What problem does it solve?

Dependency auditing helps teams gain visibility into security, licensing, and maintenance risks across multi-language projects, preventing supply-chain issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

Vulnerability scanning, license compliance checks, and upgrade planning across JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, and Java ecosystems.
Dependency hygiene: identify unused or redundant dependencies and plan safe reductions.
Use Case: For a multi-repo project, quickly surface high-risk dependencies and propose remediation.

Quick Start

Run the Dependency Auditor on your project directory to generate vulnerability, license, and upgrade reports.

FAQPage Schema

How do I scan dependencies for security vulnerabilities across multiple programming languages?▼

Vulnerability scanning across multiple programming languages is performed by analyzing a project directory to identify risks in direct and transitive dependencies. The tool supports JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, and Java ecosystems.

Can I check license compliance for dependencies in a monorepo?▼

Yes, license compliance checks can be performed on monorepos. The tool analyzes dependencies across multiple ecosystems to assess license risks and generate compliance reports for your project.

What is the best way to plan dependency upgrades and reduce redundant packages?▼

The best way to plan dependency upgrades and reduce redundant packages is to use an integrated upgrade heuristic risk scoring system. This identifies unused dependencies, scores upgrade risks, and proposes safe reduction workflows.

Does dependency auditing work with transitive dependencies in Python and npm?▼

Yes, dependency auditing works with transitive dependencies in Python and npm. It analyzes both direct and transitive dependencies to surface high-risk components and propose remediation strategies.

Why do I need an integrated vulnerability database for dependency scanning?▼

An integrated vulnerability database is needed for dependency scanning to accurately identify known security risks in your project's dependencies. It enables the tool to map detected packages against documented vulnerabilities and provide actionable remediation.
