    You can follow the two linked issues here: https://github.com/google/osv-scanner/issues/82 for updates!

  • packj

    Packj stops :zap: Solarwinds-, ESLint-, and PyTorch-like attacks by flagging malicious/vulnerable open-source dependencies ("weak links") in your software supply-chain

  • Great to see a developer-friendly tool around OSV! Packj [1] uses OSV APIs to report vulnerable PyPI/NPM/Rubygems packages. Disclaimer: I built it.

    1. https://github.com/ossillate-inc/packj flags malicious/risky packages.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • apko

    Build OCI images from APK packages directly without Dockerfile

  • Depends exactly what you're trying to create it for. I advocate for doing it during the build process rather than as a step after.

    We open sourced a few tools that do it automatically for containers:

    https://github.com/chainguard-dev/apko

  • melange

    build APKs from source code (by chainguard-dev)

  • trivy

    Find vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, SBOM in containers, Kubernetes, code repositories, clouds and more

  • I like trivy[1] a lot. Nice to see more alternatives like this.

  • maloss

    Towards Measuring Supply Chain Attacks on Package Managers for Interpreted Languages

  • We've an open-source project that does this: https://github.com/osssanitizer/maloss I'm working on creating a CLI/web interface for this. Happy to chat (email in profile).
