Introduction
This repo is a vulnerability database and package search for sources such as OSV, NVD, GitHub, and NPM. Vulnerability data are downloaded from the sources and stored in a custom file based storage with indexes to allow offline access and quick searches.
Installation
pip install appthreat-vulnerability-db
Usage
This package is ideal as a library for managing vulnerabilities. This is used by dep-scan, a free open-source dependency audit tool. However, there is a limited cli capability available with few features to test this tool directly.
Cache vulnerability data

vdb --cache
Cache from just OSV
vdb --cache --only-osv
It is possible to customise the cache behaviour by increasing the historic data period to cache by setting the following environment variables.
- NVD_START_YEAR - Default: 2016. Supports upto 2002
- GITHUB_PAGE_COUNT - Default: 5. Supports upto 20
Periodic sync
To periodically sync the latest vulnerabilities and update the database cache.
