Google launches new open-source security scanning tool

Google has just launched a new tool called OSV-Scanner, a free open source tool it says gives developers easy access to vulnerability information relevant to their project.

In 2021, Google launched the OSV.dev service, a distributed open-source vulnerability database, enabling a variety of open-source ecosystems and vulnerability databases to publish and consume information in one machine-readable format.
