SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the detection and remediation planning of vulnerabilities in project dependencies across multiple ecosystems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency discovery across major ecosystems: detects the manifest/lock files and builds a comprehensive dependency tree.
  • Vulnerability reporting with direct vs transitive risk: prioritizes findings and clarifies whether exposure comes from direct dependencies or transitive ones.
  • Remediation guidance and upgrade paths: provides fixed versions, potential workarounds, and actionable upgrade steps.

Quick Start

Run an Endor Labs SCA scan in your project repository to generate a vulnerability report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan project dependencies for known vulnerabilities across multiple languages?

To scan project dependencies for vulnerabilities, you need a tool that locates manifest and lock files across major ecosystems. This approach builds a dependency tree and identifies security issues in both direct and transitive packages.

What is the difference between direct and transitive risk in SCA vulnerability reporting?

Direct risk in SCA vulnerability reporting stems from packages you explicitly declared, while transitive risk originates from underlying nested dependencies. Distinguishing them helps prioritize which packages require immediate version upgrades or remediation.

How do I find fixed versions and upgrade paths for vulnerable dependencies?

Finding fixed versions and upgrade paths for vulnerable dependencies requires scanning your project to detect the affected packages. An SCA tool analyzes the dependency tree and outputs remediation guidance with actionable upgrade steps.

Does SCA composition analysis work with any programming language ecosystem?

SCA composition analysis works across multiple programming language ecosystems by automatically detecting standard manifest and lock files. This broad compatibility ensures comprehensive vulnerability scanning without requiring language-specific configurations.

Can I get a prioritized vulnerability report for my project's dependency tree?

Yes, you can get a prioritized vulnerability report by running an SCA scan on your project repository. It evaluates the complete dependency tree and highlights the most critical security findings based on severity and exposure.

What's the best way to automate vulnerability detection in software dependencies?

The best way to automate vulnerability detection in software dependencies is integrating an SCA scan into your workflow. It automatically discovers manifest files, evaluates transitive risk, and generates actionable remediation guidance.
