How does it help with OWASP compliance?

It specifically targets OWASP Top 10 A06: Vulnerable and Outdated Components, mapping every finding to relevant CWE and STRIDE categories for standardized security reporting.

Do I need external tools to use this skill effectively?

While Claude performs intelligent configuration hygiene checks, it is highly recommended to have scanners like npm audit, pip-audit, or Trivy installed for reliable and comprehensive CVE detection.

Can this skill automatically fix the vulnerabilities it finds?

Yes, when the --fix flag is used, the skill will attempt to generate specific dependency update commands or source code patches to resolve the identified security issues.

Which programming languages and ecosystems are supported?

The skill supports major ecosystems including Node.js (npm/yarn/pnpm), Python (pip/poetry), Go, Rust (Cargo), Java (Maven/Gradle), Ruby (Bundler), PHP (Composer), .NET, and Docker containers.

Security & Testing

Audits project dependencies for known vulnerabilities, outdated components, and supply chain risks across multiple programming ecosystems.

The Dependency Security Auditor skill automates the detection of security risks within software dependencies by integrating with popular scanners like Trivy, npm audit, and pip-audit while applying Claude's intelligent analysis for configuration hygiene. It maps findings to the OWASP Top 10 (A06: Vulnerable and Outdated Components) and provides actionable remediation steps, including dependency update commands and patches. This tool is essential for developers performing security audits, maintaining supply chain integrity, and ensuring that third-party components do not introduce critical vulnerabilities into production environments.

Key Features

01Detection of supply chain risks including typosquatting and abandoned packages

02Automated generation of fix commands and patches for vulnerable components

03Integrated CVE scanning using Trivy, OSV-Scanner, and native package managers

04Multi-ecosystem support for Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java, PHP, and more

056 GitHub stars

06Detailed reporting mapped to OWASP standards and CWE identifiers

Use Cases

01Performing pre-deployment security audits to ensure no critical CVEs exist in production

02Scanning for typosquatting risks when adding new third-party libraries to a project

03Identifying and pinning unpinned dependency versions to improve build reproducibility
