triaging-vulnerable-dependencies

triaging-vulnerable-dependencies is a skill for Claude Code from gnana997/bumper. It costs 91 tokens per session (660 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A dependency-safety workflow that scans lockfiles for known security flaws and packages identified as malicious. A lockfile records the exact dependency versions a project installs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or upgrading packages or editing files such as `package-lock.json` and `yarn.lock` to review findings and choose a safer version.
Why use it?
It helps prevent a project from installing a vulnerable or harmful package during dependency changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

triaging-vulnerable-dependencies scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Triaging vulnerable dependencies with bumper

bumper scans dependencies for known vulnerabilities and known-malicious packages, using the bumper Advisor for data. It needs the bumper CLI on PATH (https://github.com/gnana997/bumper). If a package is flagged malicious, do not install it.

Workflow

  1. Scan the lockfile(s):

    bumper deps                       # auto-detect lockfiles in the current directory
    bumper deps --json path/to/lock   # machine-readable findings for one file
    

    Exit codes: 0 = clean, 1 = findings present, 2 = usage error.

  2. For each finding, get authoritative detail. Prefer the bumper-advisor MCP when connected (use fully-qualified tool names):

    • bumper-advisor:lookup_cve — CVEs affecting a specific package + version (args: ecosystem, package, version)
    • bumper-advisor:get_vuln — full detail for one advisory id (CVE/GHSA)
    • bumper-advisor:check_malware — reputation of a package (is it malware?)
    • bumper-advisor:search_cve — search CVEs by keyword/ecosystem

    If the MCP is not connected, fall back to the CLI: bumper deps --json ….

  3. Decide per finding:

    • Malicious package → do NOT install. Remove it; find a trusted alternative.
    • Vulnerable, fix available → upgrade to the lowest version that clears the advisory (lookup_cve / get_vuln list fixed versions).
    • Vulnerable, no fix → surface the risk to the user; pin and isolate, or drop the dependency. Do not silently proceed.
  4. Apply the fix and re-scan (repeat until clean): a. Update the manifest/lockfile to the chosen version. b. bumper deps. c. If findings remain, return to (a).

Example

Adding lodash:

  1. bumper depsHIGH: lodash 4.17.4 (prototype pollution).
  2. bumper-advisor:lookup_cve ecosystem=npm package=lodash version=4.17.4 → fixed in 4.17.12.
  3. Bump to lodash ^4.17.21, re-run bumper deps → clean. Install.
