Outlier software component remediation is disclosed. For example, a dependency evaluation module executes on a processor to determine an input stack including references to a first plurality of components incorporated in the program and a plurality of metadata tags associated with the first plurality of components. A plurality of selection filters is applied to the plurality of reference project manifests to select a reference project manifest as a reference stack. The first plurality of components identified in the input stack is compared with a second plurality of components identified in the reference stack. A component in the input stack is selected as an outlier component based on the reference stack lacking a reference to the component.
