The Dependency Risk Calculator helps development teams evaluate security risks in their software supply chain. Analyze vulnerabilities, outdated packages, unmaintained dependencies, and license compliance issues. Based on OWASP Dependency-Check methodology and industry best practices.
Dependency risk assessment evaluates security exposure from third-party packages and libraries used in your project. The calculator scores risk across seven factors: Critical Vulnerabilities (35%), High Vulnerabilities (25%), Medium Vulnerabilities (10%), Outdated Dependencies (10%), Unmaintained Packages (10%), License Issues (5%), and Supply Chain Depth (5%). This weighted approach prioritizes security-critical factors while addressing maintenance and compliance concerns.
Risk Score Calculation
Risk Score = Σ(Factor Score × Factor Weight)78% of vulnerabilities come from dependencies. Identifying and remediating vulnerable packages reduces your attack surface and breach likelihood.
Outdated and unmaintained dependencies accumulate technical debt and security risk. Regular assessment ensures your dependency footprint remains healthy.
Complex transitive dependency chains increase exposure. Understanding your supply chain depth helps you manage and minimize indirect risk.
Incompatible licenses can create legal risk. Identifying license issues early prevents compliance problems and potential litigation.
Risk scores below 20 (Grade A, Minimal Risk) indicate excellent dependency health. Scores of 21-40 (Grade B, Low Risk) are acceptable for most projects. Medium risk (41-60, Grade C) requires planned remediation. Scores above 60 indicate significant security concerns requiring immediate attention.
