Safety Vulnerability Database
Safety Vulnerability Database

The Most Comprehensive Vulnerability Intelligence Available

4x more vulnerabilities detected than public databases, with real-time monitoring and AI-powered analysis. Safety's proprietary vulnerability database powers all our security products, providing unmatched protection against known and emerging threats in the software supply chain.

Comprehensive Vulnerability Data

Real-Time Vulnerability Intelligence

Safety takes a fundamentally different approach to vulnerability data. Our systems continuously monitor millions of packages across Python repositories, detecting signals of vulnerabilities through direct package analysis, code repository monitoring, and automated security research. We combine AI-powered detection with expert verification to provide the most accurate and comprehensive vulnerability database available.

About Image

Public Vulnerability Databases Are No Longer Sufficient

As the number of published vulnerabilities increases, public databases like NVD, GHSA and OSV are falling behind. In 2024, over 20,000 vulnerabilities remained pending analysis while attackers continued to exploit them. Traditional security solutions dependent on these sources leave your systems exposed to thousands of known threats.

Vulnerability Scanning

Security Beyond Public Vulnerability Databases

Safety CLI leverages our proprietary security intelligence to detect 4x more vulnerabilities than public databases. Our cybersecurity team proactively monitors package releases and code changes, with AI-powered analysis detecting vulnerability signals that others miss.

Scanning at every stage of development

Safety delivers real-time vulnerability detection across your dependency tree, from local development environments all the way through CI/CD and into Production. Shift-Left and detecting security threats as early in the development lifecycle as possibel.

Expert-verified fixes and remediation steps

Safety's team of cybersecurity researchers monitor signals and changes in millions of open-source packages. We verify every fix to ensure our recommendations are accurate and include detailed technical advisories for every vulnerability.

Signal vs. Noise

CVSS is no longer enough.

Assessing risk based on severity data alone results in security noise, vulnerability fatigue, and distraction from the findings that truly matter.

Our Vulnerability Database extends beyond CVE severity data to include Reachability, Package Health and Exploitability.

This context reduces noise and enables teams to prioritize critical findings and eliminate vulnerability noise by up to 90%.

Secure your supply chain in 60 seconds.
No sales calls, no complex setup.
Just instant protection.
