pip-audit
is a tool for scanning Python environments for packages
with known vulnerabilities. It uses the Python Packaging Advisory Database
(https://github.com/pypa/advisory-db) via the
PyPI JSON API as a source
of vulnerability reports.
This project is developed by Trail of Bits with support from Google. This is not an official Google product.
pip-audit
requires Python 3.6 or newer, and can be installed directly via
pip
:
python -m pip install pip-audit
usage: pip-audit [-h] [-V] [-l] [-r REQUIREMENTS] [-f FORMAT] [-s SERVICE]
[-d] [-S] [--desc {on,off,auto}] [--cache-dir CACHE_DIR]
[--progress-spinner {on,off}] [--timeout TIMEOUT]
audit the Python environment for dependencies with known vulnerabilities
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-V, --version show program's version number and exit
-l, --local show only results for dependencies in the local
environment (default: False)
-r REQUIREMENTS, --requirement REQUIREMENTS
audit the given requirements file; this option can be
used multiple times (default: None)
-f FORMAT, --format FORMAT
the format to emit audit results in (choices: columns,
json, cyclonedx-json, cyclonedx-xml) (default:
columns)
-s SERVICE, --vulnerability-service SERVICE
the vulnerability service to audit dependencies
against (choices: osv, pypi) (default: pypi)
-d, --dry-run collect all dependencies but do not perform the
auditing step (default: False)
-S, --strict fail the entire audit if dependency collection fails
on any dependency (default: False)
--desc {on,off,auto} include a description for each vulnerability; `auto`
defaults to `on` for the `json` format. This flag has
no effect on the `cyclonedx-json` or `cyclonedx-xml`
formats. (default: auto)
--cache-dir CACHE_DIR
the directory to use as an HTTP cache for PyPI; uses
the `pip` HTTP cache by default (default: None)
--progress-spinner {on,off}
display a progress spinner (default: on)
--timeout TIMEOUT set the socket timeout (default: 15)
Audit dependencies for the current Python environment:
$ pip-audit
No known vulnerabilities found
Audit dependencies for a given requirements file:
$ pip-audit -r ./requirements.txt
No known vulnerabilities found
Audit dependencies for the current Python environment excluding system packages:
$ pip-audit -r ./requirements.txt -l
No known vulnerabilities found
Audit dependencies when there are vulnerabilities present:
$ pip-audit

Flask 0.5 PYSEC-2019-179 1.0 The Pallets Project Flask before 1.0 is affected by: unexpected memory usage. The impact is: denial of service. The attack vector is: crafted encoded JSON data. The fixed version is: 1. NOTE: this may overlap CVE-2018-1000656.
Flask 0.5 PYSEC-2018-66 0.12.3 The Pallets Project flask version Before 0.12.3 contains a CWE-20: Improper Input Validation vulnerability in flask that can result in Large amount of memory usage possibly leading to denial of service. This attack appear to be exploitable via Attacker provides JSON data in incorrect encoding. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 0.12.3. NOTE: this may overlap CVE-2019-1010083.
Audit dependencies in JSON format:
$ pip-audit -f json | jq
