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 it's own repository.

This repository

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

• API server (gcp/api)
• Web interface (gcp/appengine)
• Workers for bisection and impact analysis (docker/worker)

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

git submodule update --init --recursive

Contributing
