Use when a fix PR touched the wrong dependency scope and the finding survives. Covers mapping findings to the exact manifest path, reverting the wrong bump, and gating security PRs on rescan clearance. Not for version-resolution failures.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - a rejected CVE came back under a new CVE ID for the same bug - the agent's "closed" ticket never got reopened - [NVD merged two CVE entries into one and the agent's backlog now has duplicate tickets …

Use when a scan agent manages .trivyignore and the team's hand-curated suppressions disappeared. Covers restoring the curated file, switching the agent to append-only output, and locking the file against future overwrites. Not for trivy scan failures or for writing the initial ignore list.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - codemod agent rewrote the same file 3 times - the jscodeshift transform wasnt idempotent and kept re-matching its own... - [agent compared v3 against v3 - filename collision in the download folder an…

Diagnoses trivy SARIF uploads that vanish in GitHub code scanning: the upload may have targeted a non-default branch, or trivy's rule IDs dedupe against existing alerts. Covers checking the upload logs, confirming the branch, and inspecting rule IDs in the SARIF. Use when code scanning shows nothing the CLI found. Not…
Corrects CSAF triage that closes CVEs based on the wrong product's status: product_status in CSAF is per product, and fixed for one release does not mean fixed for yours. Covers mapping your running version to the CSAF product ID and reading the status for that product only. Use when CSAF-driven triage closes CVEs pre…
Explains why osv-scanner --recursive comes back empty on yarn v4 (berry) monorepos: the v4 lockfile format is not parsed, so the scan silently covers nothing. Covers scanning package.json manifests explicitly and confirming parsed counts. Use when osv-scanner finds nothing in a yarn berry repo. Not for genuinely clean…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - osv-scanner hung for 30 minutes on a pnpm monorepo lockfile the agent generated mid-run - osv-scanner: "failed: no package sources found in ." when run from a subdirectory

Fixes snyk silently skipping a subdirectory .snyk policy file: snyk loads policy from the scanned project directory, not the repo root, so monorepo scans need to run per project or use --policy-path. Covers locating stray policy files and verifying the ignore took effect. Use when ignores in a subdirectory .snyk never…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - snyk code test: "failed to upload files: request entity too large" on a monorepo - snyk ignore and .snyk policy files do not work for Snyk Code findings

Untangling snyk's confusing exit-1-with-no-output: how the .snyk ignore policy and the severity threshold interact, and how to get the real list via JSON output. Covers finding which ignored issues still trip the threshold and deciding whether the exit code is legitimate. Use when snyk exits 1 with an empty report. No…

Explains what grype's --only-fixed actually filters: records where the vulnerability database has fix data, which is not the same as fixes you can install, and not a promise about records with unknown fix state. Covers refreshing the DB and verifying fixes against the distro tracker. Use when --only-fixed output still…

Corrects the dangerous misreading of empty trivy results on Windows container images: trivy analyzes Linux package metadata it cannot find on Windows, so zero findings means unscanned, not clean. Covers marking coverage honestly and adding Windows-capable scanning. Use when trivy reports nothing on windows/amd64 image…
