Auditing dependencies for security risks involves enumerating all project packages and evaluating them against criteria like single maintainers, unmaintained status, low popularity, past CVEs, and lack of a security contact to generate a structured risk report.

A dependency is flagged as high-risk in a software supply chain if it exhibits factors such as being unmaintained, having a single maintainer, low popularity, high-risk features, past CVEs, or lacking a designated security contact.

Yes, you can use dependency risk auditing in CI pipelines for ongoing health reviews. The process evaluates your codebase's dependency graph continuously, making it suitable for automated security assessments and pre-engagement scoping.

The best way to surface unmaintained dependencies in a codebase is to scan the entire dependency graph against defined risk criteria, automatically flagging packages that lack active maintenance or recent updates to produce a structured report for remediation prioritization.

Yes, dependency risk evaluation includes transitive dependencies. The audit scans all direct and transitive packages within a project's dependency graph to ensure comprehensive coverage of potential security vulnerabilities and maintenance risks.

Dependency risk audit results follow a structured reporting template that details identified risks, justifications for each flag, and suggested mitigations, aligning with standard results documents for security assessments.
