dependency-audit

To audit project dependencies for security vulnerabilities, you inventory direct and transitive packages, scan for risks, verify licenses, and generate remediation guidance suitable for CI/CD integration.

Yes, dependency auditing covers transitive dependencies across Node and Python projects, allowing you to inventory nested packages and assess supply-chain risks within these specific ecosystems.

The best way to integrate dependency vulnerability scanning into CI/CD is to apply a formal audit workflow that inventories packages, identifies risks, and outputs remediation documentation directly into your pipeline.

You need a formal dependency audit because external packages introduce hidden security, licensing, and maintenance risks that are difficult to track without a structured process covering inventory, scanning, and verification.

Yes, the dependency audit workflow includes license verification alongside vulnerability scanning and outdated package identification to ensure full compliance across your project's external packages.

You should perform a dependency health review quarterly to regularly uncover security risks, update outdated packages, and maintain stability across your npm and pip environments.
