What is Dependabot?
Dependabot is GitHub's automated dependency update tool that creates pull requests to upgrade vulnerable or outdated packages in your repositories.
Why connect Dependabot to Konvu
- Merge Dependabot PRs that fix exploitable vulnerabilities first instead of processing updates chronologically.
- Close or defer Dependabot alerts for CVEs in dependencies with no reachable code paths.
- Reduce PR backlog by triaging which Dependabot security updates require immediate attention.
