FAQPage Schema

How do I scan dependencies for known vulnerabilities in a CI pipeline?▼

Scanning dependencies for vulnerabilities in a CI pipeline requires invoking CLI tools like snyk test to detect known CVEs and expose fix guidance. This approach automates security testing to identify and remediate issues early, enforcing severity thresholds to act as security gates.

Can I enforce severity thresholds to fail builds when scanning code for security issues?▼

Yes, you can enforce severity thresholds to fail builds when scanning code for security issues. By configuring severity-threshold controls within your CLI-driven workflow, the scanning process acts as a security gate, blocking pipeline progression if high-severity vulnerabilities are detected in the source code.

What is the best way to continuously monitor projects for dependency vulnerabilities?▼

The best way to continuously monitor projects for dependency vulnerabilities is by using the snyk monitor command. This continuously tracks your project's dependencies for known CVEs over time, integrating seamlessly into local development or CI pipelines to provide ongoing security visibility and fix guidance.

Does Snyk code scanning work with monorepos across multiple programming languages?▼

Yes, Snyk code scanning works with monorepos across multiple programming languages. The CLI-driven workflow supports invoking snyk test, snyk monitor, and snyk code test across different language ecosystems, enabling comprehensive vulnerability detection and remediation within a single repository structure.

Do I need to install and authenticate the Snyk CLI before running local security scans?▼

Yes, you need to install and authenticate the Snyk CLI before running local security scans. The workflow requires Snyk CLI installation and authentication to successfully invoke snyk test, snyk monitor, and snyk code test for identifying vulnerabilities in your local development environment.
