How to Avoid Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities

Some of the ways to prevent the use of vulnerable components are:

• 
  Remove all unnecessary dependencies.
  
• 
  Have an inventory of all your components on the client-side and server-side.
  
• 
  Monitor sources like Common Vulnerabilities and Disclosures (CVE) and National Vulnerability Database (NVD) for vulnerabilities in the components.
  
• 
  Obtain components only from official sources.
  
• 
  Get rid of components not actively maintained.
  
• 
  Use virtual patching with the help of a Website Application Firewall.
