OWASP Project Spotlight: CVE Lite CLI
Finding a vulnerability is one thing. Knowing what to fix, why it is vulnerable, and how to fix it without breaking everything else* is where things get interesting.
In this episode of the OWASP Project Spotlight Series, we explore OWASP CVE Lite CLI with Sonu Kapoorโ a local-first vulnerability scanner designed to make dependency security more actionable for developers.
We talk about:
๐น Why CVE Lite CLI was created
๐น Moving beyond simply reporting CVE IDs
๐น Direct vs. transitive dependency vulnerabilities
๐น Understanding dependency paths
๐น Reachability and why context matters
๐น Practical remediation guidance
๐น Auto-fix and override hygiene
๐น Offline and local-first security scanning
๐น JSON, HTML and SARIF reporting
๐น License and supply-chain considerations
๐น Where the project is heading next
๐น How the OWASP community can contribute

As always, OWASP projects grow through community participation. Explore the project, test it, challenge it, open an issue, contribute code or documentation, and help make it better.
