Dependency Security Checker

About

Dependency Security Checker provides an automated way to audit third-party libraries and mitigate supply chain risks. By identifying manifest files from ecosystems like npm, pip, and Go modules, it cross-references dependencies against vulnerability databases to uncover CVEs, highlights outdated packages with recommended updates, and checks for licensing conflicts. This skill is vital for maintaining a hardened security posture and ensuring that production code remains stable and compliant by providing actionable remediation steps for identified risks.
