Abstract: An apparatus for scanning vulnerabilities, wherein the apparatus includes at least a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the at least a processor to access at least a manifest file, wherein the at least manifest file includes at least a direct dependency, scan the manifest file for a software package data, extract the software package data from the manifest file, generate at least a dependency tree as a function of the software package data, and store the dependency tree in a database. A method for scanning vulnerabilities is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for automated malicious software detection includes a computing device, the computing device configured to receive a software component, identify at least an element of software component metadata corresponding to the software component, determine a malicious quantifier as a function of the software component metadata, wherein determining the malicious quantifier further comprises obtaining a source repository, the source repository including at least an element of source metadata, and determining the malicious quantifier as a function of the at least an element of software component metadata and the at least an element of source repository metadata using a malicious machine-learning model, and transmit a notification as a function of the malicious quantifier and a predictive threshold.
