+# Audit Your Ruby Project For Any CVEs
+
+The [`bundler-audit` gem](https://github.com/rubysec/bundler-audit) is a handy
+tool that you can run manually or integrate into your CI workflow to warn you
+about any CVEs in your dependencies.
+
+Running this tool without any arguments will perform a check of your
+`Gemfile.lock` file. It will check against the
+[`ruby-advisory-db`](https://github.com/rubysec/ruby-advisory-db) for any CVEs
+linked to your dependencies, down to the patch-level.
+
+```bash
+$ bundle exec bundler-audit
+
+Name: puma
+Version: 4.3.12
+CVE: CVE-2024-21647
+GHSA: GHSA-c2f4-cvqm-65w2
+Criticality: Medium
+URL: https://github.com/puma/puma/security/advisories/GHSA-c2f4-cvqm-65w2
+Title: Puma HTTP Request/Response Smuggling vulnerability
+Solution: upgrade to '~> 5.6.8', '>= 6.4.2'
+
+Vulnerabilities found!
+```
+
+In this example run, a vulnerability was found in the currently installed
+version of the `puma` gem.
+
+I believe a standard `bundler-audit` command will make sure the advisory DB is
+up-to-date, but to be sure, you can run the `update` command.
+
+```bash
+$ bundle exec bundler-audit update
+
+Updating ruby-advisory-db ...
+From https://github.com/rubysec/ruby-advisory-db
+ * branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD
+Already up to date.
