SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of identifying security vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and license compliance issues within your project's dependencies, helping to prevent security breaches and maintain a healthy codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vulnerability Scanning: Detects known vulnerabilities (CVEs) in direct and transitive dependencies across various ecosystems (npm, Python, Go, Ruby, Java, .NET).
  • License Compliance: Identifies packages with incompatible or problematic licenses.
  • Supply Chain Security: Checks for suspicious or deprecated packages.
  • Remediation Guidance: Provides actionable steps for upgrading or replacing vulnerable dependencies.
  • Use Case: Before deploying a new feature, run @dependency-auditor to ensure no critical vulnerabilities are introduced by recent package additions.

Quick Start

Run a full security audit of your project's dependencies.

Frequently Asked Questions about dependency-auditor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan npm and Python dependencies for known security vulnerabilities?▼

Scanning npm and Python dependencies for security vulnerabilities involves an automated audit that detects known CVEs in direct and transitive packages, providing detailed severity classifications, exploitability analysis, and remediation guidance across multiple project ecosystems.

What is dependency auditing and how does it identify license compliance issues?▼

Dependency auditing analyzes project packages to identify security vulnerabilities and license compliance issues. It checks dependencies to find incompatible or problematic licenses, ensuring legal compliance and preventing security breaches across Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, Java, and .NET ecosystems.

Can I audit dependencies for multiple ecosystems like Go, Ruby, Java, and .NET in one pass?▼

Yes, you can audit dependencies for multiple ecosystems in one pass. The automated security auditing process supports scanning Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, Java, and .NET projects simultaneously to identify known vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and license compatibility issues across all environments.

Does the vulnerability scanner provide remediation guidance for outdated packages?▼

Yes, the vulnerability scanner provides remediation guidance for outdated packages. After identifying known CVEs and deprecated packages in your dependency tree, it delivers actionable steps for upgrading or replacing vulnerable dependencies to secure your codebase.

What is the best way to check for supply chain security risks in project dependencies?▼

The best way to check for supply chain security risks is running an automated dependency audit that scans for suspicious or deprecated packages alongside known vulnerabilities. This process evaluates direct and transitive dependencies, providing severity classifications and exploitability analysis.
