Safety (Python Dependency Scanner)

Definition

Safety is a Python vulnerability scanner that checks installed packages and requirements files against a curated database of known security vulnerabilities. It is commonly used in Python CI/CD pipelines and pre-commit hooks to detect vulnerable dependencies before deployment.

Safety's database includes CVEs and vulnerabilities not yet in public NVD records, providing earlier detection for Python-specific security issues.
