+# Roave Security Checker
+
+The Security Checker will check your `composer.lock` file for known security vulnerabilities.
+
+***Composer***
+
+```
+composer require --dev roave/security-advisories:lastest-dev
+```
+More information about the library can be found on [github](https://github.com/Roave/SecurityAdvisories).
+
+***Config***
+
+The task lives under the `securitychecker_roave` namespace and has the following configurable parameters:
+
+```yaml
+# grumphp.yml
+grumphp:
+    tasks:
+        securitychecker_roave:
+            jsonfile: ./composer.json
+            lockfile: ./composer.lock
+            run_always: false
+```
+
+**jsonfile**
+
+*Default: ./composer.json*
+
+If your `composer.json` file is located in an exotic location, you can specify the location with this option. By default, the task will try to load a `composer.json` file in the current directory.
+
+**lockfile**
+
+*Default: ./composer.lock*
+
+If your `composer.lock` file is located in an exotic location, you can specify the location with this option. By default, the task will try to load a `composer.lock` file in the current directory.
+
+**run_always**
+
+*Default: false*
+
+When this option is set to `false`, the task will only run when the `composer.lock` file has changed. If it is set to `true`, the `composer.lock` file will be checked on every commit.
