Frequently Asked Questions
How does reachability analysis improve vulnerability remediation?
Reachability analysis identifies whether an application calls the specific vulnerable method in a component. This lets teams distinguish between vulnerabilities that require action and those that are present but not currently exploitable.
What is an automated waiver?
An automated waiver documents that a vulnerability exists in a component but is not reachable by the application. It helps developers avoid manual analysis while giving security and compliance teams a clear, auditable rationale for why the finding does not require remediation.
What are Zero-Effort Fixes?
Zero-Effort Fixes are automated, safe component upgrade recommendations for exploitable vulnerabilities. They help teams avoid the manual work of researching compatible versions, evaluating transitive dependencies, and determining whether an update could break the build.
What is a Golden PR?
A Golden PR is a pull request generated for a component update that has no breaking changes and no policy violations, including across its dependencies. It gives developers a higher-confidence path to remediate vulnerabilities without creating new problems.
Why isn’t a non-reachable vulnerability still a future concern?
A non-reachable vulnerability may become relevant if the application changes later and begins calling the affected method. Golden PRs help teams proactively remove the vulnerable component version, reducing future exposure even when the vulnerability is not exploitable today.
