The GitHub Advisory Database now ingests malware advisories from the OpenSSF malicious-packages<\/a> repository, significantly expanding the breadth of malware data available to you through Dependabot alerts.<\/p>\n

What changed<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

With this update, advisories from the OpenSSF malicious-packages project are automatically ingested into the GitHub Advisory Database<\/a>, giving you broader coverage across ecosystems including npm, PyPI, and more. You can view these using the type:malware<\/code> filter.<\/p>\n

If you have malware alerting enabled<\/a>, Dependabot will now match your dependencies against this expanded set of malware advisories and alert you when a match is found.<\/p>\n

What this means for you<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

You get broader ecosystem coverage. Malware advisories now cover additional ecosystems beyond npm, powered by the OpenSSF community’s malicious-packages data.<\/p>\n

If you already have malware alerting enabled, you will automatically benefit from the expanded coverage without any additional configuration needed. New advisories will generate alerts as they are published.<\/p>\n

Getting started<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

If you haven’t enabled malware alerting yet, navigate to your repository or organization Settings → Advanced security → Dependabot<\/strong> and enable Malware alerts<\/strong> under the Dependabot alerts section.<\/p>\n

You can browse malware advisories directly at github.com\/advisories<\/a>.<\/p>\n
