    Dependency Vulnerability Scanner: AI-Enhanced Security Audits

    Scan your dependencies for vulnerabilities with AI-powered analysis that goes beyond CVE databases.

    Security Dependencies

    CVE Databases Are Not Enough

    Traditional scanners check against known CVEs. But zero-days, misconfigurations, and risky dependency patterns slip through. AI-enhanced scanning analyzes code patterns in your dependencies to identify potential vulnerabilities before they're publicly disclosed.

    How It Works

    Upload your package manifest (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod). The scanner checks CVE databases, analyzes dependency trees for transitive vulnerabilities, and applies AI pattern matching for emerging threats.

    import Vincony from "vincony";
    
    const client = new Vincony({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" });
    
    const scan = await client.tools.scanDependencies({
      manifest: "package.json",
      lock_file: "package-lock.json",
      depth: "full",  // Include transitive dependencies
      ai_analysis: true  // Enable AI pattern matching
    });
    
    console.log(`Scanned ${scan.total_packages} packages`);
    console.log(`Critical: ${scan.critical} | High: ${scan.high} | Medium: ${scan.medium}`);
    
    scan.vulnerabilities.forEach(vuln => {
      console.log(`[${vuln.severity}] ${vuln.package}@${vuln.version}`);
      console.log(`  ${vuln.description}`);
      console.log(`  Fix: upgrade to ${vuln.fixed_version}`);
      console.log(`  AI insight: ${vuln.ai_analysis}`);
    });

    Automated Fix PRs

    Don't just report — fix. The scanner generates upgrade commands and, for breaking changes, provides migration guides with code examples.

    License Compliance

    Beyond security, the scanner flags license compatibility issues. Mixing GPL and MIT? Using AGPL in a SaaS product? Get alerted before legal problems arise.

    // Include license analysis
    const scan = await client.tools.scanDependencies({
      manifest: "package.json",
      include_license_audit: true,
      project_license: "MIT",
      flag_licenses: ["GPL-3.0", "AGPL-3.0"]
    });
    
    scan.license_issues.forEach(issue => {
      console.log(`⚠️ ${issue.package}: ${issue.license} — ${issue.concern}`);
    });
