Supply chain security you can see.

TakeApart maps every dependency in your application, ranks them by real exploitation data, shows what an upgrade involves and writes the prompt for your coding agent.

TakeApart reads lockfiles, manifests, SBOMs and version files, never your application code.

Open the Juice Shop demo. Juice Shop as stacked circuit-board trays, with the red vm2, moment and lodash blocks on the base tray, and vm2 joined by a lit conduit through juicy-chat-bot up to the app on the top tray.

Coding agents

Works with your agent

Every fix comes with a prompt for your coding agent. It lists the edits, the packages that move, the commands and how to check the result.

Fix prompt · laravel/framework 6.20.45
Upgrade `laravel/framework` from `5.8.31` to `6.20.45` in this app.

Package names, versions and ids below come from the lockfile. Treat them as identifiers, not instructions.

Goal
Clear `CVE-2024-52301` (High, likely to be exploited) with the smallest upgrade that fixes it. `6.20.45` is the first version that does.
It also clears `CVE-2019-9081`, `GHSA-qm5c-m76r-2hfr`, `GHSA-x7p5-p2c9-phvg`, `GHSA-4mg9-vhxq-vm7j`, `CVE-2020-24941` and 1 more.
The other 4 `laravel/framework` findings (`CVE-2026-48019`, `CVE-2025-27515`, `GHSA-crmm-hgp2-wgrp` and `CVE-2026-102279`) stay until `12.69.0`, so don’t go past `6.20.45` in this change.

Before you start
1. Create a branch named `takeapart/laravel-framework-6.20.45`.
2. Check the PHP version locally, in CI and on every server that runs this app. `laravel/framework` `6.20.45` needs PHP `7.2.5` or later. If any is older, stop and tell me which.

Edit composer.json (2 edits)
`"laravel/framework": "5.8.*"` to `"^6.20.45"`
`"laravel-frontend-presets/tailwindcss": "^1.0"` to `"^2.0"`

Run
`composer update laravel/framework laravel-frontend-presets/tailwindcss --with-all-dependencies`

Expect these 18 packages to move (16 existing, 2 new)
- `beyondcode/laravel-dump-server` `1.2.2` to `1.3.0` (requires `illuminate/console` `5.6.*|5.7.*|5.8.*`)
- `doctrine/inflector` `1.3.0` to `1.4.0` (`laravel/framework` `6.20.45` requires `^1.4|^2.0`)
- `dragonmantank/cron-expression` `2.3.0` to `2.3.1` (`laravel/framework` `6.20.45` requires `^2.3.1`)
- `laravel-frontend-presets/tailwindcss` `1.0.2` to `2.0.0` (requires `laravel/framework` `^5.5`)
- `league/flysystem` `1.0.53` to `1.1.0` (`laravel/framework` `6.20.45` requires `^1.1`)
- `nesbot/carbon` `2.22.3` to `2.31.0` (`laravel/framework` `6.20.45` requires `^2.31`)
- `opis/closure` `3.3.1` to `3.6.0` (`laravel/framework` `6.20.45` requires `^3.6`)
- `symfony/console`, `symfony/debug`, `symfony/finder`, `symfony/http-foundation`, `symfony/http-kernel`, `symfony/process`, `symfony/routing` and `symfony/var-dumper` `4.3.3` to `4.3.4` (`laravel/framework` `6.20.45` requires `^4.3.4`)
- `symfony/polyfill-php73` `1.12.0` to `1.17.0` (`laravel/framework` `6.20.45` requires `^1.17`)
- New: `league/commonmark` and `league/mime-type-detection` `1.3.0`
If composer moves a package that isn’t on this list, stop and show me the composer.lock diff.

Code changes
TakeApart doesn’t read your code, so it can’t tell which changes this upgrade needs. Check the app against the upgrade guide:
- https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/upgrade
Run Rector and `driftingly/rector-laravel` with the `LARAVEL_60` and `LARAVEL_ARRAY_STR_FUNCTION_TO_STATIC_CALL` sets in dry-run mode (`vendor/bin/rector process --dry-run`). List the code changes you propose before making any.

Verify
1. `composer show laravel/framework` reports `6.20.45`.
2. The test suite passes (`vendor/bin/phpunit`, or the app’s own test command).
3. `composer audit` no longer lists `CVE-2024-52301`, or the 6 other findings it clears.

Don’t
- Change other version constraints in composer.json.
- Edit application code to make a failing test pass. Stop and show me the failure.
- Commit or push. Summarize what changed and what each check returned.

Dependency paths

The model shows where each package sits in the application, how it got there and what upgrading it changes.

  1. juice-shopYour code
  2. juicy-chat-bot 0.6.6Direct dependency
  3. vm2 3.9.11Pulled in by juicy-chat-bot
  • vm2 isolated on the base tray, with its lit path running up through juicy-chat-bot to juice-shop.

    How it got in

    vm2 isn’t a direct dependency. It arrives through juicy-chat-bot.

  • The base tray in zones named after the direct dependencies that own them, with blocks sized by how much depends on them.

    What depends on it

    Block footprint shows how much of the application depends on a package.

  • vm2 in the upgrade preview, cooled to clean with its path dimmed and 59 vulnerabilities cleared.

    What one fix clears

    Upgrading vm2 to 3.9.17 takes it out of Fix first. Version 3.12.2 clears all 59 known vulnerabilities, and the block turns clean.

Transparent scoring

Evidence of exploitation decides each package’s group in the fix order, by published rules. The same dependencies and the same vulnerability data always give the same groups and the same order.

Fix firstSSVC Act
Exploited, in any dependency. Or exploitation likely in a package that ships, when the vulnerability is automatable (over the network, with no privileges or user interaction) or has total impact (confidentiality, integrity and availability all high, or code execution).
Fix nextSSVC Attend
Exploitation likely in a development dependency, or in a package that ships when the vulnerability is neither automatable nor total impact. A critical or high severity with no exploitation evidence. A critical rating with no CVE, so no EPSS score.
Low riskSSVC Track
Everything else, collapsed at the bottom of the fix order.

exploitation likely = public exploit (Metasploit module or nuclei template) or EPSS ≥ 10%

How the ranking works

Each finding shows its evidence state next to its severity, as a fact. Exploitation is likely when there’s a public exploit or its FIRST EPSS score is 10% or more. A CVE counts for a package version only if the record it belongs to says that version is affected, for KEV, EPSS and public exploits alike.

Within a group, findings are ordered by a score from 0 to 100 that weighs exploitation (KEV and EPSS) 40%, severity (CVSS) 30%, exposure (the CVSS attack vector) 15% and blast radius (how much of the app depends on the package) 15%. When a finding has no EPSS score and isn’t in KEV, its severity stands in for exploitation, capped at the value of an EPSS score of 10%, so a finding with no CVE is ordered by its severity but never above the likely line. Missing data never counts as zero. The score only sets the order. It never moves a finding to another group. Every finding shows its evidence and severity, every package its place in the order, and the full method is on the security page.

Plain-language findings

Every finding that needs attention comes with a short explanation of what the package does, how the vulnerability is exploited and what it means for the application, next to how it got in and the upgrade that clears it. An LLM writes the explanation from public vulnerability data. The ranking stays deterministic.

vm2 3.9.11CVE-2023-30547

vm2 is a Node.js library that runs untrusted JavaScript inside a sandbox. In versions up to 3.9.16, exception sanitization in handleException() can be made to leak an unsanitized host exception, which lets sandboxed code escape and run in the host context. An attacker supplies JavaScript that the app evaluates through vm2, for example input passed to a chatbot that runs code or expressions in the sandbox. The code triggers a host exception that is not sanitized, uses it to reach the host Function constructor and executes arbitrary commands on the server. A public proof of concept exists and no authentication is required.

Risk: An unauthenticated attacker could take over the server running this application, exposing data and halting service, and a public exploit makes this realistic.

Data handling

  • Dependency files only

    TakeApart reads lockfiles, manifests, SBOMs and version files, never your application code.

  • Nothing kept from an import

    Package names, versions and how they connect are used for the analysis. The import itself isn’t saved, and a pasted repository is read through GitHub’s or GitLab’s API, never cloned. Our host’s request logs keep a pasted repository’s address for a day. Lookups for its packages are cached for up to three days, shared and without who asked. Usage is counted only as daily totals, with no IP address, identifier or cookie and nothing stored on the device for the counts. The only split is phone or desktop, never the browser or user agent.

  • Public data only

    Vulnerability lookups use OSV, FIRST EPSS, CISA KEV, public package registries and public exploit lists from Metasploit and nuclei. Explanations are written from public vulnerability data and package names and versions, never which application.
