Runs the loop from discovering a weakness to confirming it is fixed — scanning, triage, prioritization by real exploitability, remediation tracking, and patch policy. Use this to stand up or fix a vulnerability program, triage scanner output, decide what to fix first, set patch SLAs, handle a disclosure from an outside researcher, or report posture to leadership.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Vulnerability management

Scanners are cheap and produce more findings than any team can fix. The whole discipline is deciding
what actually matters and closing those.

## Prioritize by exploitability, not by score

A published severity score describes the vulnerability in the abstract. What matters is your
instance of it. Rank by:

- **Is it reachable?** Internet-facing beats internal beats unreachable code path by a wide margin. A
  critical in a dependency you import but never call is not a critical for you.
- **Is it being exploited in the wild?** Known-exploited status should outrank a higher score that
  nobody is using.
- **What does exploitation yield here?** Compromise of the system holding customer data outranks the
  same bug on a build agent.
- **Is there a compensating control**, and does it actually work?

A queue sorted purely by severity guarantees the team spends its time on the wrong things while a
medium-rated, internet-facing, actively exploited bug waits.

## Triage discipline

Every finding gets one of four outcomes, each recorded: **fix**, **mitigate**, **accept** (with an
expiry and a named owner), or **false positive** (with the reason).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/vulnerability-management@sha256:505d5042a987b67b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.0e7cd01, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
