dependency-risk-assessment

dependency-risk-assessment is a skill for Claude Code from HermeticOrmus/LibreSecOps-Claude-Code. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,923 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for ranking risks in software dependencies by combining vulnerability severity with context such as reachability, dependency depth, maintainer health, license compatibility, and provenance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prioritize dependency fixes based on whether vulnerable code can actually be reached, how it is used, and how trustworthy or maintainable the package is.
Why use it?
A serious-looking vulnerability may not affect your application, while a less severe issue in an exposed package may deserve immediate attention.

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

dependency-risk-assessment 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 12d 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.

Dependency Risk Assessment

Methodology for scoring and prioritizing dependency risk across vulnerability history, maintainer health, dependency depth, license compatibility, and provenance.

Knowledge Base

Why Risk Scoring Matters

Not all dependency vulnerabilities are equal. A critical CVE in a deeply nested, never-called transitive dependency is lower risk than a medium-severity issue in a direct dependency that processes user input. Risk assessment applies context to raw vulnerability data so teams fix what matters first.

Risk Dimensions

1. Vulnerability Exposure

  • Known CVEs (NVD, OSV, GitHub Advisory Database)
  • CVSS v3.1 base score (severity of the vulnerability itself)
  • EPSS score (probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, based on real-world data)
  • CISA KEV status (confirmed active exploitation in the wild)
  • Time since disclosure (unpatched for longer = higher risk)
  • Patch availability (fix exists but not applied vs. no fix exists)

2. Reachability

  • Is the vulnerable function/method actually called by your code?
  • Is the vulnerable code path reachable through your application's entry points?
  • Does your configuration enable the vulnerable feature?
  • Static analysis (call graph) vs. dynamic analysis (runtime tracing)

3. Maintainer Health

  • Last commit date (>12 months without activity = concern)
  • Number of active maintainers (bus factor)
  • Issue and PR response time
  • Whether the maintainer has enabled 2FA (npm audit signatures)
  • Maintainer account age and reputation
  • History of security response (how quickly past CVEs were patched)

4. Dependency Depth and Breadth

  • Direct dependency vs. transitive (and how many levels deep)
  • Number of downstream dependents (high-value target for attackers)
  • Number of own transitive dependencies (larger attack surface)
  • Whether the dependency is a build-time-only or runtime dependency

5. License Risk

  • Copyleft licenses (GPL, AGPL) in proprietary codebases
  • License incompatibility between dependencies
  • Missing or ambiguous license declarations
  • "UNLICENSED" or custom license terms requiring legal review

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

dependency-risk-assessment is a skill published in the GitHub repository HermeticOrmus/LibreSecOps-Claude-Code (4 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 1,923 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
