DotNet Dependency Alert

GitHub action to scan .NET solutions and projects for vulnerable, deprecated, or outdated package references. If any such top-level or transitive package is found, a Dependency Alert issue is created in the repository. Subsequent alerts are only created if new problems arise or the package references have changed.

Usage

See action.yml for a description of all available input parameters. With the default settings, the action restores and scans the solution or project in the current directory.
