vulnerability-scanner

To scan a codebase for security vulnerabilities, run the Python-based security scanner against your project path to parse manifests, detect secret exposure, and identify risky code patterns. The tool emits a JSON report detailing findings and severity levels.

Checking dependencies for known vulnerabilities involves parsing manifests and running optional npm audits to surface misconfigurations and risks. This automated vulnerability scanning identifies weaknesses across software project layers during development and release cycles.

You can integrate automated vulnerability scanning into CI pipelines to fail builds when high-severity issues are found. The scanner evaluates code patterns, dependencies, and configuration weaknesses, outputting a JSON report to enforce security gates.

The vulnerability scanner does not require npm to detect insecure dependencies, as it natively parses manifests using Python. However, it can run optional npm audits if the environment supports it to provide additional dependency integrity checks.

A codebase vulnerability scanner detects security gaps across multiple layers including dependency misconfigurations, secret exposure, risky code patterns, and insecure configuration defaults. It surfaces these exploitable vulnerabilities through automated source file parsing and optional npm audits.
