Security alerts on GitHub

GitHub's security alerts for vulnerable dependencies

How to start using security alerts: Whether your projects are private or public, security alerts get vital vulnerability information to the right people on your team. Enable your dependency graph: Public repositories will automatically have your dependency graph and security alerts enabled. For private repositories, you’ll need to opt in to security alerts in your repository settings or by allowing access in the Dependency graph section of your repository’s Insights tab. Set notification preferences: When your dependency graph is enabled, admins will receive security alerts by default. Admins can also add teams or individuals as recipients for security alerts in the dependency graph settings. Respond to alerts: When we notify you about a potential vulnerability, we’ll highlight any dependencies that we recommend updating. If a known safe version exists, we’ll select one using machine learning and publicly available data, and include it in our suggestion.
