🔍 NPM & Node.js Vulnerability Scanner (OSV API)

A lightweight tool that scans your Node.js/NPM dependencies and Linux Packages for known vulnerabilities by using the Google OSV API. It reads your project packages and instantly returns any related CVEs.

🧠 How It Works

1. Reads packages/package.json / packages/package.txt
2. Collects all dependency names and versions
3. Sends them to the OSV API
4. Receives and displays any vulnerabilities (CVEs) affecting those packages

Linux

- python3 -m venv .venv
- pip install requests openpyxl
- source .venv/bin/activate
- copy packages.json to /packages folder and name it exactly like this 'packages.json' for nodejs otherwise for python use this command:
    - pip freeze > packages.txt
- python3 scanner.py npm

Windows

- python3 -m venv .venv
- pip install requests openpyxl
- ./.venv/Script/Activate.ps1
- copy packages.json to /packages folder and name it exactly like this 'packages.json' for nodejs otherwise for python use this command:
    - pip freeze > packages.txt
- python3 scanner.py npm
