Definition

Nuclei is an open-source, template-based vulnerability scanner developed by ProjectDiscovery that enables rapid scanning for CVEs, misconfigurations, and exposed services. Its YAML-based template format allows the community to publish thousands of detection templates covering web vulnerabilities, network services, and cloud misconfigurations.

Nuclei's speed and extensibility make it popular for bug bounty hunters, penetration testers, and continuous attack surface monitoring.
