Gold

Safeguard Gold, the public open-source security intelligence site at gold.safeguard.sh, and requesting Gold versions of vulnerable packages from Open Source Manager.

Gold

Safeguard Gold is Safeguard's public open-source security intelligence site, at gold.safeguard.sh. It is free and needs no account. Search a package, container image or CVE to see what is known about it: its known vulnerabilities with severity and fixed versions, whether a CVE is actively exploited (on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list), and its license, maintainer and release details. The full tour is on Gold Open Source.

What "Gold Certified" means

A package or image shows as Gold Certified when Gold knows of no vulnerabilities in the version it indexed and the package is not deprecated. That is the whole rule. It describes what is publicly known about the upstream release; Gold does not rebuild, sign or attest packages, and it does not host a package or image registry.

Fixes come from the upstream project's own releases: each package page with known vulnerabilities shows the version that clears them where one exists, and each CVE page has an Am I affected? check for the version you run.

Requesting a Gold version in Safeguard

In Open Source Manager › Inventory, you can ask the Safeguard team to source a Gold version of a vulnerable package:

  1. Open Open Source Manager › Inventory.
  2. For one package, select Request Gold on its row. Safeguard confirms with Gold Request Submitted, and the row then shows Gold Requested (the marker is kept in your browser).
  3. For every vulnerable package at once, select Source Gold above the table, review the packages and the risks listed, then select Submit Request. Request Premium Gold works the same way for Premium Gold versions.

Each request reaches the Safeguard team as a task to source a Gold version for that package. Request Gold, Source Gold and Request Premium Gold appear only if your plan includes them; ask your Safeguard administrator if you don't see them.

Gold from your AI assistant

The Safeguard MCP server can search Gold and read a package's known vulnerabilities for an assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT, once your administrator switches those tools on. See MCP.
