Also, is there an RSS feed that enables programmatic access to newly
disclosed vulnerabilities on the security page ?

We're currently doing this by running an app [1] in our CF that scrapes the
Pivotal security page once an hour & creates events in Datadog
corresponding to new CVEs. Datadog then raises a ticket in our support
system. It's perhaps a bit over-engineered, but we wanted to have the
events in Datadog so we could put the alerts in a dashboard etc. if we
wanted.

We only used the Pivotal security page because the Cloud Foundry one didn't
exist then. Ideally there would be a stable machine-readable list of all
CVEs relevant to the open source product. If it is RSS/atom we might be
able to do what we want without writing code, using something like
https://ifttt.com/
