WhiteSource Bolt for GitHub - Find & fix open source vulnerabilities - for all languages

We at WhiteSource are thrilled to launch of our new free WhiteSource Bolt for GitHub app! After months of beta testing, and talking with developers about the challenges of working securely with open source, the results are in and the people have spoken for a better way to manage the open source components in their repos. So this year our gift to the open source community is a shiny new developer tool that makes scanning for known vulnerabilities fast and simple. When it comes to the open source community, sharing is truly caring. Here is a quick rundown of the key features of the app: Find & Fix Vulnerable Open Source Libraries: At the core of WhiteSource Bolt is our goal of showing developers clear and concise information about the vulnerabilities impacting their software. Our no-nonsense approach shows you critical info such as information on the vulnerability including its CVSS score and an actionable suggested fix to make closing this issue a breeze. We Speak Your Language: With over 200 programming languages supported, we’ve got you covered. Never Gonna Let You Down With Comprehensive Vulnerability Coverage That Won’t Give Up: WhiteSource collects intelligence from the widest range of sources to make sure that users are always up to date on the latest vulnerabilities.
