depaudit

Inspect and triage npm/yarn/pnpm dependency vulnerabilities in the terminal.

Why depaudit?

• Turn noisy audit output into a fast, navigable TUI
• Filter by severity / production dependencies
• Open advisories, jump from issue -> package -> dependency context

Usage

Run it in a project directory; depaudit auto-detects the package manager from your lockfile.

Package Managers

Works with projects that use:

• npm (package-lock.json)
• yarn (yarn.lock)
• pnpm (pnpm-lock.yaml)

It shells out to the corresponding CLI (npm, yarn, or pnpm) to obtain audit data, so that tool must be installed and available in PATH.

You can force a choice with --npm, --yarn, or --pnpm.

Troubleshooting

• No results / can’t detect project: run from a folder that contains a lockfile, or pass --npm / --yarn / --pnpm.
• “command not found” for npm/yarn/pnpm: install the package manager you use and ensure it’s in PATH.
• macOS “untrusted app” warning: expected for unsigned binaries; use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
