How to FIND and FIX vulnerabilities (CVEs) in your Python Environment
Two of the most important issues faced by development teams include timely vulnerability remediation and knowing which component/version of a component is safe to use. The ActiveState Platform addresses both issues.
You can use the ActiveState Platform to remediate vulnerable Python, Perl, and Tcl runtime environments by selecting non-vulnerable package versions, and automatically rebuilding your environment, helping to shortcut the lengthy remediation process.
In this video, we show you how a vulnerability in Django is fixed in minutes!
Ready to give it a try? Find and Fix CVEs’ features are available on the Platform for all users. If you have a free ActiveState Platform account, you can create your own project and remediate it, or you can fork these sample vulnerable environments and try to remediate them:
For Python: PyVulnerable project
For Perl: PerlVulnerable project

At ActiveState, we use the Platform to build not only our popular open source language distributions, but also custom runtimes for our enterprise clients (i.e., builds containing just the language and packages their project requires). Try it out yourself or get a demo and understand how it can support your enterprise’s open source needs.
