OWASP Incubator Releases CVE Lite CLI: Free Open-Source Dependency Vulnerability Scanner

The OWASP Incubator Project released CVE Lite CLI, a free, open-source command-line tool that scans project dependencies for known CVEs in seconds with precise package-level attribution. The tool addresses a common developer workflow gap where vulnerability scanning is slow, expensive, or requires licensed tooling. CVE Lite CLI can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines or run locally as part of a pre-commit check. Development teams looking for lightweight, no-cost dependency scanning should evaluate it as a complement to or replacement for heavier SAST/SCA tooling.
