Use Case

Your Code Depends on Thousands of Strangers

Every application you ship is built on open-source components you didn't write. When one of them is vulnerable or compromised, you need to know which services are affected and who needs to act.

Mallory turns your SBOMs into a live defense layer.

The Problem

Open Source Is Your Biggest Unmanaged Attack Surface

The average application has over 200 direct and transitive dependencies. Most security teams have no operational visibility into what happens when one of them is compromised.

You don't know what's in your software

The average application pulls in hundreds of transitive dependencies. A vulnerability in a package four levels deep in your dependency tree is still your problem. Most teams can't even enumerate what they're running.

A compromised package hits the news. Now what?

XZ Utils. event-stream. ua-parser-js. When a malicious or compromised package surfaces, the scramble starts: which repos use it? Which version? Is it in production? The answers live in scattered lock files and CI configs across dozens of services.

SBOMs exist but nobody acts on them

You generate SBOMs for compliance. They sit in a bucket. When a CVE drops against a component in your SBOM, nobody connects the dots. The SBOM is an artifact, not an operational tool.

How Mallory Helps

From Compliance Artifact to Live Defense

Mallory connects your software composition data to real-time threat intelligence. When a component is vulnerable or compromised, you know which services are affected and who needs to remediate.

Dependency Intelligence

Mallory ingests your SBOMs, lock files, and container manifests to build a live map of every open-source component across your software portfolio. When a vulnerability is disclosed against any dependency, direct or transitive, you know immediately.

  • SBOM ingestion across all major formats (CycloneDX, SPDX)
  • Transitive dependency resolution to the full depth of your tree
  • Continuous monitoring against CVE disclosures and exploit intelligence

Compromised Package Detection

Not every software supply chain threat is a CVE. Malicious packages, typosquatting, maintainer account takeovers, and backdoors require a different kind of intelligence. Mallory monitors for these threats across package registries and dark web sources.

  • Monitoring for malicious packages across npm, PyPI, Maven, and more
  • Alerts on maintainer account compromises and suspicious package updates
  • Dark web tracking for leaked credentials tied to open-source infrastructure

Instant Impact Assessment

A Log4Shell-class event drops. Mallory tells you within minutes which services, repositories, and container images use the affected component, which version, whether it's in production, and who owns the remediation.

  • Cross-repository and cross-service component search
  • Version-level matching against affected version ranges
  • Asset owner identification for fast remediation routing

From SBOM Compliance to Operational Defense

Turn your SBOMs from compliance artifacts into live security tools. Mallory continuously correlates your software inventory against threat intelligence so every component is tracked, every vulnerability is surfaced, and every remediation is assigned.

  • Live SBOM dashboards with vulnerability and risk overlay
  • Automated ticket generation when a new CVE affects your components
  • Compliance reporting with audit-ready evidence of remediation
Before & After

The Same Events. A Completely Different Response.

Scenario: Critical CVE in a popular open-source library

Without Mallory

Grep lock files across 50 repos, check container images manually, Slack around asking who uses it

With Mallory

Mallory maps the CVE to every affected service, version, and owner in minutes

Scenario: Malicious package discovered in npm/PyPI

Without Mallory

Hope your developers didn't install it. Check manually if you can find it.

With Mallory

Mallory alerts immediately if any repository or build pipeline references the package

Scenario: Customer asks for your SBOM and vulnerability posture

Without Mallory

Generate an SBOM, manually cross-reference against NVD, compile into a spreadsheet

With Mallory

Mallory provides a live SBOM with current vulnerability status and remediation evidence

Scenario: Audit requires proof of software composition risk management

Without Mallory

Scramble to show that SBOMs exist and that someone looked at them

With Mallory

Mallory provides continuous monitoring logs, remediation trails, and risk trend data

Built for Teams Securing the Software They Ship

AppSec & Product Security

Know what's in your software and what's vulnerable. Mallory maps every dependency to active threat intelligence so you prioritize the components that actually put you at risk.

Security Operations

When a compromised package hits the news, skip the repo-by-repo hunt. Mallory tells you which services are affected and who owns the fix.

Engineering & DevSecOps

Get actionable alerts tied to specific repos, services, and versions. No more generic CVE notifications with no context on where the component actually runs.

The Next XZ Utils Is Coming. Know Your Exposure.

Your software depends on code you didn't write. Mallory gives you continuous visibility into that dependency chain so when something goes wrong, you respond in minutes instead of days.
