Instead of running bandit separately, you get security violations reported inline with your other flake8 issues, using 'S' prefixes (e.g., S101) rather than bandit's default 'B' codes to avoid conflicts with flake8-bugbear.\n\nThe plugin reads standard .bandit configuration files to let you exclude paths and select specific tests. If you already lint with flake8, adding this plugin means security testing happens automatically without changing your workflow\u2014you just install it and run flake8 as normal.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you already use flake8 and want security checks integrated into your linting step. The low install friction and permissive license make it a straightforward addition. However, the dormant maintenance status (last release August 2022) means you should verify compatibility with your current flake8 and bandit versions before relying on it in production CI/CD."},"id":"flake8-bandit","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flake8-bandit","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flake8-bandit.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flake8-bandit/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-08-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"flake8-bandit","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Automated security testing with bandit and flake8."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":532017,"position":6150,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.1.1"}
