An MSBuildTask that checks for known vulnerabilities. Inspired by OWASP SafeNuGet.

Why a new Project?

  1. SafeNuGet hasn't seen a new commit in years and isn't able to keep up with vulnerable packages.
  2. SafeNuGet doesn't have a license (at all).
  3. A pure MSBuild task should not use dependencies and cannot get the desired results without them.

Features

  • Uses Multiple Sources to check for known vulnerabilities in third-party libraries (NuGet packages)
  • Simple installation/configuration: the NuGet Package is all you need.
  • Checks dependencies of installed packages based on the target framework.
  • Allow breaking the build based on severity of vulnerability.
  • Ignore specific vulnerabilities/packages.
  • Blacklisting NuGet Packages
  • Whitelisting NuGet Packages
  • MIT Licensed

Requirements

Currently NuGetDefense is built only in .Net Core 3.1 so you will need the runtime/SDK installed.

How does it work?

NuGetDefense is a bundled dotnet tool that runs using an MSBuild ExecTask after your project finishes building.
