Use OSV-Scanner to find existing vulnerabilities affecting your
project's dependencies.

OSV-Scanner provides an officially supported frontend to the OSV
database that connects a project's list of dependencies with the
vulnerabilities that affect them. Since the OSV.dev database is
open source and distributed, it has several benefits in comparison
with closed source advisory databases and scanners:

- Each advisory comes from an open and authoritative source
- Anyone can suggest improvements to advisories, resulting in a
very high quality database
- The OSV format unambiguously stores information about affected
versions in a machine-readable format that precisely maps onto a
developer's list of packages

The above all results in fewer, more actionable vulnerability
notifications, which reduces the time needed to resolve them.
