CVE Lite CLI closes dependency gap — but won't stop modern threats

The article introduces OWASP's CVE Lite CLI — a local lockfile scanner that helps developers prioritize and remediate known dependency CVEs and integrates into daily workflows — while highlighting its limits: lockfile/CVE scanning only finds known vulnerabilities and will not detect supply-chain compromises such as backdoored packages or credential-theft in build pipelines (citing incidents like 32 backdoored Red Hat npm packages), so behavioral and artifact analysis remain necessary.
