Open Source Remediation for Financial Services

Fix open source vulnerabilities without touching the platforms that move money

Scanners wait for a public advisory, then hand you a ticket. Seal fixes the vulnerability on the version you already run, often before the advisory is out: no forced upgrade, no regression risk to core banking, payments or trading systems. Every fix comes with the signed evidence your auditors, examiners and regulators ask for.

Your scanner finds it. Seal fixes it.

Your existing scanners flag the vulnerable packages and open tickets, but fixing is still on you, and findings pile up when the fix requires a major upgrade, the package is end-of-life, there is no patch for your version, or the process waits on a public advisory. Seal delivers a sealed version with the same API, pulled from your registry, with signed evidence attached, as soon as the upstream fix commit lands. On the next scan, with the same scanner, the finding closes.

What banks need that SCA tools can't provide

• No forced upgrade: each patched artifact is a drop-in replacement with the same major version, the same API and the same behavior. Change control approves a security patch, not a migration.
• End-of-life coverage: legacy and acquired systems run packages whose maintainers stopped publishing. Seal backports the fix anyway, so "no patch available" stops being an accepted risk.
• Pre-CVE program: Seal backports the upstream security fix when the commit lands, not when the CVE is published. Where no community fix exists, Seal's researchers write one.

Protected by Seal

Across Seal's financial services customers, Seal keeps patched the software behind more than $15T in assets under custody, administration and management, more than $4T in total assets (including two global systemically important banks), and $1.7T in annual payments.

The patch exists upstream. Seal brings it to your version.

Only the security fix is backported onto the exact version you run. The finding closes, and nothing else changes.

1. Isolate only the lines that fix the CVE.
2. Backport them onto the version you run, end-of-life or not.
3. Verify: build, test and prove the CVE is gone.
4. Deliver into Artifactory, Nexus or CI.
5. Close: your scanner sees a fixed version.

Take Spring4Shell (CVE-2022-22965) on spring-beans 4.3.30. In a scanner-only program, the finding is logged, an upgrade ticket to Spring 5.x is opened, and it stays blocked pending a regression cycle that never gets scheduled. With Seal, spring-beans 4.3.30-sp1 is pulled from your registry: CVE closed, same version, evidence attached.

Runs inside your controls, from cloud to air-gapped

• Air-gapped and on-prem: sealed packages are served from your internal registry. Hosts never call Seal.
• Malicious packages and cooldowns: malicious versions are replaced with the last legitimate one, and new releases are held back.
• Transparent replacement: builds pull the sealed version automatically, with no manifest edits and no pull requests.
• Org-wide policy: one Sealing Rule in the Seal platform applies to every pipeline that runs the Seal CLI.

Proof

• 20,000+ unique CVEs patched across 9 ecosystems, including Linux packages.
• 72 hours from disclosure to sealed package.
• 6.5 lines average sealed patch size.

Seal integrates with the scanners, registries and CI/CD you already use, and provides signed records and VEX exports for DORA, PCI DSS 4.0, NYDFS Part 500, FFIEC and OCC, SOX ITGC and SOC 2.
