Since OWASP unveiled its 2025 Top 10, one of the most-discussed items has been A03: Software Supply Chain Failures. For many in AppSec, this came as no surprise; enterprise software’s reliance on open source has become one of its greatest strengths and arguably its biggest liability.

Picture this: a critical vulnerability hits your dependency tree. Security flags it as high-priority, but the development team pushes back because the upgrade breaks three integration tests. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. It’s the same story for countless organizations, and it potentially costs your team countless hours of development time and revenue lost.

There are millions of dollars on the line for companies relying on open source. Failure to stay CVE-free can lead to churn, closed-lost deals, and countless engineering hours wasted chasing fixes instead of shipping features. Unlike enterprises with large budgets and compliance buffers, a single failed review, missed SLA, or unresolved CVE can derail $5M–$20M in just one quarter. This is the difference between hitting growth targets or missing them entirely.

When developing a JavaScript package with npm, direct dependencies are defined within the dependencies section of the package.json file. Developers manage these dependencies' versions using semver-compliant version specifications. This allows for precise control, from specifying exact versions to defining ranges that permit the package manager to select compatible versions.

This support extends to various deployment models, including containers, virtual machines, and bare metal installations.

Businesses rely heavily on software applications to drive efficiency, productivity, and customer satisfaction. However, many organizations still grapple with unmaintained applications that depend on outdated or vulnerable third-party libraries. According to a study by Synopsys, 91% of codebases contain components that are either more than four years out of date or have had no development activity in the past two years. These libraries pose significant security risks.

At Seal Security, our mission goes beyond simply fixing vulnerabilities in open source libraries—we aim to ensure that every patch we implement keeps your applications running smoothly. Patching an old library isn’t just about addressing the vulnerability; it's also about ensuring the fixed version works exactly as it did when it was first built.
