Supply chain security

Today, we’re adding a proxy on top of the GitHub Advisory Database that speaks the `npm audit` protocol. This means that every version of the npm CLI that supports security audits is now talking directly to the GitHub Advisory Database.

We’re excited to announce that the GitHub Advisory Database now includes curated security advisories on the Rust ecosystem!

Beginning October 4, 2021, all connections to npm websites and the npm registry, including for package installation, must use TLS 1.2 or higher.

GitHub’s supply chain security features are now available for Go modules, which will help the Go community discover, report, and prevent security vulnerabilities.

GitHub secret scanning has been securing our users’ code by scanning for and revoking secrets since 2015. Recently, we’ve focused on scanning for package registry credentials as well—a significant and…

Dependabot’s mission is to keep all of your dependencies free of vulnerabilities and up-to-date, but until now, it hasn’t been able to update all of your private dependencies. That meant…

Supply chain attacks are a reality in modern software development. Thankfully, you can reduce the attack surface by taking precautions and being thoughtful about how you manage your dependencies. We…

Dependency review allows you to easily understand your dependencies before you introduce them to your environment. As part of a pull request, you can see what dependencies you’re introducing, changing, or removing, and information about their vulnerabilities, age, usage, and license.

The most important way to protect supply chain threats? Scan code for security vulnerabilities, learn how to find vulnerabilities in code, and quickly patch them with dynamic code analysis tools.

Keep dependencies up to date, to make sure you can quickly apply a patch when it really matters – when there’s a critical security vulnerability.

GitHub dependency insights helps both developers and security teams manage their open source security with confidence—automatically compiling relevant CVE information, aiding in OSS license compliance, and helping them better understand their OSS dependency versions.

If you use Python, we can now alert you whenever you depend on vulnerable packages.

A critical Git security vulnerability has been announced today, affecting all versions of the official Git client and all related software that interacts with Git repositories, including GitHub for Windows…
