About:
Safety is a command-line tool that scans Python project dependencies against a comprehensive database of known security vulnerabilities. It provides actionable remediation advice to help developers secure their applications by identifying and fixing risky package versions.
Key Features:
  • Scans dependencies for known vulnerabilities (CVEs)
  • Provides remediation advice and version recommendations
  • Supports multiple vulnerability sources including Safety DB and OSV
  • Integrates with CI/CD pipelines for automated security checks
  • Generates detailed security reports in multiple formats
Use Cases:
  • Pre-deployment security auditing of Python applications
  • CI/CD pipeline integration for continuous vulnerability monitoring
  • Development workflow integration for proactive dependency management
Alternatives:
  • pip-audit – Similar vulnerability scanning, but Safety offers more comprehensive remediation guidance
  • safety-db – Safety CLI uses safety-db but provides a modern CLI interface and additional features
  • dependabot – Dependabot provides automated PRs, Safety focuses on CLI scanning and developer workflow
