Go Vulnerability Database

Accessing the database

The Go vulnerability database is rooted at https://vuln.go.dev and provides data as JSON. We recommend using client.Client to read data from the Go vulnerability database.

Do not rely on the contents of the x/vulndb repository. The YAML files in that repository are maintained using an internal format that is subject to change without warning.

The endpoints the table below are supported. For each path:

• $base is the path portion of a Go vulnerability database URL (https://vuln.go.dev).
• $module is a module path
• $vuln is a Go vulnerabilitiy ID (for example, GO-2021-1234)

Path	Description
$base/index.json	List of module paths in the database mapped to its last modified timestamp (link).
$base/$module.json	List of vulnerability entries for that module (example).
$base/ID/index.json	List of all the vulnerability entries in the database
$base/ID/$vuln.json	An individual Go vulnerability report

Note that these paths and format are provisional and likely to change until an approved proposal.
