ScanReq
Find outdated deps and CVEs across 8 ecosystems in VS Code
ScanReq scans your project for security vulnerabilities and outdated packages directly inside VS Code. It checks versions against public registries in real time and detects known CVEs via OSV.dev. Supports Python, Node.js, Rust, Go, PHP, Ruby, and Java (Maven & Gradle). Free plan covers all ecosystems with full CVE detection. Pro ($19 one-time) adds cross-version compatibility analysis and risk-phased update planning.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built ScanReq because I was tired of checking dependencies manually. To prove it works, I scanned repos you've probably used:
- rails/rails → 89 outdated packages, 7 CVEs (5 HIGH on rack)
- cli/cli (GitHub CLI) → 49 outdated, 177 Go modules parsed
- veloren/veloren (Rust) → 28 outdated, 4 CVEs
To verify the results weren't just noise, I manually checked every dependency on veloren (~60 packages) — going to crates.io for versions and osv.dev for CVEs one by one. It took me about 4 hours. ScanReq does it in 8 seconds.
If you don't trust the results, pick any CVE ID from a scan and paste it into osv.dev. The data is all public.
The free tier covers everything most developers need. Pro ($19, one-time payment) adds compatibility analysis and safe update paths for teams that need to plan upgrades carefully.
Happy to answer any questions!
