Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add dependency scanning to GitLab CI?

Add OSV Scanner or the ecosystem-specific audit tool to your GitLab CI build configuration. The config snippet above works out of the box.

Does PackageFix integrate with CI/CD pipelines?

PackageFix is a browser tool for manual scans. For automated CI scanning, use OSV Scanner (Google) or pip-audit/npm audit in your pipeline. PackageFix generates the Renovate config and GitHub Actions workflow you can copy.

How do I fail a GitLab CI build on critical CVEs?

Add --audit-level=critical to npm audit, or --fail-on=critical to pip-audit. The pipeline aborts if critical CVEs are found.

What is the OSV Scanner?

OSV Scanner is Google's open-source CLI tool that queries the same OSV database PackageFix uses. It's ideal for CI/CD integration.
