OSS Scanner Offers Free Security Checks for Open-Source Projects
Original: OSS Scanner: Free Checks for Eligible Open-Source Projects
A tool called OSS Scanner is providing free security and quality checks for eligible open-source projects. The announcement highlights that maintainers can run automated assessments at no cost, aiming to help under-resourced projects find vulnerabilities early. Coverage so far is limited, and details on eligibility criteria and which checks are included remain sparse.
Why now: Open-source security tooling is a hot topic as supply-chain attacks keep rising, and free scanning options attract maintainer interest.
