Findings → reviewable PRs → safe merges
Minimal diffs and tests included so reviewers can say "yes" faster—without risky guesswork.
Who it's for: Developers · Code owners · DevSecOps
Outcomes (measured where it counts)
MTTR down
Fewer cycles between "found" and "fixed" (SoSS half-life context).
Review friction down
Tests ship with the patch; reviewers focus on logic, not reproducing issues.
Security debt down
More merges per sprint, fewer carry-overs.
How AutoPatch works
Select
Select a finding from SAST/Secrets/Supply-chain.
Generate
Generate a patch that targets the exact sink/source with a minimal diff.
Test
Ship tests alongside the fix (unit/integration, where applicable).
Review
Open a PR into your branch with clear explanations and rollback guidance.
Real examples from our AutoPatch engine
SQL injection (Node.js)
Transform string concatenation into parameterized queries with tests.
// BEFORE: string concatenation
const q = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $${req.params.id}`;// AFTER: parameterized query
const q = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1";
db.query(q, [req.params.id]);XSS (React)
Replace dangerous HTML injection with safe rendering patterns.
// BEFORE: untrusted HTML
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: userBio }} />// AFTER: escape or render safely
<div>{sanitize(userBio)}</div>Fits your toolchain
CI/CD
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins (PR checks, on-merge, scheduled).
Policy
Block merges on "high", require tests to pass, enforce code-owner review.
Languages
JS/TS, Python, Java, Go (starter set, extend over time).
ROI (analyst-style)
Time saved
(avg. hours per fix × fixes/month) × blended engineering rate.
Risk reduced
Shrink exposure windows (IBM breach cost context).
Toil avoided
Fewer context switches and "tribal debugging."
Proof & trust
~252-day half-life
To fix 50% of flaws (Veracode 2025) → speed matters.
$4.4M global average
Breach cost (IBM 2025) → minutes vs. months can move the needle.
FAQs
Will AutoPatch break builds?
PRs include tests; your CI gates decide what merges.
Can we edit patches?
Yes. They're standard PRs—request changes or push commits.
How safe is it?
Minimal diffs, scoped changes, and tests reduce blast radius.
On-prem?
Supported on Enterprise.
Coverage?
Expands over time; see /docs/autopatch-recipes.
