SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical need to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities and license compliance issues within a project's software dependencies, safeguarding the software supply chain.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vulnerability Detection: Scans direct and transitive dependencies against known vulnerability databases (NVD, GitHub Advisories, OSV).
  • License Compliance: Assesses dependency licenses against project policies, flagging conflicts and non-compliance.
  • SBOM Generation: Creates Software Bills of Materials in standard formats (CycloneDX, SPDX).
  • Automated Remediation: Suggests and can apply version upgrades to fix identified issues.
  • Use Case: A development team can use this skill to automatically scan their Node.js project before merging code, ensuring no new critical vulnerabilities are introduced and all dependencies comply with the company's open-source policy.

Quick Start

Scan the project in the current directory for dependency vulnerabilities and generate a SBOM.

Frequently Asked Questions about dependency-scanning

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

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

To scan dependencies for vulnerabilities, the skill parses your manifest and lock files and queries databases like NVD, GitHub Advisories, and OSV. It identifies security issues in direct and transitive dependencies across Node.js, Python, Java, and Go ecosystems.

Can I generate a Software Bill of Materials in CycloneDX or SPDX formats?▼

Yes, you can generate a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) in standard CycloneDX or SPDX formats. The skill analyzes your project dependencies to produce an SBOM, ensuring comprehensive software supply chain transparency and compliance.

Does dependency scanning support Node.js, Python, Java, and Go projects?▼

Dependency scanning supports multiple package ecosystems including Node.js, Python, Java, and Go. It parses the manifest and lock files specific to these environments to identify security vulnerabilities and license compliance issues.

How do I check open source license compliance for project dependencies?▼

You can check license compliance by scanning dependencies against your project policies. The skill assesses open source licenses from your manifest files, automatically flagging conflicts and non-compliance issues within your software supply chain.

Can this vulnerability analysis tool be integrated into CI/CD pipelines?▼

Yes, this vulnerability analysis tool integrates with CI/CD pipelines. Development teams can automatically scan projects before merging code, ensuring no new critical vulnerabilities are introduced and dependencies comply with open source policies.

Can dependency scanning automatically apply version upgrades to fix issues?▼

Yes, dependency scanning provides automated remediation by suggesting and applying version upgrades. This action fixes identified security vulnerabilities and license compliance issues found during the software supply chain audit.
