12:14 PM - NVD feed

Apparently, they created a REST API 2 years ago and set a date for deprecating the feed in the past.

This is a bit of a problem for the security advisory app.  The design was always pretty terrible but a workaround for the nvd json feed being in YEARS.  The firewall seems to block a lot of the requests and they don't give useful error messges or even a proper error code when it doesn't work.
