About:
osv-scanner scans your project's dependencies against the Open Source Vulnerabilities (OSV) database to identify known security issues. It supports multiple lock file formats and SBOMs, providing a clear report of vulnerabilities that affect your specific environment. This tool helps developers proactively secure their software supply chain by integrating vulnerability checks into the development workflow.

- Uses the official OSV database for accurate, upstream vulnerability data
- Provides actionable remediation advice for found vulnerabilities
- Can be run locally or as part of a CI/CD pipeline
|
Use Cases:
