## What it is
A community-maintained database of known security vulnerabilities in PHP Composer packages, stored as YAML files keyed by CVE or date. It centralizes advisory data for tools like the local-php-security-checker and GitHub security actions to consume.

## Use cases
- check composer.lock for known vulnerabilities
- audit php dependencies for cves
- feed security advisories into ci pipeline
- find affected versions of a php package
- centralize php vulnerability data

## When to choose
- you run PHP projects with Composer dependencies and want automated vulnerability checks
- you build tooling that needs a machine-readable PHP advisory database

## When to avoid
- you need authoritative primary-source security information
- you work outside the PHP/Composer ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: security, dependency-audit, vulnerability-scanning
- domain: security, developer-tools
- platform: php, cli
- tags: composer, packagist, security-advisories, cve, yaml-database, php
