Dependency Vulnerability Scanning

Use this skill when

Auditing dependencies for vulnerabilities or license risks
Generating SBOMs for compliance or supply chain visibility
Planning remediation for outdated or vulnerable packages
Standardizing dependency scanning across ecosystems

Do not use this skill when

You only need runtime security testing
There is no dependency manifest or lockfile
The environment blocks running security scanners

Context

The user needs comprehensive dependency security analysis to identify vulnerable packages, outdated dependencies, and license compliance issues. Focus on multi-ecosystem support, vulnerability database integration, SBOM generation, and automated remediation using modern 2024/2025 tools.
