The problem, as people describe it
DevOps and security engineers in software companies using Dependabot face a critical issue where security updates for one vulnerability inadvertently downgrade a package to a version still vulnerable to another, previously patched advisory. This creates a continuous cycle of re-introducing security risks, undermining security posture and increasing audit failures and potential breaches.
