FAQPage Schema
How do I scan project dependencies for security vulnerabilities and license issues?

To audit dependencies for security vulnerabilities and license issues, run a dependency audit on your project. It scans Python, Node.js, and Go ecosystems to identify known risks and outputs a structured report with remediation suggestions.

What is a dependency audit and when do I need it for my software project?

A dependency audit is a process that identifies security vulnerabilities, license compliance risks, and bloat in your project's packages. You need it to keep your software supply chain safe, legally compliant, and free of unused dependencies.

Does dependency auditing work with Python, Node.js, and Go projects?

Yes, dependency auditing works with Python, Node.js, Go, and other software ecosystems. It applies vulnerability scanners and license checkers across these platforms to generate a comprehensive risk report for your specific environment.

How do I check my package management files for risky or non-compliant software licenses?

To check for risky software licenses, you run a dependency audit which performs license compliance checks on your package management files. It flags risky licenses and generates a structured report detailing compliance issues and remediation steps.

What is the best way to reduce attack surface from unused or outdated dependencies?

The best way to reduce your attack surface is to run a dependency audit to identify and recommend removing unused or outdated dependencies. This reduces package size and eliminates potential security vulnerabilities in your software supply chain.

Why does my dependency audit recommend removing packages from my project?

A dependency audit recommends removing packages to reduce your attack surface and minimize bloat. It identifies unused or outdated dependencies that increase package size and expose your software project to unnecessary security vulnerabilities and license risks.
