+      The :term:`NVD_DB_VERSION` variable allows choosing the CVE feed when
+      using the :ref:`ref-classes-cve-check` class. It can be one of:
+

+      -  ``FKIE``: the `FKIE-CAD <https://github.com/fkie-cad/nvd-json-data-feeds>`__
+         feed reconstruction
+      -  ``NVD1``: the NVD JSON feed (deprecated)
+
+      In case of a malformed feed name, the ``NVD2`` feed is selected and an
+      error is printed.
