The GitLab Advisory Database serves as a repository for security advisories related to software dependencies. It is updated on an hourly basis with the latest security advisories.
The database is an essential component of both Dependency Scanning and Container Scanning.
A free and open-source version of the GitLab Advisory Database is also available as GitLab Advisory Database (Open Source Edition). However, there is a 30-day delay in updates.
StandardizationIn our advisories, we adopt standardized practices to effectively communicate vulnerabilities and their impact.

).GitLab provides a free and open-source version of the database, the GitLab Advisory Database (Open Source Edition).
The open-source version is a time-delayed clone of the GitLab Advisory Database, MIT-licensed and contains all advisories from the GitLab Advisory Database that are older than 30 days or with the community-sync
flag.
GitLab Advisory Database Terms prohibit the use of data contained in the GitLab Advisory Database by third-party tools. Third-party integrators can use the MIT-licensed, time-delayed repository clone instead.
How the database can be usedAs an example, we highlight the use of the database as a source for an Advisory Ingestion process as part of Continuous Vulnerability Scans.
