Your scanner flagged it, and the advisory says upgrade. Upgrading means a migration
and a regression cycle. Transitive? Even worse.
Seal backports the security fix to the
version you are running today and delivers it as a drop-in build. Same coordinates, same
API, no upgrade, no code changes.
Across Seal's patching platform
Engineering hours are estimated from CVEs patched and the average upgrade and regression effort avoided per fix.
Most CVEs get fixed upstream, in some later release. That is the industry's answer and it is why the backlog never clears: the fix ships to a version you are not running, and the work to get there is a migration, not a patch.
Upstream patches the line it is currently maintaining. Pinned to something older? The advisory reads as "upgrade to fix", and your only options are a migration or an open finding that stays open.
A modern app pulls in hundreds of transitive dependencies. You did not choose the vulnerable version, you inherited it, and you still own the finding on the report.
Seal monitors Tomcat, Spring, Log4j, Netty, React, Next.js and more for silent security fixes upstream, so the next one is often sealed before its CVE goes public.
Seal backports the security fix into the exact version you run and ships it as a sealed, drop-in build. Seal fixes up to 99% of vulnerabilities in critical and high severity, across Maven, npm, PyPI, Go, NuGet, RubyGems, Composer and OS packages, and the patch itself is usually fewer than 10 lines. As we showed in our research on the patch gap, waiting on somebody else's release train is the slowest path there is.
The fix, without the migration. A sealed version is your exact version plus the security patch, 6.5 lines on average.
Run seal scan against your build, or feed in the findings you already have. Seal ingests Snyk, GHAS, Checkmarx, Wiz and Trivy, so you keep the scanner you own.
Not the latest release. Yours. Seal produces a verified, tested patch against the exact version pinned in your build file, and seals on demand for the CVEs you are actually carrying.
seal fix and the finding closesThe sealed artifact resolves with version-compatible coordinates through Seal's CLI. No code changes, no upgrade, and the ticket closes against the version you already run.
Yes. Seal backports the fix into the exact version you already run and ships it as a drop-in build with version-compatible coordinates, through Seal's CLI. No code changes, no upgrade.
No. Seal ingests findings from Snyk, GitHub Advanced Security, Checkmarx, Wiz and Trivy. Keep the scanner you own, and let Seal supply the fix it cannot.
You pick a method per project. Most teams add the Seal CLI to CI: one step after the dependency install swaps vulnerable packages for their sealed versions, following sealing rules the security team sets in the Seal platform, so no pull requests are needed. You can also point your package manager, Artifactory or Nexus at the Seal Artifact Server and pin sealed versions in the manifest, or download sealed packages and install them yourself. Setup guides for each method are at docs.sealsecurity.io.
Yes. Many security fixes land in open source projects quietly, days or weeks before a CVE or advisory is published, and scanners can't flag a vulnerability that has no CVE yet. Seal monitors upstream code changes for these silent security fixes. When we find one, our researchers reproduce the vulnerability and backport the fix to the versions you run, so a sealed version is ready before the CVE goes public, and before upstream releases a fixed version. In Seal's Silent Patch Gap research, 94% of CVEs had a public fix commit before the advisory, a median of 11 days earlier.
Yes. Upload a manifest, lockfile or SBOM and Seal shows which of those packages have sealed versions. No account needed.
Book 30 minutes, name the CVE you are carrying and the version you are pinned to, and see the sealed build for your stack. No migration plan required.
