SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automatically scans your project's dependencies for known vulnerabilities (CVEs), outdated packages, and license issues. It proactively alerts you to security risks, preventing vulnerable code from making it into production and saving you from manual, time-consuming audits.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Language Support: Works with Node.js (npm, yarn), Python (pip), Ruby (bundler), Java (Maven, Gradle), and Go modules.
  • Real-time Alerts: Triggers on dependency file changes (package.json, requirements.txt) and before deployments, providing immediate feedback.
  • Use Case: When you add a new package like npm install [email protected], the skill immediately detects and alerts you to known prototype pollution vulnerabilities, suggesting an update to a secure version.

Quick Start

The skill activates automatically when dependency files change.

Add a new dependency to your project:

npm install [email protected]

The skill will then audit your dependencies and alert you to any issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically scan my project dependencies for vulnerabilities?

Dependency auditing automatically scans your project for known vulnerabilities in dependencies using standard tools like npm audit, pip-audit, and bundle audit. The skill monitors dependency files (package.json, requirements.txt, Gemfile, pom.xml, go.mod) and alerts you to CVEs and security risks before deployment.

Does dependency vulnerability scanning work with my language and package manager?

Yes, dependency auditing supports Node.js (npm, yarn), Python (pip), Ruby (bundler), Java (Maven, Gradle), and Go modules. It automatically detects which dependency files are present in your project and applies the appropriate audit tool for each ecosystem.

Can I integrate dependency auditing into my CI/CD pipeline?

Yes, the skill integrates with CI/CD workflows for pre-deployment checks. It triggers automatically when dependency files change and provides real-time alerts, preventing vulnerable code from reaching production by gating deployments on audit results.

What happens when a vulnerable package is added to my project?

When you add a vulnerable package, the skill immediately detects it, categorizes the severity, proposes fixes, and alerts you to breaking changes. For example, adding an outdated version triggers detection of known CVEs with recommendations to upgrade to a secure version.

Does dependency auditing flag outdated packages and license issues?

Yes, the skill scans for known vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and license issues. It categorizes severity levels and proposes fixes, providing comprehensive visibility into dependency risks beyond just CVE detection.

How often does the skill check for new vulnerabilities?

The skill triggers automatically when dependency files change and before deployments. This provides real-time alerts and immediate feedback whenever your dependencies are modified, ensuring you catch vulnerabilities as soon as they're added.
