Dependencies security vulnerabilities
The problem

Security gaps hide in plain sight.

Modern applications are built on hundreds — sometimes thousands — of open-source packages. Each one is a potential entry point. Most teams have no real-time visibility into which of their dependencies carry known vulnerabilities, and manual tracking simply doesn't scale as your dependency tree grows.
One operating picture

One platform. Every layer of security.

From the first line of code to production runtime, MadStack connects the signal so your team can move from “is this real?” to “it is fixed.”

Connect your repository

we automatically detect package manifests (package.json, requirements.txt, pom.xml, go.mod, etc.)

Step 02 - Cross reference

Step 02

We cross-reference every direct and transitive dependency against continuously updated CVE databases (NVD, GitHub Advisories, OSV)

✦ What gets detected

Findings, ranked by what matters.

Cut through vulnerability noise with context-aware prioritization based on exploitability, business impact, and urgency.

◈

Critical

Actively exploited CVEs with public proof-of-concept exploits and immediate exposure.

◷ Fix within 24 hours
!

High

Known vulnerabilities with high CVSS scores found in direct dependencies.

◷ Prioritize this sprint
↗

Medium

Risk hidden in nested dependencies and outdated minor versions across projects.
