SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Dependency and license review for Python projects to identify security risks, license conflicts, and outdated dependencies, enabling safer updates and compliant releases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Security auditing: Validate dependencies against known vulnerabilities using tools like pip-audit.
  • License compliance: Check licenses with pip-licenses to ensure compatibility with project policies.
  • Dependency management: Detect outdated packages and guide secure updates, with CI integration for automated checks.
  • Use case example: When preparing a release, run a full audit to confirm no vulnerable or non-compliant dependencies remain.

Quick Start

Run a full dependency and license audit on your Python project to identify vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and license issues.

Frequently Asked Questions about dependency-auditor

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit Python dependencies for security vulnerabilities in a CI pipeline?▼

To perform a Python dependency security audit in CI pipelines, validate requirements.txt against known vulnerabilities using pip-audit and safety. This detects insecure packages and produces JSON outputs to guide secure updates.

What is the best way to check Python package licenses for compliance?▼

Checking Python package licenses for compliance involves using pip-licenses to verify dependency licenses against project policies. This identifies license conflicts and confirms compatibility before a software release.

Do I need API keys to run a dependency security audit with pip-audit?▼

You do not need API keys to run a basic dependency security audit with pip-audit, but providing optional API keys enables deeper vulnerability database access and more detailed JSON audit outputs.

How does a dependency audit identify outdated packages and guide updates?▼

A dependency audit identifies outdated packages by cross-referencing your Python project requirements against vulnerability databases and package registries. It guides secure updates by flagging insecure or non-compliant dependencies for replacement.

Can I integrate pip-audit and license checks into local Python development?▼

You can integrate pip-audit and pip-licenses checks into local Python development to identify vulnerabilities and license conflicts before pushing code. Run full dependency audits locally to ensure compliant and secure local builds.
