bun audit
checks your installed packages for known security vulnerabilities.
Run the command in a project with a bun.lock
file:
bun audit
Bun sends the list of installed packages and versions to NPM, and prints a report of any vulnerabilities that were found. Packages installed from registries other than the default registry are skipped.
If no vulnerabilities are found, the command prints:
No vulnerabilities found
When vulnerabilities are detected, each affected package is listed along with the severity, a short description and a link to the advisory. At the end of the report Bun prints a summary and hints for updating:
3 vulnerabilities (1 high, 2 moderate)
To update all dependencies to the latest compatible versions:
bun update
To update all dependencies to the latest versions (including breaking changes):
bun update --latest
--json
Use the --json
flag to print the raw JSON response from the registry instead of the formatted report:
bun audit --json
Exit code
bun audit
will exit with code 0
if no vulnerabilities are found and 1
if the report lists any vulnerabilities. This will still happen even if --json
is passed.
