FAQPage Schema
How do I scan npm dependencies for security vulnerabilities across multiple repositories?▼

To scan npm dependencies for security vulnerabilities across multiple repositories, you can use a scanner that processes npm and yarn ecosystems, requires a config.json for setup, and generates actionable reports with alerts when issues are found.

Can I automate vulnerability scanning in my CI pipelines for npm projects?▼

Yes, you can automate vulnerability scanning in CI pipelines. The scanner supports cron-based scheduling and applies to multi-repo software projects, allowing routine security audits to run automatically across your npm-based projects.

What is the best way to audit all npm projects under a specific home directory?▼

The best way to audit all npm projects under a home directory is using a scanner configured via config.json, which can target and analyze all npm projects within that given path to identify known security vulnerabilities.

Does dependency vulnerability scanning work with yarn ecosystems or only npm?▼

Dependency vulnerability scanning works with both npm and yarn ecosystems. It identifies and reports security vulnerabilities across these dependencies, reducing risk and remediation time for multi-repo software projects.

Do I need a config.json file to run a routine security audit on my project dependencies?▼

Yes, you need a config.json file to configure the scanner. This configuration file is required to properly identify and report security vulnerabilities in project dependencies during routine security audits.
