Note

Come and join us at SafetyCLI. We are hiring for various roles.

Introduction

Safety CLI is a Python dependency vulnerability scanner designed to enhance software supply chain security by detecting packages with known vulnerabilities and malicious packages in local development environments, CI/CD, and production systems. Safety CLI can be deployed in minutes and provides clear, actionable recommendations for remediation of detected vulnerabilities.

Leveraging the industry's most comprehensive database of vulnerabilities and malicious packages, Safety CLI Scanner allows teams to detect vulnerabilities at every stage of the software development lifecycle.

Key Features

  • Versatile, comprehensive dependency security scanning for Python packages.
  • Leverages Safety DB, the most comprehensive vulnerability data available for Python.
  • Clear output with detailed recommendations for vulnerability remediation.
  • Automatically updates requirements files to secure versions of dependencies where available, guided by your project's policy settings.
  • Scanning of individual requirements files and project directories or system-wide scans on developer machines, CI/CD pipelines, and Production systems to detect vulnerable or malicious dependencies.
  • JSON, SBOM, HTML and text output.
  • Easy integration with CI/CD pipelines, including GitHub Actions.
  • Enterprise Ready: Safety CLI can be deployed to large teams with complex project setups with ease, on-premise or as a SaaS product.

Upon creating an account, a 7-day free trial of our Team plan is offered to new users, after which they will be downgraded to our Free plan. This plan is limited to a single user and is not recommended for commercial purposes.

Our paid plans for commercial use begin at just $25 per seat per month and allow scans to be performed using our full vulnerability database, complete with 3x more tracked vulnerabilities and malicious packages than our free plan and other providers.

Supported Python Versions

Safety CLI 3 supports Python versions >=3.7. Further details on supported versions, as well as options to run Safety CLI on versions <3.7 using a Docker image are available in our Documentation Hub.

We maintain a policy of supporting all maintained and secure versions of Python, plus one minor version below the oldest maintained and secure version. Details on Python versions that meet these criteria can be found here: https://endoflife.date/python.
