Enhanced vulnerability categorization for affected third-party components ⭐
We recently enhanced our platform's vulnerability categorization for third-party components and dependencies, improving reporting granularity and accuracy. This allows for more precise risk analysis and management.
Previously, inherited vulnerabilities were grouped under the categories of "use of software with known vulnerabilities" (011 and 393). Now, they're reported by specific vulnerability type (e.g., "SQL injection").
This change may have affected your remediation rates ⚠️
Formerly, a single affected location reported on our platform with the "vulnerability type" 011 or 393 represented an entire third-party component. But this component could, in reality, contain multiple vulnerabilities of different types (e.g., SQL injection, XSS, RCE), which are now listed individually.
This increased number of vulnerabilities could positively or negatively impact your remediation rates on our platform, depending on whether or not your inherited security issues had been previously addressed.
