This action checks your composer.lock for known vulnerabilities in your package dependencies.

• composer optional The path to the composer.lock file (defaults to the repository root directory).
• disable-exit-code optional Set it to 1 if you don't want the step to fail in case of detected vulnerabilities

• vulns A JSON payload containing all detected vulnerabilities

If you want the step to fail whenever there is a security issue in one of your dependencies, use this action:

steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: symfonycorp/security-checker-action@v2

To speed up security checks, you can cache the vulnerability database:

steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: actions/cache@v2
      id: cache-db
      with:
          path: ~/.symfony/cache
          key: db
    - uses: symfonycorp/security-checker-action@v2

If the composer.lock is not in the repository root directory, pass is as an input:

steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: symfonycorp/security-checker-action@v2
      with:
          lock: subdir/composer.lock

Instead of failing, you can also get the vulnerabilities as a JSON output and do something with them in another step:

steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: symfonycorp/security-checker-action@v2
      with:
          disable-exit-code: 1
      id: security-check
    - name: Display the vulnerabilities as JSON
      run: echo ${{ steps.security-check.outputs.vulns }}
