DependencySecurityGaps: Automated Vulnerability Gap Mapper
Detects which security vulnerabilities in your dependencies have publicly available exploits but no patches exist yet, so teams prioritize fixing exploitable gaps over low-risk theoretical ones.
The Problem
Developers get vulnerability alerts from tools like Dependabot but can't distinguish between 'critical but not exploitable' vs 'actually weaponized in the wild.' Teams waste time patching CVEs with exploit code that doesn't work against their stack, while missing the 10% of vulnerabilities that are actively being exploited. Security teams can't justify why some CVEs take priority.
Target Audience
Mid-market SaaS companies (50-500 devs) and security teams who use Dependabot, Snyk, or npm audit but need triage automation; startups that can't afford Snyk's advanced features.
Why Now?
AI-powered security triage is becoming table-stakes; teams are drowning in false-positive CVE alerts; OSV and GitHub APIs now expose exploit availability data in real-time.
What's Missing
Existing tools flag vulnerabilities but don't answer 'is this actually exploited in production environments right now?' — that requires cross-referencing multiple data sources that no free tool currently stitches together.
