What is dep-scan?

OWASP dep-scan is a comprehensive security and risk audit tool designed to analyze project dependencies for known vulnerabilities, advisories, and license limitations. It supports scanning both local code repositories and container images, making it versatile for various development workflows. The tool is highly suitable for integration with Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) and Vulnerability Management (VM) platforms, as well as within Continuous Integration (CI) environments. Key features include advanced reachability analysis for multiple languages, local and fast package vulnerability scanning, and the generation of Software Bill-of-Materials (SBOM) with Vulnerability Disclosure Report (VDR) information. It also performs deep package risk audits for dependency confusion attacks and maintenance risks, providing clear insights into CVEs and automatic prioritization.
