A dependency audit identifies known vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and license or supply-chain risks across both direct and transitive dependencies. It works by inventorying packages, scanning for CVEs, and prioritizing remediation based on severity and practical exposure to reduce security and legal risk.

Prioritize CVE remediation by scanning dependencies and ranking security issues based on severity and practical exposure. This approach ensures you address the most critical vulnerabilities first, providing a structured upgrade path with compatibility notes for safe package upgrades.

The best way to prepare for a supply-chain security and license compliance review is to generate a full dependency inventory including transitive packages. This allows vulnerability scanning to flag issues like typosquatting and incompatible licenses for structured remediation planning.

To check package licenses for supply-chain risks like typosquatting, run a license compliance and supply-chain check during your dependency audit. This flags incompatible licenses and suspicious behavior, recommending remediation to close legal and security gaps.

Yes, effective dependency vulnerability scanning covers transitive dependencies to build a complete picture of what the project actually relies on. Inventorying transitive packages alongside direct ones ensures hidden supply-chain security risks and license compliance gaps are fully surfaced.
