Abstract
Flaws in dependencies of deployed applications are identified. In one embodiment, a list of dependencies used by a deployed application that is deployed on the deployment platform is obtained. Each dependency of the list of dependencies is mapped with a flaws database, wherein the flaws database comprising an indication of known flaws for different dependencies and different versions thereof. Based on such mapping, one or more flaws in the deployed application are determined. The determination is performed externally to the deployment platform and without executing a monitoring process thereon.
