What we like

Analyzes your code to determine not just if you have a vulnerable dependency, but also whether your usage triggers the vulnerability. Helps triage dependency security alerts based on vulnerability reachability, rather than just a version comparison. Run via CLI or CI. Can comment on PRs, alert via Slack/email, and optionally propose auto-fixes.

Tradeoffs

Only analyzes usage of direct dependencies - can still alert on vulnerabilities in transitive or indirect dependencies, but does not yet support detection of their usage relevancy.
