SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pnpm, npm, yarn, pip, poetry, pip-audit, jq, gh, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Automatically audit dependency trees across multiple package managers for known CVEs, prioritize risks, and guide safe remediation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-manager vulnerability scanning across npm, pnpm, yarn, pip, and poetry to identify CVEs and exposure.
  • Automated prioritization by severity with clear remediation guidance and risk profiling.
  • Security reporting and guidance for production-readiness, compliance, and stakeholder communication.

Quick Start

Audit your project dependencies for vulnerabilities and, if desired, automatically fix them and generate a remediation PR.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit project dependencies for known CVEs across multiple package managers?

You can audit dependencies for CVEs by running automated scans across npm, pnpm, yarn, pip, and poetry to detect vulnerabilities and generate prioritized remediation guidance. The process detects your package managers, runs audits, and outputs a detailed security report.

What is the best way to prioritize vulnerability remediation for npm and pip dependencies?

The best way to prioritize vulnerability remediation is to use automated risk profiling that scans npm and pip dependencies, evaluates CVE severity, and generates a prioritized remediation template with clear guidance for safe fixes.

Can I automatically fix vulnerable dependencies and generate a remediation PR?

Yes, you can automatically fix vulnerable dependencies and generate a remediation PR. The auditing process applies optional safe fixes to your packages and produces a remediation template ready for stakeholder communication or deployment.

Does dependency security auditing work with both small projects and large repositories?

Dependency security auditing works with both small projects and large repositories. It supports pre-deployment reviews, post-update checks, and quarterly security audits by detecting package managers and scanning the full dependency tree.

Do I need pip-audit and jq installed to run a Python dependency security audit?

Yes, you need pip-audit and jq installed along with your package manager like pip or poetry. These dependencies are required to detect Python package vulnerabilities and process the audit output into a detailed security report.

How does multi-manager vulnerability scanning handle projects with mixed ecosystems?

Multi-manager vulnerability scanning handles mixed ecosystems by detecting all installed package managers, running audits across npm, pnpm, yarn, pip, and poetry concurrently, and aggregating CVEs into a single detailed report with prioritized remediation guidance.
