Install โข Docs โข Commands โข Policy โข Discord > [!NOTE] > This branch is vet v2, in alpha. vet v1 is on main > and stays the latest release. The v2.0.0 release notes map each > v1 command and flag to v2. Why vet Your dependencies, your GitHub Actions workflows and your AI agent configs run code that you did not write. vet finds the risk in them. - **Malicious packages.** vet checks each package against SafeDep Threat Intel. Threat Intel analyzes new package versions when the registries publish them. - **Known vulnerabilities**, with the fixed version to upgrade to. - **Risky workflows.** Dangerous triggers, template injection, exposed secrets and actions with no pinned commit SHA. - **Lockfile tampering and fresh versions.** Entries from an untrusted registry, and versions inside the cooldown window. - **Policy as code.** Rules in CEL decide when a scan fails. You can test a rule on a saved scan. - **AI and crypto inventory.** vet lists the AI libraries and the crypto algorithms that your code calls, and writes a CycloneDX xBOM and CBOM. vet needs no account and sends no source code. Quick start Install | Channel | Command | | --- | --- | | Homebrew | brew install --cask safedep/tap/vet@edge | | mise | mise use -g 'github:safedep/vet[prerelease=true]@2' | | Go | go install github.com/safedep/vet/v2/cmd/vet@latest | | Container | docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/src" -w /src ghcr.io/safedep/vet:v2-latest scan | mise installs a release one day after its publication. install.md has the command for the newest build, the release binaries and the build attestations. What vet scans | Target | Example | | --- | --- | | A directory (the default) | vet scan, vet scan ./service | | A git repository | vet scan https://github.com/safedep/vet | | A container image | vet scan oci://alpine:3.20, vet scan image.tar | | An SBOM (CycloneDX or SPDX) | vet scan sbom.cdx.json | | One package | vet scan pkg:npm/express@4.19.2 | | The tools on this machine | vet endpoint audit | vet reads the lockfiles and manifests of npm, PyPI, Go, Maven, Gradle, Cargo, RubyGems, NuGet, Packagist, Pub and more. It also reads the GitHub Actions workflows and the AI agent configs of the target. It does not install or run any of them. Controls turn this data into findings. See controls.md. Policy A policy decides when a scan fails. Save this file as vet-policy.yml: `yaml version: 2 rules: - id: no-malware description: A malicious or suspicious package fails the build.
