The direct dependency has not released a patch.\n\n**Approach**:\n1. Use `snyk test --json` and examine the dependency path to identify which direct dependency pulls in the vulnerable transitive\n2. Check exploit maturity: if \"Mature\" or \"Proof of Concept\", prioritize immediately\n3. If no direct fix exists, use Snyk's patch mechanism or override the transitive version in the build config\n4. For Maven: add `<dependencyManagement>` section to force the safe version of the transitive dependency\n5. For npm: add an `overrides` section in package.json to pin the safe version\n6. Add a Snyk ignore with expiration date if no patch is available yet\n7. Monitor the direct dependency for a release that updates the transitive\n\n**Pitfalls**: Ignoring transitive vulnerabilities because \"we don't use that function directly\" is risky. Attackers can chain vulnerabilities across dependency boundaries. Version overrides can break API compatibility between the direct and transitive dependency.\n\n## Output Format\n\n```\nSnyk Dependency Scan Report\n=============================\nProject: org/web-application\nManifest: package.json\nDependencies: 342 (47 direct, 295 transitive)\nScan Date: 2026-02-23\n\nVULNERABILITY SUMMARY:\n  Critical: 1  (1 fixable)\n  High: 4      (3 fixable)\n  Medium: 12   (8 fixable)\n  Low: 23      (15 fixable)\n\nCRITICAL:\n  SNYK-JS-EXPRESS-1234567\n    Package: express@4.17.1 (direct)\n    Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.8)\n    Exploit: Mature\n    Fix: Upgrade to express@4.21.0\n    Path: express@4.17.1\n\nHIGH:\n  SNYK-JS-JSONWEBTOKEN-5678901\n    Package: jsonwebtoken@8.5.1 (transitive)\n    Severity: High (CVSS 7.6)\n    Exploit: Proof of Concept\n    Fix: Upgrade passport@0.7.0 (which upgrades jsonwebtoken)\n    Path: passport@0.6.0 > jsonwebtoken@8.5.1\n\nLICENSE ISSUES:\n  [RESTRICTED] GPL-3.0: some-package@1.2.3 (transitive via other-pkg)\n\nQUALITY GATE: FAILED (1 Critical with fix available)\n```\n\n## Other files in this skill\n\n- [LICENSE](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/HEAD/skills/performing-sca-dependency-scanning-with-snyk/LICENSE)\n- [assets/template.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/HEAD/skills/performing-sca-dependency-scanning-with-snyk/assets/template.md)\n- [references/api-reference.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/HEAD/skills/performing-sca-dependency-scanning-with-snyk/references/api-reference.md)\n- [references/standards.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/HEAD/skills/performing-sca-dependency-scanning-with-snyk/references/standards.md)\n- [references/workflows.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/HEAD/skills/performing-sca-dependency-scanning-with-snyk/references/workflows.md)\n- [scripts/agent.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/HEAD/skills/performing-sca-dependency-scanning-with-snyk/scripts/agent.py)\n- [scripts/process.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/HEAD/skills/performing-sca-dependency-scanning-with-snyk/scripts/process.py)\n\n## assets/template.md (verbatim)\n\n# Snyk SCA Scanning Templates\n\n## GitHub Actions: Multi-Language SCA Pipeline\n\n```yaml\n# .github/workflows/sca-scanning.yml\nname: SCA Dependency Scan\n\non:\n  push:\n    branches: [main]\n  pull_request:\n    branches: [main]\n    paths:\n      -
