Happy anniversary GitHub Security Lab!

The GitHub Security Lab, launched at GitHub Universe, is dedicated to enhancing the security of open-source software through research, community building, and industry engagement. In its first year, the lab reported over 400 vulnerabilities, including 194 CVE assignments, across prominent projects such as Google Chrome and the Linux Kernel, and contributed to critical security efforts like Germany's COVID-19 infrastructure. By fostering a collaborative community, the lab encourages security researchers to create CodeQL queries to prevent future vulnerabilities, rewarding contributors with significant bounties. Additionally, the lab co-founded the Open Source Security Foundation, aiming to secure the open-source ecosystem by engaging with companies and organizations globally. As it moves forward, the lab focuses on improving communication between developers and researchers during vulnerability disclosures, addressing supply chain attacks, and bridging the gap between security and development communities through educational content and community participation.
