8# Dependency list **(ULTIMATE)**
9
10> - Application dependencies [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/10075) in GitLab 12.0.
11> - System dependencies [introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6698) in GitLab 14.6.
12
13Use the dependency list to review your project's dependencies and key
14details about those dependencies, including their known vulnerabilities. It is a collection of dependencies in your project, including existing and new findings.
15
16To see the dependency list, go to your project and select **Security & Compliance > Dependency List**.
17
18This information is sometimes referred to as a Software Bill of Materials or SBoM / BOM.
19
20The dependency list only shows the results of the last successful pipeline to run on the default branch. This is why we recommend not changing the default behavior of allowing the secure jobs to fail.
21
22## Prerequisites
23
24To view your project's dependencies, ensure you meet the following requirements:
25
26- The [Dependency Scanning](../dependency_scanning/index.md)
27  or [Container Scanning](../container_scanning/index.md)
28  CI job must be configured for your project.
29- Your project uses at least one of the
30  [languages and package managers](../dependency_scanning/index.md#supported-languages-and-package-managers)
31  supported by Gemnasium.
32
33## View a project's dependencies
34
35![Dependency list](img/dependency_list_v13_11.png)
36
37GitLab displays dependencies with the following information:
38
39| Field     | Description |
40|-----------|-------------|
41| Component | The dependency's name and version. |
42| Packager  | The packager used to install the dependency. |
43| Location  | For system dependencies, this lists the image that was scanned. For application dependencies, this shows a link to the packager-specific lock file in your project that declared the dependency. It also shows the [dependency path](#dependency-paths) to a top-level dependency, if any, and if supported. |
44| License   | Links to dependency's software licenses. |
45
46Displayed dependencies are initially sorted by the severity of their known vulnerabilities, if any. They
47can also be sorted by name or by the packager that installed them.
48
49### Vulnerabilities
50
51If a dependency has known vulnerabilities, view them by clicking the arrow next to the
52dependency's name or the badge that indicates how many known vulnerabilities exist. For each
53vulnerability, its severity and description appears below it. To view more details of a vulnerability,
54select the vulnerability's description. The [vulnerability's details](../vulnerabilities) page is opened.
55
56### Dependency paths
57
58The dependency list shows the path between a dependency and a top-level dependency it's connected
59to, if any. There are many possible paths connecting a transient dependency to top-level
60dependencies, but the user interface shows only one of the shortest paths.
61
62![Dependency path](img/yarn_dependency_path_v13_6.png)
63
64Dependency paths are supported for the following package managers:
65
66- [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/)
67- [Yarn 1.x](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/)
68- [sbt](https://www.scala-sbt.org)
69
70## Licenses
71
72> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/10536) in GitLab 12.3.
73
74If the [License Compliance](../../compliance/license_compliance/index.md) CI job is configured,
75[discovered licenses](../../compliance/license_compliance/index.md#supported-languages-and-package-managers) are displayed on this page.
76
77## Downloading the dependency list
78
79You can download your project's full list of dependencies and their details in
80`JSON` format.
81
82### In the UI
83
84You can download your project's list of dependencies and their details in JSON format by selecting the **Export** button. Note that the dependency list only shows the results of the last successful pipeline to run on the default branch.
85
86### Using the API
87
88You can download your project's list of dependencies [using the API](../../../api/dependencies.md#list-project-dependencies). Note this only provides the dependencies identified by the Gemnasium family of analyzers and [not any other of the GitLab dependency analyzers](../dependency_scanning/analyzers.md).
