Securing the world's software, together
Securing the world's software, together
GitHub Security Lab’s mission is to inspire and enable the community to secure the open source software we all depend on.
What we do
Our researchers find and report new vulnerabilities in the open source projects everyone relies on.
We share our research through proof-of-concepts, articles, tutorials, conferences and community events.
We scale the security research of our community by performing Variants Analysis for open source projects with CodeQL. Visit our CodeQL Wall of Fame.
We curate a database of CVEs and security advisories to notify open source developers and maintainers.
Our principles
Make securing open source easy for developers and maintainers.
Build a community of security researchers to serve the global open source community.
