Product Launch: Clariseque — Making CVEs Relevant to Your Tech Stack

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.
