Open Source Vulnerability Management

Stop Patching, Start Preventing

ActiveState continuously remediates your open source components so vulnerabilities are fixed before they reach production.

Reactive scanning catches problems too late

Vulnerability scanners tell you what's already in your code. By the time a CVE surfaces in a scan, it's deployed in production, and your team is scrambling. ActiveState ensures vulnerable components stop entering your environment in the first place.

Every component monitored around the clock

A component-level security feed updates every 24 hours across your entire open source inventory. When a new vulnerability is disclosed or a fix becomes available, your team knows immediately.

~95% reduction in CVEs compared to public registries

VEX data on every component eliminates ~68% of false positives

Full dependency trees tracked from source, including transitive and OS-level packages

Built and published on a strict SLA

ActiveState continuously monitors upstream sources. When a fix becomes available upstream, affected components are rebuilt in secure SLSA Level 3 infrastructure and published to your catalog. No manual patching, no version chasing.

Breaking change analysis runs first, then your team chooses what ships. No surprises in production.

4–8 developer hours saved per CVE

Every vulnerability that doesn't require manual triage, research, and patching is engineering time returned to product development. Across an enterprise open source footprint, that can add up to 30% of developer capacity reclaimed.

79M+ components across 12 ecosystems

ActiveState covers Python, Java, JavaScript, Go, R, C, Rust, .NET, and more. Remediation applies across your full open source inventory, not just a single language.

Proven remediation at scale

FAQs

How is ActiveState different from a vulnerability scanner?

Scanners detect vulnerabilities after they're in your code. ActiveState prevents vulnerable components from entering your environment, and automatically remediates the ones already in your catalog when fixes become available.

What happens when no upstream fix exists?

ActiveState continuously monitors for available upstream fixes. When no fix is available, ActiveState provides full visibility into the vulnerability and its impact through your security feed. VEX data helps you prioritize real risk versus false positives.

Does remediation apply to containers too?

Yes. All ActiveState Secure Container images are automatically remediated and rebuilt on the same SLA. The same applies to packages in your Curated Catalog and Secure Runtimes.

How does ActiveState reduce scanner noise?

VEX advisories on every component flag which CVEs actually affect your specific usage. Scanners that consume VEX data will automatically filter out false positives, reducing alert fatigue by roughly 68%.
