PatchProbe

PatchProbe is a web app (with a lightweight agent/CLI) that validates security fixes by automatically re-running the exact exploit conditions that originally triggered a vulnerability. Instead of trusting ticket status or version numbers, it captures a “vuln fingerprint” (request/response patterns, headers, auth context, environment details) from a failing test and turns it into a repeatable security regression test. After a patch, PatchProbe replays the scenario in CI and in staging, flags partial fixes (e.g., blocked endpoint but alternate path still vulnerable), and produces an audit-ready report for QA, security, and compliance. It’s not a full scanner; it’s a verification layer that sits between pentest findings and release sign-off. Expect some setup friction (agents, network access, test data), but the payoff is fewer re-opened vulns and less arguing between dev, QA, and security about whether something is truly fixed.
