To audit software dependencies, you need to analyze package manifests and registry data to identify known vulnerabilities and verify license compatibility. This process checks both direct and transitive dependencies against trusted repositories to ensure full supply chain security.

Software supply chain security verifies that package registries align with trusted repository sources. Provenance validation ensures the dependencies you use are trustworthy and originate from legitimate, secure sources rather than compromised or malicious packages.

Yes, you can check for vulnerabilities in nested transitive dependencies. The auditing process maps the full dependency tree to identify and resolve CVEs in deeply nested libraries, ensuring comprehensive security coverage beyond just direct dependencies.

Yes, dependency scanning assesses license compatibility across your software dependencies. It identifies incompatible packages and can suggest alternatives to ensure your project complies with required licensing standards.

To perform a software supply chain audit, you need access to your project's package manifests and registry data. The analysis requires these inputs to map the dependency tree, validate package provenance, and check for known vulnerabilities.

You should run a software supply chain audit prior to deploying a software update. This ensures that all dependencies are secure, compliant, and free of vulnerabilities, minimizing the risk of supply chain attacks in production environments.
