Documentation

Comprehensive documentation is available here. API documentation is available here.

Data Dump

We have data dumps available from a GCS bucket at gs://osv-vulnerabilities. For more information check out our documentation.

Viewing the web UI

An instance of OSV's web UI is deployed at https://osv.dev.

Using the scanner

We provide a Go based tool that will scan your dependencies, and check them against the OSV database for known vulnerabilities via the OSV API.

Currently it is able to scan various lockfiles, debian docker containers, SPDX and CycloneDB SBOMs, and git repositories.

The scanner is located in its own repository.

This repository

This repository contains all the code for running https://osv.dev on GCP. This consists of:

You'll need to check out submodules as well for many local building steps to work:

root@kitploit:~
git submodule update --init --recursive

Contributing

Contributions are welcome!

Learn more about code, data, and documentation contributions. We also have a mailing list.

Do you have a question or a suggestion? Please open an issue.

Third party tools and integrations

There are also community tools that use OSV. Note that these are community built tools and as such are not supported or endorsed by the core OSV maintainers. You may wish to consult the OpenSSF's Concise Guide for Evaluating Open Source Software to determine suitability for your use. Some popular third party tools are:

  • Cortex XSOAR
  • dep-scan
  • Dependency-Track
  • GUAC
  • OSS Review Toolkit
  • pip-audit
  • Renovate
  • Trivy
