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.
  • dotnet Global Tool for those who want to run it manually or just in the CI
  • Transitive Dependency Checking
    • SDK style projects only (older project format is not supported by the dotnet cli)
    • Uses the versions resolved by the dotnet cli at build
  • Project Reference Scanning
    • Scan all projects in a hierarchy by installing NuGet Defense to the top level package
  • Allow breaking the build based on severity of vulnerability.
  • Ignore specific vulnerabilities/packages.
  • Sensitive/Internal Packages filtering
    • Don't send packages that are sensitive/internal to remote vulnerability sources
  • Caching to prevent excess calls and hitting rate limits on API's
  • Blocklisting NuGet Packages
  • Allowlisting NuGet Packages
  • MIT Licensed
    • Consumable NuGet packages for bundling NuGetDefense scanners into your own software

Requirements

  • NuGetDefense v3.x is built only in .Net 6.0 so you will need the runtime/SDK installed.
  • NuGetDefense v4.x is built only in .Net 8.0 so you will need the runtime/SDK installed.

Unsupported Versions

  • Official Support follows support for the underlying framework.
  • Supporters can request support of unsupported versions (such as v2.x running on .Net 5) but are advised to use a supported runtime (for better overall security)
    • older .Net projects can use 4.x as long as the .Net 8 runtime is installed.

How does it work?

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