About:
Vet is a command-line tool that scans project dependencies against security and license policies to prevent vulnerabilities and compliance issues. It integrates with the SafeDep ecosystem to provide policy-driven vetting, ensuring that only trusted and compliant open source components are used in your software.
Key Features:
  • Policy-driven security and license scanning
  • Integration with SafeDep ecosystem for enriched vulnerability data
  • Support for multiple package managers (npm, pip, Go modules, etc.)
  • CI/CD friendly with machine-readable output
Use Cases:
  • Preventing vulnerable dependencies from being introduced during development
  • Enforcing open source license compliance in enterprise projects
  • Automating dependency checks in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • Snyk CLI – Snyk offers broader platform integration and monitoring, while Vet is focused on lightweight, policy-driven scanning.
  • OWASP Dependency-Check – Dependency-Check is open-source and Java-centric; Vet is language-agnostic and policy-focused.
