Dependency-Check

Dependency-Check is a utility that attempts to detect publicly disclosed vulnerabilities contained within project dependencies. It does this by determining if there is a Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) identifier for a given dependency. If found, it will generate a report linking to the associated CVE entries.

Documentation and links to production binary releases can be found on the github pages. Additionally, more information about the architecture and ways to extend dependency-check can be found on the wiki.

Current Releases

Ant Task

For instructions on the use of the Ant Task, please see the dependency-check-ant github page.

Development Usage

The following instructions outline how to compile and use the current snapshot. While every intention is to maintain a stable snapshot it is recommended that the release versions listed above be used.

The repository has some large files due to test resources. The team has tried to cleanup the history as much as possible. However, it is recommended that you perform a shallow clone to save yourself time:

git clone --depth 1 [email protected]:jeremylong/DependencyCheck.git

On *nix

$ mvn install
$ ./dependency-check-cli/target/release/bin/dependency-check.sh -h
$ ./dependency-check-cli/target/release/bin/dependency-check.sh --app Testing --out . --scan ./src/test/resources

On Windows

> mvn install
> dependency-check-cli/target/release/bin/dependency-check.bat -h
> dependency-check-cli/target/release/bin/dependency-check.bat --app Testing --out . --scan ./src/test/resources

Then load the resulting 'DependencyCheck-Report.html' into your favorite browser.
