SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Scans codebases and dependencies to detect security vulnerabilities, track CVEs, and guide remediation across development workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SAST: static analysis of source code to identify vulnerability patterns without execution.
  • DAST: dynamic testing of running applications to surface runtime vulnerabilities.
  • SCA & CVE Tracking: audit dependencies for known vulnerabilities and track CVEs with remediation guidance.
  • CI/CD Integration: automate security checks in pipelines and enforce remedial actions.

Quick Start

Run a vulnerability scan on your project to surface vulnerabilities and prioritize fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions about vulnerability-scanner

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find and fix security vulnerabilities in my codebase?▼

To find and fix security vulnerabilities, run a scan that applies SAST, DAST, and SCA to detect issues in source code and dependencies. The scan outputs actionable guidance and tracks CVEs to prioritize remediation.

What is the difference between SAST, DAST, and SCA for vulnerability detection?▼

SAST performs static analysis on source code to find vulnerability patterns without execution, DAST dynamically tests running applications for runtime issues, and SCA audits dependencies for known CVEs and remediation guidance.

How do I track CVEs and prioritize remediation in my dependencies?▼

You can track CVEs and prioritize remediation by running SCA to audit dependencies against known vulnerabilities. The scanner reports identified CVEs and provides actionable guidance to resolve dependency security issues.

Can I automate vulnerability scans and enforce remediation in CI/CD workflows?▼

Yes, you can automate vulnerability scans in CI/CD workflows to enforce remedial actions. The scanner integrates with common tooling to support secure software delivery by blocking pipelines when security vulnerabilities are detected.

Do I need a running application to perform dynamic testing for runtime vulnerabilities?▼

Yes, DAST requires a running application to surface runtime vulnerabilities. While SCA and SAST can scan static source code and dependencies directly, dynamic testing actively executes the application to identify security issues.

What are the limitations of static analysis for detecting security vulnerabilities?▼

Static analysis detects vulnerability patterns in source code without execution but cannot surface runtime vulnerabilities. To find runtime issues, DAST must dynamically test the running application alongside SAST and SCA scans.
