The OSSF Malicious Packages repository is an open-source database containing reports of malicious packages identified across different open-source package repositories.
13+
14+
## Scope
15+
Instead of listing unintentional weaknesses like CVEs, malicious packages focus more on intentional malicious patterns like typosquatting attacks, account takeovers, dependency confusion, or manifest confusion, just to name a few.
16+
17+
18+
The OSSF explicitly defines malicious packages as those that, when installed or used, compromise system confidentiality, availability, and/or integrity.
19+
20+
## Data Access
21+
22+
Malicious packages can be accessed via the public [GitHub repository](https://github.com/ossf/malicious-packages), located in the osv directory.
23+
Additionally, the OSSF publishes [up-to-date statistics](https://ossf.github.io/malicious-packages/stats/) on total malicious packages.
