Project Modules
This project has declared the following modules:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Dependency-Check Utils | dependency-check-utils is a collection of common utility classes used within dependency-check that might be useful in other projects. |
| Dependency-Check Core | dependency-check-core is the engine and reporting tool used to identify and report if there are any known, publicly disclosed vulnerabilities in the scanned project's dependencies. The engine extracts meta-data from the dependencies and uses this to do fuzzy key-word matching against the Common Platfrom Enumeration (CPE), if any CPE identifiers are found the associated Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) entries are added to the generated report. |
| Dependency-Check Command Line | dependency-check-cli is an command line tool that uses dependency-check-core to detect publicly disclosed vulnerabilities associated with the scanned project dependencies. The tool will generate a report listing the dependency, any identified Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) identifiers, and the associated Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) entries. |
| Dependency-Check Ant Task | dependency-check-ant is an Ant Task that uses dependency-check-core to detect publicly disclosed vulnerabilities associated with the project's dependencies. The task will generate a report listing the dependency, any identified Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) identifiers, and the associated Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) entries. |
| Dependency-Check Maven Plugin | dependency-check-maven is a Maven Plugin that uses dependency-check-core to detect publicly disclosed vulnerabilities associated with the project's dependencies. The plugin will generate a report listing the dependency, any identified Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) identifiers, and the associated Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) entries. |
| Dependency-Check Plugin Archetype | dependency-check is a utility that identifies project dependencies and checks if there are any known, publicly disclosed vulnerabilities. This tool can be part of the solution to the OWASP Top 10 2013: A9 - Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities. |
