Usage

The OWASP dependency-check-gradle plugin provides monitoring of the projects dependent libraries; creating a report of known vulnerable components that are included in the build.

It is important to understand that the first time this task is executed it may take 5-20 minutes as it downloads and processes the data from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) hosted by NIST: https://nvd.nist.gov

After the first batch download, as long as the plugin is executed at least once every seven days the update will only take a few seconds.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'org.owasp:dependency-check-gradle:1.3.6'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'org.owasp.dependencycheck'

gradle dependencyCheck --info
