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

To scan project dependencies for known security vulnerabilities and CVEs, the auditor analyzes your project directory to identify risks across multiple ecosystems and provides actionable security reports. It evaluates dependency metadata to detect known CVEs.

Does dependency vulnerability scanning work with Python, Go, Rust, and Ruby ecosystems?

Yes, dependency vulnerability scanning works with JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, and Ruby ecosystems. The multi-language support analyzes project dependency chains across these environments to identify security risks and outdated packages.

How do I check software license compliance for project dependencies?

You can check software license compliance by analyzing dependency metadata against your project requirements. The audit detects license conflicts and evaluates legal risks inherent in your software dependency chains to ensure compliance.

What is the best way to plan dependency upgrades and manage technical debt?

The best way to plan dependency upgrades and manage technical debt is generating prioritized, risk-assessed upgrade paths. The audit evaluates your current packages and provides actionable recommendations for security patches and maintenance.

Can I automate dependency security gating for CI/CD pipelines and supply chain risk management?

Yes, you can automate dependency security gating for CI/CD pipelines and supply chain risk management. The audit satisfies automated CI/CD security gating requirements by continuously evaluating project dependency chains for vulnerabilities.
