Safety and Dependabot complement these security tools by focusing on external dependencies. Safety takes charge of examining your dependencies, ensuring they are up-to-date and free from any known vulnerabilities. Dependabot works similarly, scanning dependencies, verifying if they're current and assessing them for potential security flaws. This function is crucial as weaknesses in external dependencies can compromise the security of the entire codebase.

Checking could be done if something like this eventually shows up in safety or pip-audit.

A 2021 security report by Snyk, states 47% of Python projects contain known vulnerabilities. On the bright hand side, almost 87% of known vulnerabilities can be resolved by upgrading the vulnerable package. Safety checks your installed dependencies for known security vulnerabilities.
