About Security Audit Tool

What is Security Audit Tool: Real-Time Scans & Vulnerability Blocking?

Security Audit Tool is a middleware server designed to automate real-time security scans of npm package dependencies. It integrates with development workflows to detect vulnerabilities during dependency resolution, blocking insecure packages before they enter the build pipeline. The tool leverages remote registry checks and provides structured vulnerability reports in JSON format for seamless integration with CI/CD systems.

How to Use Security Audit Tool: Real-Time Scans & Vulnerability Blocking?

To implement the tool:

  1. Install via npm/yarn or directly clone the GitHub repository
  2. Configure middleware endpoints in your package manager settings
  3. Set up real-time blocking rules using environment variables
  4. Integrate audit results into CI pipelines using provided API response formats
Advanced users can customize vulnerability severity thresholds and exemption lists through middleware configuration files.

API Response Format

The tool provides detailed vulnerability information including severity levels, fix recommendations, CVSS scores, and CVE references.

Response Examples

1. When Vulnerabilities Found (Severity-response.json)

{
  "content": [{
    "vulnerability": {
      "packageName": "lodash",
      "version": "4.17.15",
      "severity": "high",
      "description": "Prototype Pollution in lodash",
      "cve": "CVE-2020-8203",
      "githubAdvisoryId": "GHSA-p6mc-m468-83gw",
      "recommendation": "Upgrade to version 4.17.19 or later",
      "fixAvailable": true,
      "fixedVersion": "4.17.19",
      "cvss": {
        "score": 7.4,
        "vector": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"
      },
      "cwe": ["CWE-1321"],
      "url": "https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-p6mc-m468-83gw"
    },
    "metadata": {
      "timestamp": "2024-04-23T10:00:00.000Z",
      "packageManager": "npm"
    }
  }]
}

2. When No Vulnerabilities Found (no-Severity-response.json)

{
  "content": [{
    "vulnerability": null,
    "metadata": {
      "timestamp": "2024-04-23T10:00:00.000Z",
      "packageManager": "npm",
      "message": "No known vulnerabilities found"
    }
  }]
}

Development

For development reference, check the example response files in the public directory:

  • Severity-response.json : Example response when vulnerabilities are found (transformed from npm audit API response)
  • no-Severity-response.json : Example response when no vulnerabilities are found (transformed from npm audit API response)

Note: The example responses shown above are transformed from the raw npm audit API responses to provide a more structured format. The original npm audit API responses contain additional metadata and may have a different structure.
