Find and fix vulnerabilities where you code
AlertaVuln lives in your IDE and the web dashboard - auto-fixing vulnerable dependencies and handing critical code findings to your own AI. Behind it, a full suite: dependencies, SAST, DAST, containers and reachability, every finding triaged RED / YELLOW / GREEN.
Free forever for two projects. Book a demo to see the full set of features.
The AlertaVuln editor panel lists findings in two sections - Dependencies and Code Scan. One click fixes every vulnerable dependency. One click hands the code findings to your own AI assistant, which fixes a SQL injection in app.ts, then opens config.ts and replaces a hardcoded secret with an environment variable.
The alerts your scanner should have shipped with
Most SCA tools tell you a CVE exists. AlertaVuln tells you whether it can actually hurt your code.
Attack-surface aware
We classify the package and the CVE class - RCE in your XML parser? Loud alert. XSS in a CLI tool? We say so. Hand-curated rules, not LLM hand-waving.
Transitive chains, surfaced
Vulnerable package buried four levels deep? We show the chain - which top-level dep dragged it in, so you upgrade the right thing once instead of fighting the lockfile.
Smart fix targeting
We pick the smallest safe upgrade - not the latest major. Bump severity (Safe / Caution / Breaking) and a release-notes link ship with every alert. No downgrade traps.
How it works
Three steps to protect your applications
Add your stack - three ways
Upload a manifest (package.json, csproj, requirements.txt…), connect a GitHub or Azure DevOps repo, or type dependencies in manually. npm, NuGet, pip, Maven, Go, Cargo, Composer, RubyGems.
We monitor CVE feeds
Our engine continuously ingests from NVD, GitHub Advisories, and other sources - matching against your exact dependencies.
Get actionable alerts
Receive RED/YELLOW/GREEN alerts with reasoning. Push to Slack, Teams, or Discord. Know exactly what to fix and why.
One platform, every layer
Dependencies, code, containers, running apps - one scanner, one RED / YELLOW / GREEN queue.
Know your stack
Tech-stack tracking
8 ecosystems. Point us at a repo, drop a manifest, or type it in - we're not fussy.
Package health
We flag the deps quietly going stale or unmaintained, so you're not the last to find out.
Zero-install public mode
Paste a public repo URL. That's the whole setup - no app, no OAuth, no CI runner.
Catch what matters
Event-driven alerts
Disclosed, rescanned, and alerted in minutes - not whenever the nightly cron wakes up.
Reachability
Actually exploitable in your code, or just scary-looking? We tell you which.
Smallest safe fix
The smallest bump that clears it - not the latest major that breaks half your app.
Scan every layer
Static application security testing
SAST, secrets and IaC - unlimited in your CLI, free. Or let us run it server-side.
Dynamic application security testing
DAST - real scans against your running app. We check you own it first, obviously.
Container images
Scans your images, watches them over time, and nags you about the base image.
Fix it and prove it
Fix in your IDE
Auto-fix the deps, then hand the gnarly code findings to your own AI.
Alerts where you work
Slack, Teams, Discord, Google Chat, or a plain JSON webhook. Take your pick.
Exec view + compliance
One screen for the folks who ask "are we secure?" - plus the report to prove it.
Why not Dependabot or Snyk?
Where we land vs. the tools you're probably already using
| Capability | Dependabot | Snyk | ALERTAVULN |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full suite: SAST + DAST + containers + compliance | Separate paid product suites | One platform, enable what you need, one triage model | |
| Works on GitHub + Azure DevOps | GitHub-native* | ||
| No repo clone or build-step execution | Fetches + resolves in their sandbox | May fetch source to their cloud | Read-only manifest API |
| Alert-first, not PR spam | PR per CVE | Mixed | |
| 5 native chat channels (incl. Discord + Google Chat) | Limited | Limited | All five |
| Free tier with no time limit | 200 tests/mo | 2 projects, forever | |
| Event-driven rescans (not scheduled) | Scheduled | ||
| Zero-install public-repo mode | No App, no OAuth, no CI |
*Self-hosted community forks of Dependabot exist for GitLab and other hosts, but require DIY hosting vs a managed integration.
