safety 1.2.0

Safety checks your installed dependencies for known security vulnerabilities.

[](https://pyup.io/repos/github/pyupio/safety/)

Safety checks your installed dependencies for known security vulnerabilities.

By default it uses the open Python vulnerability database [Safety DB](https://github.com/pyupio/safety-db),
but can be upgraded to use pyup.io's [Safety API](https://github.com/pyupio/safety/blob/master/docs/api_key.md) using the `--key` option.

# Installation

Install `safety` with pip

```bash
pip install safety
```

# Usage

To check your currently selected virtual environment for dependencies with known security
vulnerabilites, run:

```bash
safety check
```

You should get a report similar to this:
```bash
╒══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕

│ REPORT │

```

Now, let's install something insecure:

```bash
pip install insecure-package
```
*Yeah, you can really install that.*

Run `safety check` again:
```bash

```

## From files
Just like pip, Safety is able to read local requirement files:

```bash
safety check -r requirements.txt
```

## From stdin
Safety is also able to read from stdin with the `--stdin` flag set.

To check a local requirements file, run:
```
cat requirements.txt | safety check --stdin
```

or the output of `pip freeze`:
```
pip freeze | safety check --stdin
```

or to check a single package:
```
echo "insecure-package==0.1" | safety check --stdin
```

## Using Safety with a CI service

Safety works great in your CI pipeline. It returns a non-zero exit status if it finds a vulnerability.

Run it before or after your tests. If Safety finds something, your tests will fail.

**Travis**
```
install:
- pip install safety

script:
- safety check
```

**Deep GitHub Integration**

If you are looking for a deep integration with your GitHub repositories: Safety is available as a
part of [pyup.io](https://pyup.io/), called [Safety CI](https://pyup.io/safety/ci/). Safety CI
checks your commits and pull requests for dependencies with known security vulnerabilities
and displays a status on GitHub.



# Using Safety in production

Safety is free and open source (MIT Licensed). The underlying open vulnerability database is updated once per month.

To get access to all vulnerabilites as soon as they are added, you need a [Safety API key](https://github.com/pyupio/safety/blob/master/docs/api_key.md) that comes with a paid [pyup.io](https://pyup.io) account, starting at $14.99 for individuals, or $49.99 for organizations.


=======
History
=======

1.3.0 (2017-04-06)
------------------

* Added `--bare` output format.
* Added a couple of help text to the command line interface.
* Fixed a bug that caused requirement files with unpinned dependencies to fail when using
a recent setuptools release.

1.2.0 (2017-04-06)
------------------

* Added JSON as an output format. Use it with the `--json` flag. Thanks @Stype.

1.1.1 (2017-03-27)
------------------

* Fixed terminal size detection when fed via stdin.

1.1.0 (2017-03-23)
------------------

* Compatibility release. Safety should now run on macOs, Linux and Windows with Python 2.7, 3.3-3.6.
Python 2.6 support is available on a best-effort basis on Linux.

1.0.2 (2017-03-23)
------------------

* Fixed another error on Python 2. The fallback function for get_terminal_size wasn't working correctly.

1.0.1 (2017-03-23)
------------------

* Fixed an error on Python 2, FileNotFoundError was introduced in Python 3.

1.0.0 (2017-03-22)
------------------

* Added terminal size detection. Terminals with fewer than 80 columns should now display nicer reports.
* Added an option to load the database from the filesystem or a mirror that's reachable via http(s).
This can be done by using the --db flag.
* Added an API Key option that uses pyup.io's vulnerability database.
* Added an option to cache the database locally for 2 hours. The default still is to not use the cache. Use the --cache flag.


0.6.0 (2017-03-10)
------------------

* Made the requirements parser more robust. The parser should no longer fail on editable requirements
and requirements that are supplied by package URL.
* Running safety requires setuptools >= 16

0.5.1 (2016-11-08)
------------------

* Fixed a bug where not all requirement files were read correctly.
