Why this tool?

When having applications deployed in your environment, not all of those may be installed via a package manager. When your infrastructure grows, it becomes even harder to know which tools are properly patched and which ones are not. For Python applications, this is where Safety comes in that can help scan installed software components via pip. It will also look at any of the dependencies that are installed.

How it works

To perform a scan, provide a Python requirements file or the output of 'pip freeze'. Then any installed components will be compared with a database. Different sources, like the changelog, will be used to determine which package has a particular issue.

Usage and audience

Safety is commonly used for penetration testing, security assessment, security monitoring, or vulnerability scanning. Target users for this tool are developers, pentesters, and security professionals.

Features

  • Command line interface
  • Integration with continuous integration/delivery (CI/CD)
  • Tool allows multiple integrations
