How to FIND and FIX vulnerabilities (CVEs) in your Python Environment
You can use the ActiveState Platform to remediate vulnerable Python, Perl, and Tcl runtime environments by selecting non-vulnerable package versions, and automatically rebuilding your environment, helping to shortcut the lengthy remediation process.
In this video, we show you how a vulnerability in Django is fixed in minutes!
Ready to give it a try? Find and Fix CVEs’ features are available on the Platform for all users. If you have a free ActiveState Platform account, you can create your own project and remediate it, or you can fork these sample vulnerable environments and try to remediate them:
For Python: PyVulnerable project
For Perl: PerlVulnerable project

At ActiveState, we use the Platform to build not only our popular open source language distributions, but also custom runtimes for our enterprise clients (i.e. builds containing just the language and packages their project requires). Try it out yourself or get a demo and understand how it can support your enterprise’s open source needs.
Use our Platform to build a custom runtime for your next project, including just the language and packages your project needs.
- Choose a language (Python, Perl or Tcl right now)
- Select your operating system (Linux or Windows, plus Mac for Python)
- Add the packages your project requires
ActiveState regularly pulls packages from each language’s standard open source repository (CPAN, PyPI, etc) to ensure that your open source language and components are up to date, can be compiled from source, and are then verified to work together in a distribution that is packaged for most major operating systems.
