HeroDevs provides a platform that scans codebases for open‑source libraries that have reached end‑of‑life and supplies continuously patched, drop‑in replacements to eliminate security and compatibility risks. The service integrates with CI/CD pipelines, offers proactive vulnerability remediation, and publishes OpenVEX data to reduce false positives for engineering and security teams.

Problem
Software projects that rely on open‑source libraries often inherit risk when those libraries reach end‑of‑life (EOL). Once a library is no longer maintained, it stops receiving security patches and compatibility updates, leaving applications exposed to known vulnerabilities and integration breakages.
Solution
HeroDevs offers a Never‑Ending Support (NES) platform that identifies EOL dependencies in a codebase and provides secure, drop‑in replacements that are continuously patched and kept compatible with modern environments. The service delivers proactive vulnerability remediation, sometimes before public disclosure, and maintains runtime compatibility across browsers, third‑party libraries, and server platforms. HeroDevs also publishes OpenVEX data to help downstream scanning tools filter false positives. By integrating directly into existing development pipelines, the platform enables engineering and security teams to keep legacy open‑source components safe without extensive rewrites.
Target Audience
Primary customers are engineering and security teams at enterprises that depend on open‑source software and need to manage EOL risk without disrupting production.
