Composer security advisories can block deploys to Test

August 20, 2026

Integrated Composer runs composer audit on every build to check your dependencies against known security advisories.

  • Dev and Multidev: Builds always succeed, even if advisories are found.
  • Test: Deploying to Test fails if the latest Dev build has open advisories you haven't explicitly acknowledged.
  • Live: Not audited directly, but blocked transitively, since Live only receives code by deploying from Test.

Action required

If a deploy to Test fails because of a security advisory, update the affected package where possible. When you can't update right away, you can tell Composer to stop flagging specific advisories using the config.policy block in composer.json, while keeping a version-controlled record of what you've accepted and why.

See Handling security advisories for how the check works and how to manage your own list of exclusions.
