OSV schema
All advisories in this database use the OpenSSF OSV format, which was developed in collaboration with open source communities.
The OSV schema provides a human and machine readable data format to describe vulnerabilities in a way that precisely maps to open source package versions or commit hashes.

}Data sources
This infrastructure serves as an aggregator of vulnerability databases that have adopted the OSV schema, including GitHub Security Advisories, PyPA, RustSec, and Global Security Database, and more.
Use the API
An easy-to-use API is available to query for all known vulnerabilities by either a commit hash, or a package version.
Query by commit hash
curl -d \
'{"commit": "6879efc2c1596d11a6a6ad296f80063b558d5e0f"}' \
"https://api.osv.dev/v1/query"
Query by version number
curl -d \
'{"version": "2.4.1",
"package": {"name": "jinja2", "ecosystem": "PyPI"}}' \
"https://api.osv.dev/v1/query"
Vulnerability Scanner
Install OSV‑Scanner
go install github.com/google/osv-scanner/cmd/osv-scanner@v1
Scan SBOM or Lockfiles
osv-scanner --sbom=cycloned-or-spdx-sbom.json
osv-scanner --lockfile=package-lock.json
Scan directory recursively
osv-scanner -r path/to/your/project
Remediation Tools
Guided Remediation (basic)
osv-scanner fix --non-interactive --strategy=in-place -L path/to/package-lock.json
osv-scanner fix --non-interactive --strategy=relock -M path/to/package.json -L path/to/package-lock.json
Guided Remediation (interactive)
osv-scanner fix -M path/to/package.json -L path/to/package-lock.json
GitHub Workflows
OSV-Scanner also provides reusable GitHub workflows that can be easily integrated into CI/CD pipelines to provide continuous vulnerability scanning coverage. This can scan newly added dependencies in pull requests for introduced vulnerabilities, as well as perform regular vulnerability scans for the entire project.
