Security Advisory Dependency Fast-Track

When a vulnerability advisory webhook fires for a tracked package, it checks whether the repo uses the affected version, and if so opens a fix PR, runs tests, and pages on-call…

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerSecurity advisory webhookHTTP webhook
  • LogicCheck affected version + severity
  • ActionBump + run testsShell
  • ActionOpen fix PR with advisoryGitHubGitHub
  • LogicBranch on critical severity
  • OutputPage on-call for criticalPagerDutyPagerDuty

What it does

Listens for security advisory webhooks and reacts only when your codebase actually uses the vulnerable version range. It opens a PR bumping to the patched release, runs the test suite, and for critical-severity advisories escalates to on-call so a fix is not waiting in a review queue.

When to use it

Use it when dependency CVEs need a faster path than the normal upgrade cadence and you want escalation proportional to severity rather than treating every advisory as an emergency.

How it works

  1. 1An HTTP webhook receives a security advisory payload.
  2. 2A logic step checks the installed version against the affected range and severity.
  3. 3A shell step bumps to the patched version and runs tests in a checkout.
  4. 4A GitHub step opens the fix PR with the advisory link and test result.
  5. 5A logic branch checks severity.
  6. 6For critical advisories, a PagerDuty incident pages on-call; otherwise the flow ends with the PR.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  2. 2
    Connect ShellRun sandboxed commands inside the workspace.
  3. 3
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  4. 4
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
