# composer-dependency-version-audit-plugin
validating packages through a composer plugin
# Composer dependency version audit plugin

This composer plugin is used to protect Adobe Commerce merchants from Dependency confusion attacks. It will detect when a public version of a package
at packagist.org has a higher version than the one available from a private like repo.magento.com. When you try to install/update packages with composer,
if it detects a potential issue, the plugin will give you a recommendation message and stop the process.
<br />
<br />
By default the plugin will obey the stability configuration in the composer.json config file which is `stable` by default. If you would like to be covered for unstable versions of a package (dev, alpha, beta, RC), you can either change the `minimum-stability` level or explicit require a dev version or only betas with the version constraint for ex: ‘^1.0.2-beta1’
## Installation

```shell
composer require magento/composer-dependency-version-audit-plugin
```

## Usage

When you install/update composer, the composer plugin will stop the process if it detects a potential Dependency Confusion attack.
In that case, composer install/update will fail with an error message similar to:

```composer log
Higher matching version x.x.x of package/name was found in public repository packagist.org than x.x.x in private.repo.
Public package might've been taken over by a malicious entity;
please investigate and update package requirement to match the version from the private repository.
```
