About:
pip-audit is a command-line tool that scans Python project dependencies for known security vulnerabilities using the OSV and PyPI Advisory Database. It integrates seamlessly with pip and pip-tools workflows to block insecure packages during installation. The tool helps developers identify and remediate risks in their dependency trees quickly.
Key Features:
  • Scans dependencies against vulnerability databases (OSV, PyPI Advisory)
  • Supports requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, and pip-tools lock files
  • Provides CI/CD integration for automated security checks
  • Offers JSON output for programmatic processing
Use Cases:
  • Preventing vulnerable dependencies from being installed in CI pipelines
  • Auditing existing Python environments for known CVEs
Alternatives:
  • safety – Safety uses a proprietary vulnerability database and requires an API key for full features, while pip-audit is open-source and uses public databases
  • trivy – Trivy is a broader container and filesystem scanner, whereas pip-audit is specialized for Python dependency auditing
