Viewing and updating Dependabot alerts

If GitHub Enterprise Server discovers insecure dependencies in your project, you can view details on the Dependabot alerts tab of your repository. Then, you can update your project to resolve or dismiss the alert.

Who can use this feature

Repository administrators and organization owners can view and update dependencies, as well as users and teams with explicit access.

Your repository's Dependabot alerts tab lists all open and closed Dependabot alerts. You can sort the list of alerts, and you can click into specific alerts for more details. You can also dismiss or reopen alerts. For more information, see "About Dependabot alerts."

Viewing Dependabot alerts

  1. En your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, vaya a la página principal del repositorio.
  2. En el nombre del repositorio, haga clic en Security. Pestaña Seguridad
  3. En la barra lateral de seguridad, haga clic en Dependabot alerts . Si falta esta opción, significa que no tiene acceso a las alertas de seguridad y se le debe proporcionar. Para más información, vea "Administración de la configuración de seguridad y análisis del repositorio".Dependabot alerts tab
  4. Click the alert you'd like to view. Alert selected in list of alerts

Reviewing and fixing alerts

It’s important to ensure that all of your dependencies are clean of any security weaknesses. When Dependabot discovers vulnerabilities in your dependencies, you should assess your project’s level of exposure and determine what remediation steps to take to secure your application.

If a patched version of the dependency is available, you can generate a Dependabot pull request to update this dependency directly from a Dependabot alert. If you have Dependabot security updates enabled, the pull request may be linked will in the Dependabot alert.

In cases where a patched version is not available, or you can’t update to the secure version, Dependabot shares additional information to help you determine next steps. When you click through to view a Dependabot alert, you can see the full details of the security advisory for the dependency including the affected functions. You can then check whether your code calls the impacted functions. This information can help you further assess your risk level, and determine workarounds or if you’re able to accept the risk represented by the security advisory.

Fixing vulnerable dependencies

  1. View the details for an alert. For more information, see "Viewing Dependabot alerts" (above).

  2. You can use the information on the page to decide which version of the dependency to upgrade to and create a pull request to the manifest or lock file to a secure version.

  3. When you're ready to update your dependency and resolve the vulnerability, merge the pull request.

Dismissing Dependabot alerts

Tip: You can only dismiss open alerts.

If you schedule extensive work to upgrade a dependency, or decide that an alert does not need to be fixed, you can dismiss the alert. Dismissing alerts that you have already assessed makes it easier to triage new alerts as they appear.

  1. View the details for an alert. For more information, see "Viewing vulnerable dependencies" (above).

  2. Select the "Dismiss" dropdown, and click a reason for dismissing the alert.
