Eclipse Steady
Eclipse Steady is an open-source tool for analyzing Java and Python applications that depend on open-source components with known vulnerabilities. It combines static and dynamic analysis to determine whether vulnerable code is reachable or executed in an application context, using a code-focused, usage-based assessment rather than metadata alone. The project includes Java and Python client tools, server-side REST services, and web frontends. Documentation covers Java scans for Maven, Gradle, and command-line workflows, plus Python command-line scanning. Jenkins and other continuous-integration systems can automate scans. Java Maven reports can be written as HTML, XML, or JSON. Its backend runs as a Docker Compose application during scans, storing vulnerability information and results. Initial setup processes code-level vulnerability data, followed by daily delta updates. Eclipse Steady is free under Apache License 2.0; version 3.2.5 is labeled an Incubator Project.
