[](#security-check-plugin-for-composer)

For global install:

```
composer global require fancyguy/composer-security-check-plugin

```

For project install:

```
composer require fancyguy/composer-security-check-plugin

```

Run these commands to see some sample behavior:

```
mkdir insecure-project
cd insecure-project
composer init --name="insecure/project" --description="insecure project" -l MIT -n
composer require symfony/symfony:2.5.2
composer require fancyguy/composer-security-check-plugin
composer audit
composer audit --format=simple
composer audit --format=json
composer validate
composer require symfony/symfony --update-with-all-dependencies
composer audit

```

By default this tool uploads your `composer.lock` file to the [security.symfony.com](https://security.symfony.com/) webservice which uses the checks from .

You can check offline by downloading a local version of this [repo](https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/security-advisories) and specify its path using:
