Built to measure what vendors conceal.
These tools do not exist anywhere else. They represent years of methodology development and the only systematic approach to measuring vendor disclosure compliance at scale.
Silent Patch Detection at Scale
The Ghost Patch Scanner analyzes commit histories to identify security-relevant code changes that lack corresponding public disclosure. It classifies commits by their actual code change patterns, not by commit message labels or vendor-provided metadata.
What It Detects
Authentication bypasses patched without advisory. Authorization changes without CVE. Input validation additions with no changelog entry. Cryptographic implementation fixes with no disclosure. Denial-of-service condition removals with no notification to downstream users.
Scale
The scanner has processed over 6,700 security-relevant commits across 9 major projects in a single sweep. It operates on any Git repository and produces a complete inventory of patched-but-undisclosed vulnerabilities with severity classification.
Fork Propagation Analysis
The Cascade Propagation Engine takes the output of the Ghost Patch Scanner and maps it across every known fork of the target project. For each fork, it identifies which patches have been incorporated, which are missing, and the exposure window for each gap.
What It Maps
Exact commit-level gap analysis per fork. Exposure window duration for each missing patch. Severity distribution across the fork ecosystem. Combined financial exposure across all affected networks.
Upstream Divergence Measurement
The Fork Drift Analyzer measures how far a fork has diverged from its upstream source, with specific focus on security-relevant divergence. A fork that is 1,554 commits behind upstream is not just outdated. It is carrying a quantifiable security debt that grows with every upstream release cycle it skips.
What It Measures
Total commit divergence from upstream. Security-class commit gap. Release cycles skipped. Drift velocity (accelerating or converging). Estimated remediation effort to close the gap.
The tools are proprietary. The results are available.
Silent Patch Intelligence subscriptions deliver monthly reports powered by these tools. Engagement clients receive full tool output for their target ecosystem.
