Introducing the OpenSSF Scorecard API
Blog post from Endor Labs
Modern software development often relies on numerous open-source components, which, despite boosting productivity, pose security risks due to potential vulnerabilities in their dependencies. To address this, the OpenSSF Scorecard provides an automated tool that evaluates the security health of open-source software by assigning scores based on various security checks, such as code reviews and branch protection, making it easier for organizations to improve their security posture. The recent release of the Scorecard API enhances its utility by allowing users to access a dataset to track and enforce policies on dependencies more efficiently, thereby maintaining a high-quality bar for new dependencies and mitigating risks associated with rapid growth and outdated components. This API facilitates ongoing evaluations of dependencies, such as identifying whether they utilize fuzzing, a method to discover vulnerabilities, thereby strengthening the software supply chain's overall security.
