Surprise! You Included a Static Link to a Vulnerable Library

A new NetRise report shows how unexpected vulnerable components are included in the build process, making source-code derived SBOMs obsolete.

Static
Linking

Libraries linked at compile time can hide vulnerable versions your scanners never see.

Build Time
Dependency
Resolution

Build tools can silently pull in outdated components that never appear in your SBOM.

Vendored Dependencies

Third-party vendors often bundle hidden code that isn’t declared in manifests but still ships in your software.

Transitive
Dependencies

Dependency chains can introduce legacy modules that slip past scanners and manifest-based SBOMs.

Appsec Testing and Vulnerability Management
Scanners Stop at Source Code

SBOMs and scans often miss components added during build or bundling, creating a false sense of security that hides vulnerabilities in what’s really shipped.

For Product Security Leaders

Validate your SBOMs and reduce downstream risk before release.

Why Traditional SBOMs and Scanners Miss What’s Really Inside ...

  • OpenSSL 3.0.0 was found inside Python during build — invisible to AST scanners.
  • Vendored dependencies like zlib 1.2.8 in rsync evade detection too.
  • Misconfigurations, hard-coded secrets, and legacy cryptography often persist unless you validate binaries.

The bottom line: you don’t really know what you’re shipping, or buying, until you enrich your SBOMs with binary analysis.

“We had no idea [these vulnerabilities] existed in our environment. Yes, our vulnerability trending had a spike, but half the battle is even knowing you had those vulnerabilities in the first place.”

Verify, Then Trust

SBOMs derived from source code miss vulnerabilities and non-CVE risk. Build comprehensive, accurate SBOMs by analyzing compiled code.

Enriched Vulnerability Context & Prioritization

Not all vulnerabilities imply risk. We map findings to execution paths, startup modules, and network exposure so you fix what attackers can reach.

Evidence-Backed SBOM for Compliance

Generate SBOMs validated by binary analysis that stand up in audits and regulatory reviews.
