Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add dependency scanning to Railway?
Add OSV Scanner or the ecosystem-specific audit tool to your Railway 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 Railway 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.
