# dependency-review-action

This action scans your pull requests for dependency changes and will raise an error if any new dependencies have existing vulnerabilities. The action is supported by an [API endpoint](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/dependency-graph#dependency-review) that diffs the dependencies between any two revisions.

The action is available for all public repositories, as well as private repositories that have Github Advanced Security licensed.
