Auditing dependency risk involves analyzing project libraries for indicators like unmaintained projects, single-maintainer risk, and known CVEs. This process flags dependencies with heightened exploitation or takeover risk to help you scope security work confidently before deeper vulnerability scanning.

Single-maintainer risk in software dependencies occurs when a library relies on one developer, increasing the chance of project abandonment or malicious takeover. Identifying this supply chain risk factor helps evaluate dependency health and prioritize alternatives before integration.

Generating a security report for high-risk GitHub dependencies requires collecting repo metrics using the gh tool, applying risk criteria like low popularity and risky features, then populating a structured template to list flagged dependencies and suggested alternatives.

Yes, this dependency risk audit requires the GitHub CLI tool to collect accurate repository metrics. Using the gh tool ensures precise data gathering for evaluating dependency health and identifying supply chain attack surfaces.

Supply chain security audits evaluate risk factors including unmaintained projects, single-maintainer risk, low popularity, risky features like FFI or deserialization, and known CVEs. Only dependencies with at least one identified risk factor are included in the final report.

Yes, mitigation planning is included by suggesting more popular and better-maintained alternatives for each flagged dependency. The structured report provides an executive summary, counts by risk factor, and a table of high-risk dependencies with reasons.
