# Open Source Vulnerability Monitor (`silicon1235/open-source-vulnerability-monitor`) Actor OSV vulnerability monitor for public open-source package advisory changes, severity filters, and fix-aware alerts. - **URL**: https://apify.com/silicon1235/open-source-vulnerability-monitor.md - **Developed by:** [X L](https://apify.com/silicon1235) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Automation, Business - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Open Source Vulnerability Monitor Monitor public OSV vulnerability advisories for open-source packages and emit only meaningful new or modified advisory alerts. ### What it does - Checks package names across ecosystems such as npm, PyPI, Maven, Go, crates.io, NuGet, Packagist, RubyGems, and Debian. - Uses the public OSV API; no GitHub token or vendor account is required for the core workflow. - Provides public OSV package advisory monitoring only, using public OSV advisory data; it does not scan private repositories or read private dependency manifests. - Hydrates advisory details, severity, aliases, references, affected ranges, affected versions, fixed versions, published time, and modified time. - Carries the watched package version when provided, so alerts can show whether a specific deployed version is being checked. - Compares against prior snapshots to separate `new`, `modified`, and `unchanged` advisories. - Writes dataset rows plus `SUMMARY`, `ALERTS`, `SNAPSHOTS`, and a Markdown `REPORT`. - Adds commercial review fields such as `monetizationFit`, `paidEventCandidate`, `supportRisk`, and `suggestedPricingModel` for later PPE review. ### Good use cases - Security teams tracking vulnerable open-source dependencies. - Developer-platform teams watching critical packages in templates and SDKs. - Agencies monitoring dependency risk for multiple clients. - Compliance teams needing repeatable public-source advisory evidence. ### Monetization boundary First release should be free or usage-cost-only. Future PPE should charge only for completed `matched-vulnerability-advisory` events where an advisory is new or modified and meets the configured severity threshold. Rows include `fixAvailable` and `fixedVersions`, which makes the alert more actionable without claiming to replace a full SCA or remediation workflow. Do not charge for baseline unchanged rows, packages with no matching advisories, invalid inputs, API errors, or snapshot-only persistence. The commercial fields are advisory only. They do not enable PPE, billing, payout, rental pricing, or paid events. ### Example input ```json { "packages": [ { "ecosystem": "npm", "name": "lodash", "version": "4.17.20", "label": "lodash" }, { "ecosystem": "PyPI", "name": "django", "version": "3.2.0", "label": "Django" } ], "minimumSeverity": "MEDIUM", "snapshotKey": "OPEN_SOURCE_VULN_SNAPSHOT", "saveSnapshot": true } ```` ### Quick-Start Presets Copy one of these low-cost JSON inputs into the Apify input editor and replace the package list with the dependencies you actually ship: - `examples/presets/npm-production-risk-watch.json`: three common npm production dependencies, `HIGH` threshold, saved snapshots, and a small advisory cap. - `examples/presets/python-web-stack-watch.json`: three Python web-stack dependencies, `HIGH` threshold, saved snapshots, and a small advisory cap. - `examples/presets/cross-ecosystem-sbom-sample.json`: a compact npm/PyPI/Maven sample for teams that want to test cross-ecosystem SBOM-style monitoring before expanding the list. Each preset keeps the first run to 3 packages or fewer and enables `saveSnapshot` so scheduled runs can separate new or modified advisories from baseline rows. ### Local validation ```powershell npm install npm test npm run sample npx apify-cli validate-schema .actor/input_schema.json npm pack --dry-run --json ``` # Actor input Schema ## `packages` (type: `array`): Open-source packages to check in OSV. Use ecosystem values such as npm, PyPI, Maven, Go, crates.io, NuGet, Packagist, RubyGems, or Debian. ## `minimumSeverity` (type: `string`): Only create alerts at or above this severity when severity can be inferred. ## `previousSnapshots` (type: `array`): Optional snapshots from a prior run for change detection. ## `snapshotKey` (type: `string`): Optional key-value store record name used to load and save snapshots between runs. ## `saveSnapshot` (type: `boolean`): Save current advisory snapshots to the key-value store. ## `timeoutMs` (type: `integer`): Timeout for OSV HTTP requests. ## `maxAdvisoriesPerPackage` (type: `integer`): Maximum advisories emitted for each package after sorting by severity and modification time. ## Actor input object example ```json { "packages": [ { "ecosystem": "npm", "name": "lodash", "version": "4.17.20", "label": "lodash" }, { "ecosystem": "PyPI", "name": "django", "version": "3.2.0", "label": "Django" } ], "minimumSeverity": "MEDIUM", "snapshotKey": "OPEN_SOURCE_VULN_SNAPSHOT", "saveSnapshot": true, "timeoutMs": 20000, "maxAdvisoriesPerPackage": 25 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
