DatatypeNot PIIidentifierDraft

This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).

Identifier of an advisory in the GitHub Advisory Database: GHSA- and three groups of four characters separated by hyphens. The characters are random and come from the set 23456789cfghjmpqrvwx, always in lower case. An advisory that has a CVE identifier keeps its GHSA ID as well; OSV.dev also uses GHSA IDs as entry ids.
