Abstract
VulnerableCode is a free and open source database of vulnerabilities and the FOSS packages they impact. It is made by the FOSS community to improve the security of the open source software ecosystem. It’s design solves various pre-existing problems like licensing, data complexity and usability. Using software with known vulnerabilities is one of OWASP’s Top 10 security vulnerabilities . This is increasingly becoming more important as more and more software is built on top of existing free and open source software. From the perspective of software composition analysis, it then becomes increasingly important to know about vulnerable components being used. Naturally a database of mappings of packages and their vulnerabilities is required. Below are some of the problems with existing solutions and how VulnerableCode solves these.
