Observability

Vulnerabilities in Dynatrace

Detect vulnerabilities actually exploitable at runtime, third-party and in your code.

1. What is Vulnerabilities for? #

Detect vulnerabilities actually exploitable at runtime, third-party and in your code.

The principle #

The Vulnerabilities app relies on Runtime Vulnerability Analytics: it analyzes what is running, not only what is deployed. A vulnerability is only reported if the component is loaded. It covers third-party and open source libraries, as well as in-house code.

Vulnerabilities : OneAgent → Data flows → Risk score → Priorities

2. Key features #

What the app offers.

Overview #

FeatureRole
Vulnérabilités tiercesComponent names and versions matched against vulnerability feeds
Vulnérabilités du codeRuntime code inspection and user input tracking (OneAgent 1.259+)
ContextePublic exposure, data access, affected entity
RemplacementThe former Third-Party and Code-Level Vulnerabilities apps are deprecated

3. Getting started #

First steps.

Step by step #

  1. Enable detection in Settings > Application Security > Vulnerability Analytics.
  2. Open Vulnerabilities and sort by risk.
  3. Check whether the component is exposed and touches data.
  4. Fix, then track resolution.

Prerequisites #

  • Deep monitoring enabled on processes.
  • Bundlers such as Webpack hide components: detection decreases.
Prioritize. A critical vulnerability in a never-loaded library weighs less than a medium one exposed on the Internet: that is the point of runtime analysis.
