β€” deduped, so no repeat noise.

FAQ

What sources does it use? The actor combines NVD (CVE data), CISA KEV (known-exploited list), and EPSS (exploit-probability scoring).

How do I cut the noise? Filter on KEV = true or a CVSS/EPSS threshold, and dedupe by CVE ID so each alert fires once.

Is this an official Make app? No β€” it’s a Make workflow using Make’s official Apify integration with your own Apify token.
