security-checker:tldr:c803d
The security-checker
command is a command-line tool used to analyze the security vulnerabilities present in the Composer dependencies of a PHP project. It checks for any known CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) database entries matching the used package versions.
The security:check
argument specifies the action to perform with the security-checker
command, which is to check for security vulnerabilities.
${path-to-composer-lock}
is a placeholder variable representing the path to the composer.lock
file in your project. This file is generated by Composer and contains a detailed list of all the dependencies and their specific versions used in the project.
By specifying the path to the composer.lock
file, this command instructs the security-checker
tool to analyze the dependencies defined in that file and check for any known security vulnerabilities in those packages.
Overall, this command is used to ensure that the PHP project's dependencies are free from any known security vulnerabilities by leveraging the security-checker
tool provided by the Symfony project.
