Safety - Check Your Installed Dependencies For Known Security Vulnerabilities
Safety checks your installed dependencies for known security vulnerabilities.
By default it uses the open Python vulnerability database Safety DB, but can be upgraded to use pyup.io's Safety API using the
--key option.Installation
Install
safety with pip. Keep in mind that we support only Python 3.5 and up. Look at Python 2.7 section at the end of this document.pip install safetyUsage
To check your currently selected virtual environment for dependencies with known security vulnerabilites, run:

+==========================+===============+===================+===============+Examples
Read requirement files
Just like pip, Safety is able to read local requirement files:
safety check -r requirements.txtRead from stdin
Safety is also able to read from stdin with the
--stdin flag set.To check a local requirements file, run:
cat requirements.txt | safety check --stdinpip freeze:pip freeze | safety check --stdinecho "insecure-package==0.1" | safety check --stdinUsing Safety in Docker
Safety can be easily executed as Docker container. It can be used just as described in the examples section.
echo "insecure-package==0.1" | docker run -i --rm pyupio/safety safety check --stdin
cat requirements.txt | docker run -i --rm pyupio/safety safety check --stdinUsing the Safety binaries
The Safety binaries provide some extra security.
After installation, they can be used just like the regular command line version of Safety.
Using Safety with a CI service
Safety works great in your CI pipeline. It returns a non-zero exit status if it finds a vulnerability.
Run it before or after your tests. If Safety finds something, your tests will fail.

pytestIf you are looking for a deep integration with your GitHub repositories: Safety is available as a part of pyup.io, called Safety CI. Safety CI checks your commits and pull requests for dependencies with known security vulnerabilities and displays a status on GitHub.
Using Safety in production
Safety is free and open source (MIT Licensed). The underlying open vulnerability database is updated once per month.
To get access to all vulnerabilites as soon as they are added, you need a Safety API key that comes with a paid pyup.io account, starting at $99 for organizations.
Options
--keyAPI Key for pyup.io's vulnerability database. Can be set as
SAFETY_API_KEY environment variable.Example
safety check --key=12345-ABCDEFGH--dbPath to a directory with a local vulnerability database including
insecure.json and insecure_full.jsonExample
safety check --db=/home/safety-db/data--proxy-hostProxy host IP or DNS
--proxy-portProxy port number
--proxy-protocolProxy protocol (https or http)
--jsonOutput vulnerabilities in JSON format.
Example
safety check --json[
[

"<1.2.2",
"1.2",
"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Django 1.2.x before 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a csrfmiddlewaretoken (aka csrf_token) cookie.",
"25701"
]
]--full-reportFull reports include a security advisory (if available).

This tool requires latest Python patch versions starting with version 3.5. We did support Python 2.7 in the past but, as for other Python 3.x minor versions, it reached its End-Of-Life and as such we are not able to support it anymore.
We understand you might still have Python 2.7 projects running. At the same time, Safety itself has a commitment to encourage developers to keep their software up-to-date, and it would not make sense for us to work with officially unsupported Python versions, or even those that reached their end of life.
If you still need to run Safety from a Python 2.7 environment, please use version 1.8.7 available at PyPi. Alternatively, you can run Safety from a Python 3 environment to check the requirements file for your Python 2.7 project.
