Vulert is a Software Composition Analysis (SCA) platform designed to secure the software supply chain through manifest and SBOM analysis. It operates on a zero-trust model, requiring only metadata files rather than full source code access, making it an efficient tool for identifying vulnerable third-party libraries during reconnaissance or security audits.
Key Features
- Automated detection of CVEs in dependencies for major languages including Java, Python, JS, and Go.
- SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) monitoring to identify risks in vendor-provided applications.
- Enriched vulnerability database providing exploit likelihood and context beyond standard CVE feeds.
- Native integrations with SIEM tools (Splunk, ArcSight), CI/CD pipelines, and Jira for automated incident response.
Use Cases
- Red Team Reconnaissance: Mapping a target's attack surface by analyzing manifest files discovered in public repositories or internal shares.
- Supply Chain Auditing: Assessing the security posture and legal compliance of third-party software vendors via SBOM analysis.
- Continuous Vulnerability Monitoring: Maintaining visibility into new CVEs affecting established codebases without manual scanning.
