Offensive security testing customized for Dependency and Package Review risk profiles. Uncover critical vulnerabilities with our dedicated Dependency Security Review experts.
Free Scoping CallDependency and Package Review delivery and security model
Release-oriented review for open-source packages, transitive dependencies, known vulnerabilities, abandoned libraries, and package integrity risks.
Focus areas
- Direct and transitive dependencies
- Known vulnerabilities and exploit maturity
- Abandoned or suspicious packages
- Upgrade risk and breaking changes
Delivery notes
- The output is actionable, not just a CVE list
- Critical packages are prioritized by usage path
- Repeatable pipeline controls are recommended
Decision matrix
Dependency and Package Review is not just a service label; it states how each control is validated and which evidence is expected at closure.
| Control | Decision question | Validation | Expected evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct and transitive dependencies | Does Direct and transitive dependencies create real risk? | Validated against the relevant code, request, configuration, or runtime behavior in Dependency Security Review. | The output is actionable, not just a CVE list |
| Known vulnerabilities and exploit maturity | Does Known vulnerabilities and exploit maturity create real risk? | Validated against the relevant code, request, configuration, or runtime behavior in Dependency Security Review. | Critical packages are prioritized by usage path |
| Abandoned or suspicious packages | Does Abandoned or suspicious packages create real risk? | Validated against the relevant code, request, configuration, or runtime behavior in Dependency Security Review. | Repeatable pipeline controls are recommended |
| Upgrade risk and breaking changes | Does Upgrade risk and breaking changes create real risk? | Validated against the relevant code, request, configuration, or runtime behavior in Dependency Security Review. | The output is actionable, not just a CVE list |
What if Direct and transitive dependencies fails?
Eresus maps this area to real user-flow or delivery-pipeline impact, so the finding is not left as a generic technical label.
What if Known vulnerabilities and exploit maturity fails?
Eresus maps this area to real user-flow or delivery-pipeline impact, so the finding is not left as a generic technical label.
What if Abandoned or suspicious packages fails?
Eresus maps this area to real user-flow or delivery-pipeline impact, so the finding is not left as a generic technical label.

Frequently Asked Questions
What decision does Dependency and Package Review clarify?
Dependency and Package Review clarifies exploitability, affected workflows, and release impact for Dependency Security Review with evidence rather than scanner noise.
What evidence is included in Dependency and Package Review?
The output is actionable, not just a CVE list Also, Critical packages are prioritized by usage path. Retest criteria and ownership notes are included for closure.
How is this different from an automated scanner report?
Automated findings are not forwarded as-is; false positives are removed, abuse paths are proven, and remediation priority is explained.
