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

To scan project dependencies for known vulnerabilities, use this Skill to run Google OSV-Scanner, which detects security issues across multiple ecosystems like npm, Python, Go, and Rust.

Can I use this for SBOM analysis and container image scanning?

Yes, you can use this for SBOM analysis and container image scanning. It supports Software Composition Analysis to identify vulnerabilities within Software Bill of Materials files and container images.

Do I need to install OSV-Scanner to scan dependencies?

Yes, you need OSV-Scanner installed and configured for vulnerability database access. This Skill acts as a wrapper to execute scans and retrieve security results for your software supply chain.

What is the best way to secure my software supply chain before deployment?

The best way to secure your software supply chain before deployment is running dependency vulnerability scanning. This identifies high-severity vulnerabilities across your project's packages to ensure safe releases.

Does dependency vulnerability scanning work with multiple programming ecosystems?

Yes, dependency vulnerability scanning works with multiple programming ecosystems. It supports package managers across npm, Python, Go, Rust, and other formats for comprehensive Software Composition Analysis.

Why do I need Software Composition Analysis for my project?

You need Software Composition Analysis to identify known security vulnerabilities within your project dependencies. This ensures your software supply chain remains secure by detecting high-severity issues before deployment.
