What it does

OSV-Scanner checks dependencies using OSV vulnerability data and supports scanning workflows for repositories and associated input formats that describe the packages present in a project’s maintained source or software inventory.

When to use it

For known package vulnerabilities, inspect supported formats and result explanations before relating package versions to the application’s actual reachable code paths.
