Dear Community,
This is my first product launch, and I wanted to start by sharing a project that I created to solve a common problem that I faced as a developer.
The Problem
Security advisories and CVEs are everywhere. While most are marked Critical, in reality, a large number of them simply do not apply to the stack that is being used. It is a time-consuming and frustrating process to have to research whether a particular CVE applies to your situation.
As a full-stack developer, I wanted to find a better way to efficiently answer one question:
“Does this CVE apply to my setup, and what do I do about it?”
What I Built
Clariseque is a prototype AI vulnerability assistant that was created to help cut through the informational noise and provide better decision-making support.
Operational Overview:
- You specify your tech stack once (Next.js, PostgreSQL, Docker, and so on)
- You ask your questions in natural language—paste a CVE number, a code snippet, or a security question
- Clariseque delivers:
- Whether the problem actually applies to your tech stack
- Which parts of the system are affected
- Specific, actionable steps to remediate
The goal is not to replace security tools but to help developers move from alerting to informed decisions faster.
Target Audience
- Primary: Full-stack developers
- Secondary: Application security (AppSec) professionals and security-focused engineers
If you ever ignored a CVE because you were unsure of its relevance, this tool is for you.
Current Status
- Currently live and functional
- Very early / initial launch
- Currently free to use
The launch is kept small to learn from real-world usage and feedback before scaling further.
Launch and Feedback
I recently gave a talk on Clariseque at Peerlist to gather early feedback, and now I'd like to extend the invitation to the DEV community as well.
If you give the tool a try, I'd be very grateful for feedback on:
- Would this be something you'd use on a regular basis?
- What is unclear or not included?
- What features would make it truly valuable to your workflows?

Thanks for taking the time to read, and I look forward to any feedback.
