Build a lean database consisting of GitHub advisories. Build it in the CI pipeline on a cron job, publishing the result as an OCI artifact.

The idea is to write a tool which creates a lean database well suited for cupdate to look up GitHub repositories and find vulnerabilities. The tool would run in the CI every day or so and publish its result to GHCR as an OCI artifact. The artifact could then be downloaded by cupdate and used.
This is necessary as GitHub doesn't provide a nice way of querying the data of their advisory database: https://github.com/github/advisory-database/tree/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024.
