Best for

▸Triaging Log4j, Pillow, or Lodash CVEs to assess actual exploitability in your application context
▸Generating SBOMs for Node.js, Python, or Java projects using CycloneDX format
▸Setting up automated Dependabot or Snyk workflows with proper reachability analysis
▸Auditing npm packages for license compliance violations before production deployment
▸Establishing SLSA Level 2+ supply chain security practices for CI/CD pipelines

What you'll get

●Risk matrix ranking 50+ CVEs by CVSS score, reachability analysis, and business impact with specific upgrade paths
●CycloneDX SBOM JSON file with complete dependency tree, license metadata, and vulnerability mappings
●SLSA Level 3 implementation checklist with provenance verification, build attestation, and hermetic build requirements

Not designed for ↓

×Writing custom vulnerability scanners or building SCA tools from scratch
×Legal interpretation of open source license obligations beyond technical compliance
×Application security testing of your own code (SAST/DAST)
×Incident response for active supply chain attacks already in progress

Expects

Dependency manifest files (package.json, requirements.txt, pom.xml), SCA tool outputs (Snyk, OWASP Dependency-Check), or specific CVE numbers with application context.

Returns

Risk-prioritized vulnerability assessments with exploitability analysis, remediation roadmaps, SBOM files in standardized formats, and actionable security policies.
