FAQPage Schema
How do I scan project dependencies for security vulnerabilities?

To scan dependencies for security vulnerabilities, provide your project directory path to trigger automated multi-language vulnerability scanning. It detects security flaws across diverse ecosystems like npm, pip, RubyGems, and Go modules, then suggests actionable fixes.

How do I check open source license compliance for npm and pip packages?

Checking open source license compliance involves analyzing dependency license types across your project ecosystem to identify legal risks. This process evaluates packages from npm, pip, and others, ensuring your software maintains legal adherence and avoids licensing conflicts.

Does multi-language dependency analysis work with RubyGems and Go modules?

Multi-language dependency analysis does work with RubyGems and Go modules, supporting diverse ecosystems. It performs automated vulnerability scanning and license compliance checks across these platforms, ensuring comprehensive security and legal adherence for your software projects.

What's the best way to plan dependency upgrades without introducing breaking changes?

The best way to plan dependency upgrades is by generating a prioritized upgrade path that evaluates security, versioning, and breaking change risks. This planning minimizes potential disruptions while ensuring your project components remain secure and up-to-date.

When do I need to run a full dependency audit before a software release?

You need to run a full dependency audit before a software release to ensure all components are secure, legally compliant, and up-to-date. Performing vulnerability scanning and license checks at this stage minimizes both security flaws and legal risks in production.

Why does dependency scanning report licensing conflicts in my project?

Dependency scanning reports licensing conflicts because it evaluates the license types of all project dependencies to detect potential legal risks. Identifying these conflicts ensures your software complies with legal standards and avoids incorporating restrictive or incompatible open source licenses.
