GitHub
Public GitHub repositories, releases, issues, labels, contributors and raw file contents, plus the GitHub Advisory Database: reviewed, unreviewed and malware advisories with EPSS, CWEs and credits, and repositories' own security advisories, plus public user and organization profiles (counts, bio, company, location, top repositories and languages) and user search by location, language, followers and repository count. No email or contact data is returned: GitHub's Acceptable Use Policy forbids selling users' personal information.
