This is the Global Security Database (GSD) which contains all the GSD's and their data.

A directory for the year and a sub directory for the GSD identifier number, broken into blocks of 1000, and then the filename is GSD-YEAR-IDENTIFIER e.g. 2021/1000xxx/GSD-2021-1000000.json

The GSD data files are JSON and use a simple name spacing strategy to support multiple data formats. The basic structure is a JSON object (data with "{}") that contains key/value pairs that consist of a namespace identifier (e.g. "GSD" or "OSF") and a second JSON object with the data (e.g. GSD or OSV data). This allows direct imports of existing JSON data from other formats.

The GSD doesn't have a finished data format yet. The GSD is experimenting primarily with an extended OSV format, various JSON-LD iterations and to a lesser degree the CVE JSON 5.0 format (by virtue of importing the existing data).

If you want to help improve the OSV format please file an issue in the https://github.com/ossf/osv-schema project.

Currently the GSD requires identity/atttribution for participation in GitHub to a GitHub account, this is a technical limitation/feature of the platform. Participation in the public email lists/Twitter/etc. for example does NOT require a GitHub account (or any identity beyond a working email address/Twitter account/etc.). Truly anonymous participation is not explicitly supported, however pseudonymity is supported and welcome.
