About:
Cargo-deny is a Cargo plugin that acts as a gatekeeper for your Rust project's dependencies. It scans your dependency graph for licensing conflicts, security vulnerabilities, and duplicate crates. This tool helps maintain compliance and security standards across large codebases and CI pipelines.
Key Features:
  • Comprehensive license checking with allow/deny lists
  • Security vulnerability detection via RUSTSEC advisory database
  • Dependency duplication detection and reporting
  • Highly configurable through a deny.toml file
  • Fast scanning optimized for large dependency trees
Use Cases:
  • Enforcing open source license compliance in commercial projects
  • CI/CD pipeline integration to prevent vulnerable dependencies
  • Auditing existing projects for license conflicts and security issues
Alternatives:
  • cargo-license – Focuses only on license reporting without security checks
  • cargo-audit – Security-focused only, lacks license checking features
License: Apache-2.0 OR MIT
Bottles available for: arm64_tahoe, arm64_sequoia, arm64_sonoma, sonoma, arm64_linux, x86_64_linux
