GitHub Advisory Database

The GitHub Advisory Database is a new experience that allows you to browse or search for the vulnerabilities that GitHub knows about. The database contains all curated CVEs and security advisories which have been mapped to a package tracked by the GitHub dependency graph. CVE numbers will also automatically be linked from within issues and pull requests back to the Advisory Database (e.g. typing CVE-2019-13611 will automatically link to this entry in the database).

Did you know? This data can also be accessed programmatically using the SecurityAdvisory API. Try the following query in our GraphQL Explorer:

query {
  securityAdvisories(orderBy: {field: PUBLISHED_AT, direction: DESC}, first: 2) {
    nodes {
      description
      ghsaId
      summary
      publishedAt
    }
  }
}

query {
  securityAdvisories(orderBy: {field: PUBLISHED_AT, direction: DESC}, first: 2) {
    nodes {
      description
      ghsaId
      summary
      publishedAt
    }
  }
}
