The short version
Most dependency security tools fall into one of three categories. CLI tools (npm audit, pip-audit, cargo-audit) run in your terminal and produce reports. GitHub bots (Dependabot, Renovate) open pull requests automatically. Enterprise platforms (Snyk, Mend, Black Duck) require accounts, integrations, and usually money.
PackageFix is none of those — it's a browser tool. Paste your manifest, get a fixed version back in seconds. No install, no account, no GitHub connection. It fills the gap between "run a CLI command" and "set up an enterprise SCA pipeline."
Paste your manifest — see your exact versions against the full CVE history.
