Abstract

In one example, a system can execute a first version of a software program during a time window. While executing the first version of the software program during the time window, the system can generate a software bill of materials (SBOM) for the software program. The SBOM can identify a dependency relied upon by the first version of the software program during the time window. The system can determine that the dependency has a vulnerability based on a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) record associated with the dependency. The system can then obtain an updated version of the dependency that lacks the vulnerability, generate a second version of the software program using the updated version of the dependency to mitigate the vulnerability, and deploy the second version of the software program. The system may also shut down the first version of the software program.
