VulnerableCode is a database of software package vulnerabilities with Web UI and API.
Why Use VulnerableCode?
VulnerableCode provides a Web UI and API to access a database of known software package vulnerabilities with comprehensive information from upstream and downstream public sources including packages affected by a vulnerability and packages that fix a vulnerability.
There is a public VulnerableCode database and the project also provides the tools to build your own instance of the database.
Getting Started
Instructions to get you up and running on your local machine are at Getting Started
The VulnerableCode documentation also provides:
prerequisites for installing the software.
an introduction to the user interface.
how to use the API.
tutorials for adding new pipelines to import and improve advisories.
extensive reference information about VulnerableCode data.
guidelines for contributing to code development.
Build and tests status
Benefits of VulnerableCode
VulnerableCode is a free and open database of open source software package vulnerabilities because open source software vulnerability data and tools should be free and open source themselves.
Vulnerability databases have been traditionally proprietary even though they are mostly about free and open source software.
Vulnerability databases also often contain a lot of lesser value data which means a lot of false positive signals that require extensive expert reviews.
Vulnerability databases are also mostly about vulnerabilities first and software packages second, making it difficult to find if and when a vulnerability applies to a piece of code. VulnerableCode’s focus is on software packages first where a Package URL (PURL) is a key and natural identifier for packages; this makes it easier to find a package and whether it is vulnerable.
PURLs were designed initially for ScanCode and VulnerableCode. PURL is now a standard for vulnerability management and package references.
The VulnerableCode tech stack is Python, Django, PostgreSQL, nginx and Docker and several libraries.
