.. _ref-classes-cve-check:
``cve-check.bbclass``
=====================
The ``cve-check`` class looks for known CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures) while building an image. This class is meant to be
inherited globally from a configuration file::
INHERIT += "cve-check"
You can also look for vulnerabilities in specific packages by passing
``-c cve_check`` to BitBake. You will find details in the
":ref:`dev-manual/common-tasks:checking for vulnerabilities`"
section in the Development Tasks Manual.
