Cut Through the Noise: Prioritizing Exploitable CVEs with Jit + Sweet Security

Open source security scanners generate overwhelming volumes of potential security issues that need to be manually investigated to determine their true risk. Open source dependencies introduce a constant stream of CVEs, but not every vulnerability is actually exploitable. Without runtime context, teams waste time chasing issues that pose little to no real risk—slowing down development and diverting focus from true risks.

That’s why we’re excited to announce Jit's integration with Sweet Security. By leveraging Sweet Security’s runtime-powered insights, Jit can now identify which CVEs are actively loaded in an application’s memory, helping AppSec teams and developers cut through the noise and focus on vulnerabilities that actually matter.

Patrick McKinney, VP of Security at Invisible, summarizes the benefits of the integration nicely:

“Understanding which vulnerabilities are truly exploitable in a live environment is a game-changer for security teams. By integrating Sweet Security’s runtime insights with Jit’s automated code vulnerability detection and triage, we’re empowering teams to cut through the noise and focus on the risks that matter most."

Why we partnered with our friends at Sweet Security

Jit’s goal has always been to help teams streamline security and remediate issues before they become breaches. This integration enhances that mission by bringing runtime visibility into Jit’s security workflows.

  • Focus on vulnerabilities that matter: Stop wasting time on CVEs that aren’t reachable by attackers. Jit now flags actively loaded vulnerabilities so teams can prioritize the real risks.

  • Smarter security triage: Reachable CVEs automatically increase an issue’s risk score in Jit, keeping critical vulnerabilities at the top of your backlog.

  • Seamless handoff to developers: Security teams can automatically route exploitable vulnerabilities directly to the relevant development teams, ensuring fast and efficient remediation.

With this integration, Jit customers gain a smarter, context-aware approach to vulnerability management—one that aligns security with real-world risk.

Use Case: How It Works in Practice

Let’s say you’re an AppSec Team Leader struggling with an overwhelming volume of open source vulnerabilities. You know that fixing every CVE isn’t realistic—but how do you determine which ones actually need your attention?

That’s where runtime insights from Sweet Security come in. By detecting which vulnerable packages are actively loaded in memory during runtime, Sweet Security helps Jit distinguish between theoretical and truly exploitable risks.

Within Jit’s platform, you’ll now be able to:

  • See which CVEs detected in your codebase are actually reachable in production.

  • Filter for "Reachable" security issues directly in Jit to prioritize critical vulnerabilities.

  • Ensure security teams and developers work on the risks that truly impact your application.

This means fewer false alarms, faster remediation, and stronger security—all without adding unnecessary overhead.

Efficient risk mitigation starts with runtime context

Jit’s integration with Sweet Security is a game-changer for vulnerability management. By combining automated security detection with runtime-powered context, we’re making it easier for teams to focus on the vulnerabilities that actually matter—before they become a real threat.
