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.

Initial Usage

$ mvn install
$ cd target
$ java -jar dependency-check-[version].jar -h
$ java -jar dependency-check-[version].jar -a Testing -out . -scan ./test-classes -scan ./lib

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