Using OWASP Dependency Check in Azure DevOps for Angular applications

The OWASP Dependency-Check tool is a free open-source Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tool that attempts to detect publicly disclosed vulnerabilities contained within a project's dependencies. It does this by determining if there is a Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) identifier for a given dependency.

Yesterday I explained how to integrate the OWASP Dependency Check extension in your build pipeline and use to scan .NET applications; Today I want to show how to use it for Angular applications.

For Angular applications dependencies can be found in the package.json or package-lock.json. I updated the build task scan path to check for these files:


Important: before you run this tool for your Angular application, make sure you first have installed all dependencies using npm install otherwise the tool will not work.



Here is an example HTML output for one of our applications:

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
