Open LFX Security
LFX Security detects vulnerabilities in the LFX projects. Projects that are part of the LFX receive free daily scans through the LFX Security service in order to detect vulnerabilities in code repositories as well as library dependencies. LFX projects include a Vulnerability Report, which gives an overview of vulnerability severities.
Only project maintainers can access Vulnerability Detection details to gain visibility into open security issues and paths to remediation.
As a project maintainer, you can access vulnerability scan details for projects based on the LFX service you opted while enrolling your project
