Dependabot

A GitHub feature that alerts on vulnerable dependencies and automatically opens pull requests to update them.

Definition

Dependabot alerts use the GitHub Advisory Database and the dependency graph; security updates and version updates are configured via .github/dependabot.yml with ecosystems and schedules.

Example

dependabot.yml schedules weekly pip and github-actions updates.

Exam tip

Dependabot handles dependency vulnerabilities (SCA); CodeQL handles your own code (SAST).
