INTRODUCING THE PIXI AUDIT BETA

prefix.dev4 min read

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Pixi Audit, now in beta, scans Pixi lock files for vulnerable conda-forge and PyPI packages, and --fix bumps direct dependencies to the lowest compatible fixed version before re-running pixi update. Matching relies on Basilisk, prefix.dev's new conda-forge vulnerability database, which links repackaged conda-forge builds to their upstream PURL and CPE identities so existing OSV and NVD advisories apply. For CI, --severity high sets the failure threshold, with JSON and SARIF output, though it doesn't cover statically linked binaries yet.
