What are SCA tools missing in production?

They scan repos brilliantly but can't confirm if vulnerable deps actually run in prod — deployments lag, envs differ, ghosts linger.

How do you inspect AWS Lambda for vulnerabilities?

Zip the function bundles, grep node_modules for CVE'd libs. Automate via API for scale; gives version, env, function facts instantly.

No — it confirms SCA flags. Best as a duo for true exposure.

Everyone figured SCA tools had security covered. Then a 9.8 CVE hit, and production exposure? Total blind spot.
