Scanning NuGet Packages for Vulnerabilities in .NET
The .NET SDK ships a built-in vulnerability scanner: dotnet list package --vulnerable. Here is how to audit NuGet dependencies with it — and where to go beyond it.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

How NuGet supply chain attacks work, from dependency confusion to typosquatting, and the concrete controls, lock files, source mapping, and signing, that lock down your .NET build.
Vulnerable and Outdated Components rank #6 in the OWASP Top 10 (2021). A deep dive into transitive risk, real CVEs like Log4Shell, and how to fix it in 2026.
Pillow is the default image library for Python — and because it parses untrusted image bytes and once shipped an eval-based ImageMath, it has a long, real CVE history spanning arbitrary code execution and native buffer overflows.
When your security rules live in a wiki, they are advice. When they live in version-controlled code the pipeline enforces, they are controls. Here is how to move security policy into code that actually runs.
Prototype pollution turns a single crafted JSON key into process-wide corruption — and it has escalated to RCE in real Node.js apps. Here is how the attack works and four layers of defense that stop it.
Every time Python code shells out with user input, an attacker gets a vote on what the shell runs. The fix is almost always to stop using the shell at all.
Reachability analysis decides whether a vulnerable function in a dependency is actually called by your code. Here are the common questions, answered plainly.
