pro: Check if the system is affected by a specific vulnerability (and apply a fix if possible).
$ pro fix ${CVE-number}
try on your machine

The command "pro fix ${CVE-number}" is used to fix a security vulnerability in a software program or system.

"CVE" stands for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, which is a list of publicly known information security vulnerabilities and exposures. Each vulnerability is assigned a unique identification number known as the CVE number.

In the provided command, "${CVE-number}" is a placeholder for the specific CVE number that identifies the vulnerability that needs to be fixed. By replacing "${CVE-number}" with the actual CVE number (e.g., CVE-2021-12345), the command targets the specific vulnerability.

The "pro fix" part of the command implies that it is a command specific to a particular software program or tool. The exact functionality and usage can vary depending on the context and the software being used. It may trigger an automated fix process, download a patch, or perform any other action necessary to address the identified vulnerability.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
