📋 Example Usage

CVE Scanning

# Scan a specific package
cc scan --pkg express --version 4.18.2 --ecosystem node

# Output:
# PACKAGE  VERSION  ECOSYSTEM  SEVERITY  LAYER  REASON
# express  4.18.2  node       LOW       CVE    CVE GHSA-qw6h-vgh9-j6wx: express vulnerable to XSS...

# Scan with JSON output
cc scan --pkg requests --version 2.28.1 --ecosystem python --format json
