To patch a dependency vulnerability without changing the version number, you apply binary-only patches directly to the installed package. This fixes the CVE while preserving your manifest and lockfile.

Binary-level patching for installed dependencies is a remediation technique that fixes security vulnerabilities directly in the package binaries. It allows you to resolve CVEs rapidly without bumping versions or altering code.

To apply security patches in CI/CD without modifying lock files, run a scan to discover available patches, then apply them directly to the installed binaries. This ensures safe remediation across your projects.

Yes, you can use binary patching for local development and production environments. It works wherever binary patches are available, enabling rapid remediation across your different environments without code changes.

To discover and apply patches to installed packages, first ensure the dependencies are installed. Then run a scan command to find available patches, followed by an apply command to patch the packages.

Binary patching works across both monorepos and single projects. You can apply the patches quickly across your entire codebase to ensure consistent vulnerability remediation without manifest changes.
