Node.js Dependency Security on Vercel Vercel
Scan npm packages for CVEs in Vercel deployments. Catch vulnerable dependencies before deploying to production.
npm security on Vercel
Add npm audit to your Vercel build command to block deploys with critical CVEs.
# In vercel.json, override the build command:
{
"buildCommand": "npm audit --audit-level=critical && npm run build"
}
# Or in package.json scripts:
"scripts": {
"vercel-build": "npm audit --audit-level=high && next build"
}
✓ Manual Scan
For a quick one-off scan before deployment, paste your package.json into PackageFix — no pipeline setup needed.
Scan your dependencies now — paste your manifest, get a fixed version back in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add dependency scanning to Vercel?
Add OSV Scanner or the ecosystem-specific audit tool to your Vercel build configuration. The config snippet above works out of the box.
Does PackageFix integrate with CI/CD pipelines?
PackageFix is a browser tool for manual scans. For automated CI scanning, use OSV Scanner (Google) or pip-audit/npm audit in your pipeline. PackageFix generates the Renovate config and GitHub Actions workflow you can copy.
How do I fail a Vercel build on critical CVEs?
Add --audit-level=critical to npm audit, or --fail-on=critical to pip-audit. The pipeline aborts if critical CVEs are found.
What is the OSV Scanner?
OSV Scanner is Google's open-source CLI tool that queries the same OSV database PackageFix uses. It's ideal for CI/CD integration.
