How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerScheduled CVE feed poll
  • ActionFetch advisories since last runHTTP webhook
  • ActionRead and parse SBOM from repoGitLabGitLab
  • LogicMatch affected ranges to installed versions
  • LogicAssign priority by severity and exploit maturity
  • ActionOpen version-bump MR per affected packageGitLabGitLab
  • OutputPost remediation summary to SlackSlack

What it does

Keeps your repos ahead of disclosed vulnerabilities by automatically reconciling fresh CVE advisories with the exact dependency versions you ship. When an advisory names a package and range you actually use, it opens a ready-to-review GitLab MR that pins the fixed version, so an engineer just reviews and merges instead of hunting.

When to use it

Run this when you maintain an SBOM (CycloneDX or SPDX) in-repo and want hands-off triage of upstream advisories without a paid scanner. Best for teams on GitLab who'd rather review a concrete fix than read a vuln report.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule fires (hourly or daily) and the run begins.
  2. 2An HTTP call pulls the latest advisories published since the last run.
  3. 3The SBOM is read from the repo via the GitLab API and parsed into a package-version map.
  4. 4Logic matches each advisory's affected range against installed versions and drops anything not present or already patched.
  5. 5For each real hit, severity and exploit-maturity set a priority label.
  6. 6A GitLab MR is opened per affected package bumping it to the fixed version, labeled by priority.
  7. 7A Slack message summarizes opened MRs and unfixable advisories needing manual review.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  2. 2
    Connect GitLabRepos, MRs, pipelines, registry.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
