Scan Dependency Security Risks
Dependency vulnerabilities and license risks are difficult to track across ecosystems. This skill guides scanning, prioritization, SBOM creation, and remediation planning.

Test it
Using "security-scanning-security-dependencies". A Node.js service has package files and a request to assess release readiness.
Expected outcome:
The report identifies npm as the ecosystem, lists critical and high issues first, names fixed versions, and recommends blocking release until tests pass.
Using "security-scanning-security-dependencies". A mixed Python and Go repository needs scheduled security checks.
Expected outcome:
The workflow recommendation includes separate scanner steps, saved artifacts, threshold rules for critical findings, and an owner for remediation review.
Using "security-scanning-security-dependencies". A compliance team requests supply chain evidence for an application.
Expected outcome:
The response summarizes SBOM coverage, vulnerable components, unresolved license questions, and follow-up actions for audit evidence.
Security Audit
Medium RiskThe static command and filesystem alerts are mostly safe examples for dependency scanning, not hidden executable behavior. No prompt injection, credential exfiltration, or malicious network intent was found. The main residual risk is the automated update workflow, which can modify dependencies and should require explicit approval and testing.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Audit Release Dependencies
Scan dependency files before a release and identify critical fixes that must block deployment.
Prepare Compliance Evidence
Generate SBOM-oriented inventory notes and summarize vulnerable packages for compliance review.
Standardize Repository Checks
Create repeatable CI dependency scanning steps for teams using several package ecosystems.
Try These Prompts
Scan this project for dependency vulnerabilities. Identify the package ecosystems, required tools, and the highest priority remediation steps.
Review the dependency manifests and lockfiles in this repository. Summarize vulnerable packages, fixed versions, and test steps before changes.
Design a dependency security scanning workflow for this repository. Include scan cadence, failure thresholds, artifacts, and ownership guidance.
Analyze dependency risk across ecosystems and create a remediation plan using severity, exploitability, fix availability, release impact, and SBOM needs.
Best Practices
- Run scans on a regular schedule and before high-risk releases.
- Prioritize fixes using severity, exploit availability, and application exposure.
- Test every dependency update before merging remediation changes.
Avoid
- Running auto-fix commands without explicit approval and review.
- Treating scanner output as complete without checking false positives.
- Ignoring lockfiles when assessing actual deployed dependency versions.
