  1 vulnerable, 2 abandoned, 42 ok

  to fix:
    pip install Django==5.2.15

that's a real scan of NetBox — used in production by NVIDIA, Cloudflare, and thousands of others.

the problem with existing tools

pip-audit and npm audit exist. but:

• they audit the wrong environment when you're inside a venv
• they show 40 CVEs with no context — developers learn to ignore them
• they don't know if a package is abandoned (no CVE required to be dangerous)
• they're single-language — mixed projects need multiple tools

depwise fixes all of this.

install

pip install depheal

no account. no api key. no config file. works immediately.

usage

# scan current directory
depwise

# scan any directory from anywhere
depwise scan ./myproject
depwise scan ~/anyproject

# explain a specific package
depwise why requests
depwise why flask --version 2.2.0

# list all packages found
depwise list

# use in CI/CD — exits with code 1 if issues found
depwise scan --strict

works with:

• requirements.txt
• pyproject.toml
• package.json

what makes it different

detects abandoned packages — a package with no CVE but no maintainer is still a risk. depwise checks last commit dates and deprecation notices. existing tools don't.

right environment — automatically detects your active venv and scans that. pip-audit scans the wrong python when you're inside a venv.

one output — python and javascript in the same project, one scan, one report.

zero noise — shows what matters. one line per package. plain english.

zero dependencies — pure python stdlib. nothing to break. works everywhere python works.

how it works

• reads your dependency files
• detects your active virtual environment automatically
• queries OSV for known CVEs — free, no key needed
• checks PyPI and npm registry for abandoned/deprecated packages
• shows you what matters, not everything
