Tracing Transitive Vulnerabilities
Build a dependency-tree map of a project (npm or Python) and trace the path from each known-vulnerable transitive package back to one or more direct dependencies. Identifies which direct-dep bump would clear the most findings at once (highest-leverage upgrade), which vulnerabilities are unreachable through any version bump and require overrides or vendor-patch, and which CVEs sit at deep transitive depth (3+ levels from a direct dep) where blast-radius triage is hardest. Use when: a multi-finding audit produces noise and you need to prioritize, when planning a major dependency refresh, after an upstream package compromise hits your tree (e.g. event-stream flatmap-stream), or when an audit shows findings that automated fix commands cannot auto-resolve. Threshold: any HIGH or CRITICAL CVE reachable only through transitive paths that no single direct-dep bump can clear. Trigger with: "trace transitive vulns", "find dep paths", "SBOM vuln trace", "which direct dep pulls this CVE".
