FAQPage Schema
How do I scan project dependencies for known security vulnerabilities?

Dependency vulnerability auditing identifies and describes security flaws in a project's dependency tree. It performs scanning, reporting, and cross-referencing with previous audits to report severity, basis, source, package, and reachability without applying fixes.

Does dependency vulnerability scanning work with npm, pip, cargo, and gradlew projects?

Dependency vulnerability auditing requires native vulnerability scanners like osv-scanner and bundle-audit, plus Dependabot for GitHub-hosted repositories. You must have these tools installed and configured in your development environment to execute the scanning and cross-referencing processes.

How do I automate dependency security audits for a deployment workflow?

Dependency vulnerability auditing reports the severity, basis, source, package, and reachability of vulnerabilities found in a project's dependency tree. It scans dependencies, cross-references findings with previous audits, and generates a comprehensive report without applying any fixes.

What's the best way to report severity and reachability of vulnerabilities in a dependency tree?

Dependency vulnerability auditing identifies security flaws in a project's dependency tree without applying fixes. It generates comprehensive reports detailing the severity, basis, source, package, and reachability of vulnerabilities, making it suitable for code audits and deployment preparation.

Do I need Dependabot to audit dependencies in GitHub-hosted repositories?

Dependency vulnerability auditing does not apply fixes to identified security flaws. It strictly performs scanning, reporting, and cross-referencing with previous audits to describe the severity and reachability of vulnerabilities, leaving remediation to the developer.
