Vetted Packages Through Your Nexus Instance

ActiveState delivers built-from-source packages as native artifacts directly into your Sonatype Nexus Repository. Your teams keep pulling packages the same way they always have.

How it works

Configure your Curated Catalog as a proxy repository in Nexus. Package managers and CI/CD pipelines resolve dependencies from your vetted catalog instead of public registries. No client-side changes required.

What ActiveState adds to Nexus

Packages built from source

Every package is compiled in SLSA Level 3 infrastructure with full build provenance. Nexus stores and serves them, and ActiveState provides the security foundation.

Continuous remediation

When a CVE is patched upstream, ActiveState rebuilds the affected package and publishes the update. Nexus delivers it to your teams through existing proxy and group repository configurations.

Governance and compliance data

Every artifact includes verified licensing, SBOMs, and build provenance. Nexus Firewall and lifecycle policies work alongside ActiveState's pre-vetted packages for layered security.

FAQs

Does ActiveState work with Nexus Repository OSS?

ActiveState works with both Nexus Repository OSS and Pro editions. Any configuration that supports proxy repositories can serve as a delivery point for your Curated Catalog.

How does ActiveState complement Nexus Firewall?

Nexus Firewall evaluates components as they enter your repository. ActiveState pre-vets every component at the build level. The combination gives you policy enforcement at the gate and verified provenance at the source.
