Most Container Images Carry Critical CVEs Before They Reach Production

Zero Known CVEs100+ Attributes VettedMalware Screened
◈ the assay · every package earns its certification
Problem

You inherit vulnerabilities from day one by deploying unvetted images and packages from public registries riddled with CVEs and malware.

Cost

A large share of container images carry critical CVEs before production, and inherited vulnerabilities can stall enterprise deals.

Solution

OSM delivers 500K+ Gold components designed for zero critical CVEs, zero high vulnerabilities, and no known malware, with Attestation Level 2+ verification. Browse gold.safeguard.sh—production-ready from day one.

Benefit

Teams accelerate their compliance readiness and unblock enterprise deals. Secure open source. No inherited debt. No compromises.

Why Start with Zero CVE?

Most organizations deploy with pre-existing vulnerabilities—a large share of container images carry critical CVEs before they reach production. Gold packages and images are built to remove that inherited risk.

Zero CVE

Zero critical and high vulnerabilities at certification—designed to be secure from deployment

100+

Security attributes vetted for every package and image—provenance, licensing, maintainability

Gold

Packages verified and attested—npm, PyPI, Maven, NuGet, and more

Hardened

Certified container images hardened and malware-screened—ready to deploy

Why OSM

How Does the Zero CVE Approach Work?

Start clean with pre-vetted, certified components. Every Gold package and container image undergoes rigorous 100+ attribute vetting before certification—designed to remove inherited vulnerabilities from day one.

Pre-Vetted, Not Post-Deployment

01

Unlike scan-and-fix approaches, Gold packages are certified secure BEFORE deployment. Zero critical CVEs, zero high CVEs, no known malware. No inherited vulnerabilities. Start clean, stay clean.

Comprehensive Security Validation

02

Every package undergoes 100+ attribute vetting: vulnerability scanning, malware detection, license compliance, provenance validation, maintainer verification, and Attestation Level 2+ certification. No shortcuts.

Certified Images & Packages

03

Browse our Gold catalog at gold.safeguard.sh—a growing set of container images and packages across npm, PyPI, Maven, NuGet, RubyGems, and more. Production-ready from day one.

Core Capabilities

What Makes Gold Packages Zero CVE?

From packages to containers, every component is certified secure before deployment—not after. No inherited vulnerabilities. No day-one CVEs. No compromises.

100+ Attribute Security Vetting

Every Gold package undergoes exhaustive pre-deployment validation. Vulnerabilities, malware, license compliance, maintainability, provenance—certified secure before you use it.

  • Zero critical and high vulnerabilities at certification
  • Malware detection and behavioral analysis
  • License compliance and legal risk assessment
  • Maintainer validation and provenance tracking

Zero-CVE Container Images

Pre-hardened container images screened for malware. Rather than handing you new base images to rebuild from, we harden YOUR existing images—zero known CVEs from day one.

  • Certified images—zero known CVEs, malware screened
  • Multi-layer security analysis and hardening
  • OCI-compliant for any registry
  • Full attestation and governance documentation

01

Zero-CVE certification—critical and high vulnerabilities removed

Every package and image pre-vetted and certified secure. No inherited vulnerabilities. Start clean, not compromised.

02

Malware screening with behavioral analysis

Comprehensive malware detection and analysis. Every component scanned for malicious code, backdoors, and supply chain attacks.

03

Production-ready with full attestation and compliance

SLSA provenance, license compliance, complete governance documentation. Deploy immediately with zero security debt.

Open source governance

Run open source like a governed supply chain.

Curate, gate, mirror, and monitor — so engineers ship fast and legal sleeps at night.

Approved-package registry

A curated, vetted catalogue of OSS versions engineers can install without further review. The registry is your golden source of truth across npm, PyPI, Maven, NuGet, Crates, and RubyGems.

License risk engine

SPDX-aware classification into permissive, weak-copyleft, strong-copyleft, or proprietary-conflict buckets. Policy gates fail or warn based on the bucket and your business model.

Maintainer-health scoring

Bus-factor, commit cadence, single-maintainer flags, and recent ownership transfer alerts. Catch fragile dependencies before they become a security incident.

Typosquat and dependency-confusion blocker

Pre-install check against malicious-package detection signatures. Stops the bad package before it ever touches the build agent.

Internal mirror

Proxy and cache for npm, PyPI, Maven, NuGet, Crates, and RubyGems. Every resolve runs through policy enforcement, with deterministic and reproducible builds.

Drift alerts

Notify owners the moment an approved package version is upgraded silently or a new maintainer takes over a transitive dependency. No more invisible supply-chain changes.

Use cases this product solves

When the package becomes the problem.

License audit before product launch

Setup

Closed-source release ships next quarter.

OSM classifies every direct and transitive dependency, flags GPL and AGPL components, and produces a clean SPDX bill of materials for legal sign-off.

Outcome

Prove the absence of strong-copyleft without a manual sweep.

Bus-factor-of-1 replacement

Setup

A critical dep just transferred to a new maintainer.

Maintainer-health scoring fires an ownership-transfer alert; OSM suggests vetted alternatives from the approved registry along with migration notes.

Outcome

Replace the dependency before it gets weaponised.

Supply-chain attack blocking

Setup

A typosquatted package is published on npm.

Mirror intercept runs malicious-package detection at install time, blocks the resolve, and routes the engineer to the approved-registry equivalent.

Outcome

Attack stopped at the developer's machine, before CI.

Procurement enablement

Setup

Engineering wants to install a new OSS library.

Policy is encoded in OSM, so the install either auto-approves against the registry or routes to legal with the context already attached.

Outcome

Ship in minutes instead of waiting two weeks on legal review.

How it works end-to-end

From npm install to audit-grade trail.

Every package resolve is observed, policy-checked, and logged — without slowing developers down.

01

Engineer requests install

Developer runs npm install, pip install, or the equivalent against the OSM mirror endpoint.

02

Mirror intercept

The proxy resolves the package metadata and pulls the version range against the cached registry index.

03

Policy + license + maintainer check

Each candidate version is evaluated against your license policy, malicious-package signatures, and maintainer-health thresholds.

04

Approved version served or install blocked

If policy passes, the vetted version streams through; if not, the install is denied with a human-readable reason and a suggested alternative.

05

Audit log entry

Resolve, decision, and source are written to an append-only audit log with developer identity and request context.

06

Continuous drift monitor

OSM watches upstream for silent upgrades, maintainer changes, and new CVEs — and alerts owning teams the moment posture drifts.
