Dependency Security Audit FAQs

Question 1

How are security vulnerabilities classified?

Accepted Answer

Vulnerabilities are mapped to the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS): Critical (9.0-10.0), High (7.0-8.9), Medium (4.0-6.9), and Low (0.1-3.9).

Question 2

Does it automatically apply fixes to my project?

Accepted Answer

It provides specific fix recommendations and commands. While it identifies safe patches, it strictly follows a rule to never auto-fix major versions to prevent breaking changes in your code.

Question 3

Which programming ecosystems are supported?

Accepted Answer

This skill supports a wide range of ecosystems including Node.js (npm), .NET (NuGet), Python (pip, Pipfile, pyproject.toml), Go modules, Ruby (Bundler), Rust (Cargo), and PHP (Composer).

Question 4

What happens if an audit tool is missing on my system?

Accepted Answer

The skill performs an availability check for each ecosystem. If a specific tool is missing, it logs a warning and skips that ecosystem rather than failing the entire process.

Question 5

Can this skill be used for CI/CD automation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is designed to work within delivery workflows and can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines to serve as a quality gate for security compliance.
