Orbit Tracer

Orbit Tracer Security Agent for Intelligent Security Remediation

Automate security vulnerability analysis, risk assessment, and remediation across your entire codebase using AI and Orbit's knowledge graph

The Problem

Security teams face a critical challenge: Finding vulnerabilities is fast. Fixing them takes forever.

Manual vulnerability remediation workflow:
1. SAST scan finds vulnerability         (~5 minutes)
2. Security engineer analyzes impact     (~2 hours)
3. Developer creates fix                 (~1 hour)
4. Code review and approval              (~30 minutes)
5. Merge and deploy                      (~30 minutes)

Total: 4+ hours per vulnerability

With hundreds of findings across multiple codebases, teams drown in manual work while security risks compound.

The Solution

Orbit Tracer transforms security remediation from hours to 45 seconds.

Orbit Tracer automated workflow:
Finding → Blast Radius Analysis → Risk Scoring → MR Creation

45 seconds. End of story.

Using GitLab's Orbit knowledge graph and Claude agent, Orbit Tracer:

• ✅ Analyzes vulnerability impact across entire codebase (3-hop tracing)
• ✅ Scores risk intelligently (1-10 with business context)
• ✅ Generates secure code alternatives automatically
• ✅ Creates merge requests with complete remediation
• ✅ Keeps humans in control (HITL approval gates)

Result: 99.8% time savings. 100% human oversight.

Why Orbit Tracer Is Different

Available Agents

Orbit Tracer includes two complementary security agents:

1. Orbit Tracer (Automated Pipeline) - v1.yml

Fully automated security remediation workflow

• Automatically detects vulnerabilities from SAST
• Queries Orbit knowledge graph for blast radius
• Scores risk with Claude agent
• Creates merge requests with fixes
• Use when: You want hands-off automation
• Agent: .agents/flows/orbit-tracer/v1.yml

2. Orbit Tracer Security Agent ⭐

Interactive security analysis agent for security teams

• Ask questions about vulnerability impact
• Get blast radius analysis instantly
• Identify affected services and code owners
• Understand risk across entire codebase
• Request remediation MRs on demand
• Use when: You want to explore and understand vulnerabilities
• Access Agent: https://gitlab.com/explore/ai-catalog/agents/1011797/

Try the interactive agent: Ask about a security finding to see blast radius, affected services, and risk scoring!

How It Works

6-Step Intelligent Remediation Pipeline

STEP 1: Get Finding
        Extract vulnerability from GitLab SAST scan
               ↓
STEP 2: Query Orbit Knowledge Graph
        3-hop dependency tracing → Blast radius analysis
               ↓
STEP 3: Analyze Risk with Claude Agent
        Risk scoring (1-10) + Business impact assessment
               ↓
STEP 4: Check Approval Threshold (Human-In-The-Loop)
        Critical findings require human approval
               ↓
STEP 5: Draft Secure Code
        Claude generates remediation in detected language
               ↓
STEP 6: Create Merge Request
        GitLab MR with secure code, description, labels

The 10 Test Cases

Orbit Tracer detects and remediates all major vulnerability types:

All test cases include vulnerable + secure code versions for learning and testing.

Quick Start

1. Ask Orbit Tracer About a Vulnerability

✅ Teams notified: @database-team, @security-team

2. Get Intelligent Risk Analysis

Question: "What's the business impact if we don't fix 
the Command Injection?"

Response:
✅ Risk: Remote Code Execution on entire system
✅ Compliance: GDPR violation (4% revenue fine)
✅ Timeline: CRITICAL (fix in 4 hours)
✅ Proposed fix: Use subprocess.run() with arg list

3. Automatic Merge Request Creation
