SafeDep vet

SafeDep vet is an open source tool designed to analyze and secure your software supply chain directly within your CI/CD pipelines. It scans the open source packages your project depends on, checking for malicious code and other security risks. The tool works by integrating with platforms like GitHub and GitLab, allowing automated security checks every time code is built or deployed.

What makes SafeDep vet stand out is its foundation on a large-scale malicious package scanning infrastructure. It uses a combination of static and dynamic analysis to detect threats, and suspicious findings are verified by security experts. The tool is part of a broader suite of free, open source utilities from SafeDep, including tools for protecting developers from malicious packages, generating enriched SBOMs, and creating audit trails for AI coding agents. You can use vet completely independently, without needing a commercial relationship with the SafeDep Cloud platform.

This tool is built for security engineers, development teams, and DevOps professionals who need to manage open source risks without slowing down their workflow. It's particularly useful for organizations that rely heavily on open source libraries and want to automate their security posture. Real-world use cases include automatically blocking risky dependencies from entering a codebase, generating compliance-ready SBOMs, and securing projects that utilize AI coding assistants.
