OSV is a free, open-source database and toolset that helps you find and manage security vulnerabilities in open source software you use. It collects vulnerability data from many sources, including official advisories and automated scans, and presents it in a clear, machine-readable format. You can use the OSV scanner tool to automatically check your software dependencies for known security issues, helping you fix them quickly. This improves your software’s security by focusing on real risks and making vulnerability management easier and more efficient. OSV also offers APIs and integrates with other tools for automation and alerts.
