FAQPage Schema

How do I automate a security vulnerability scan for project dependencies?▼

Automating a security vulnerability scan involves parsing package manager manifests and lock files to detect known CVEs across multiple languages. This process identifies security risks in your dependencies and generates detailed reports on vulnerabilities before code merges.

What is dependency license compliance analysis and how does it work?▼

Dependency license compliance analysis examines the licenses of your project dependencies to identify potential conflicts and legal risks. It works by parsing lock files and manifests, ensuring your codebase remains legally sound by detecting license conflicts in your software supply chain.

Can I use a dependency auditor for multi-language projects?▼

Yes, dependency auditing supports multi-language projects by parsing various package manager manifests and lock files. It detects high-severity vulnerabilities and license conflicts across different ecosystems, providing comprehensive risk reports for your entire project directory.

How do I generate an upgrade plan for outdated dependencies with vulnerabilities?▼

Generating an upgrade plan for vulnerable dependencies involves analyzing identified CVEs and providing actionable recommendations for safe updates. The audit process evaluates your current package manifests and outputs detailed plans to update dependencies while resolving security and compliance issues.

Does dependency scanning work with package manager lock files?▼

Yes, dependency scanning works directly with package manager manifests and lock files to extract the exact dependency tree. By parsing these files, the audit accurately detects known vulnerabilities and license conflicts without requiring a full project build.

When do I need an SBOM for dependency compliance?▼

You need an SBOM for dependency compliance when you must systematically track security vulnerabilities and license conflicts in your software supply chain. Generating an SBOM through dependency auditing provides detailed reports on identified risks and actionable upgrade recommendations.
