This section lists several tools that can used to analyze the dependencies used by a project in order to detect the vulnerabilities. It's important to ensure, during the selection process of a vulnerable dependency detection tool, that this one Uses several reliable input sources in order to handle both vulnerability disclosure ways. Support for flagging an issue raised on a component as a false-positive. Free OWASP Dependency Check: Full support: Java, .Net. Experimental support: Python, Ruby, PHP (composer), NodeJS, C, C++.
