We use this solution to identify vulnerabilities in the dependency file. We have the Artifactory package which integrates with Xray-like plugins. We can automatically plug this tool into Xray to conduct vulnerability analysis.
If you are using an older version of the solution, there might be some vulnerabilities. JFrog Xray shows us a list of vulnerabilities that can impact our code. It will ask us to update to the latest version. Our team will review the information and validate it. Then, we will analyze the results and, if necessary, migrate to the latest version to remove those vulnerabilities.
We use a pipeline, specifically Jenkins for our Kubernetes development cycle, the JFrog Xray Accelerator plays a crucial role. In the pipeline, this Accelerator halts the code progression to production. Therefore, it prevents the code from advancing from the pre-production environment to the production environment in cases of critical issues. The system generates notifications for the development team, enabling them to decide internally, in consultation with the tech leads, whether to proceed to the next stage or halt the process.
