Dart - Pub

See the Dart Pub files supported by Fortify SCA and their scan precedence.

Fortify SCA tracks Dart dependencies managed with Pub through:

• pubspec.yaml, the package manifest

• pubspec.lock, the primary lock-file dependency source

• pubspec.deps.json, the complete resolved dependency graph

Pub

Fortify SCA can scan pubspec.lock as a standalone file. It can also scan pubspec.yaml independently during manual or stateless uploads. When both files are present, Fortify SCA scans them together. This produces a flat dependency list without root or scope data.

Generate pubspec.deps.json before scanning to retain root and scope data:

dart pub deps --json > pubspec.deps.json

Commit pubspec.deps.json with your project files. Fortify SCA uses it instead of pubspec.lock when both files are present.

The generated graph includes direct, development, and transitive dependencies. It preserves parent-child relationships for dependency tracking, validation, and SBOM generation.

Supported file formats and features

Package manager	Supported file formats	Root dependencies	Indirect dependencies	Dependency trees	Security scanning	License scanning	Root fix	Pull Request	Reachability Analysis	High Performance Scan
Pub	pubspec.yaml									Yes
Pub	pubspec.lock									Yes
Pub	pubspec.deps.json									Yes*

* This is a native lock file format. Native lock file formats are the fastest formats to scan.
