True Positives Releases Vulnerability Atlas

A Free Interactive Tool Mapping Top 10 Lists to Fundamental Security Flaws

True Positives today announced the release of Vulnerability Atlas, an interactive tool that maps security vulnerabilities across six Top 10 lists to ten canonical core flaws. Created by CTO Evan Oslick, who brings over 30 years of software engineering and security expertise, the tool addresses a persistent challenge facing security and engineering teams: the fragmented nature of vulnerability guidance across Web, API, LLM, Agentic, Mobile, and Kubernetes domains.

Origins in Client Engagements

The genesis of Vulnerability Atlas lies in patterns observed during True Positives' managed application security engagements. Teams routinely received findings referencing one OWASP list, then encountered similar issues categorized under a different list in another application context, and struggled to recognize that both reports described the same underlying weakness. This fragmentation created duplicated remediation efforts and obscured the architectural roots of security problems.

True Positives recognized that no readily available resource existed to help practitioners see across these lists and understand the common implementation flaws beneath surface-level categorizations. Vulnerability Atlas fills that gap.

A Unified View of Vulnerability Categories

The tool's central premise is that many of the top vulnerabilities map to the same software architecture and programming flaws. Prompt injection, SQL injection, and goal hijacking, for instance, are manifestations of the same fundamental problem: untrusted input altering execution logic. By consolidating dozens of vulnerability categories into ten core patterns, Vulnerability Atlas helps teams recognize that securing against one variant often addresses the others, reducing duplicated effort and enabling more strategic security investments.

Interactive Architecture Mapping

Beyond the taxonomy, the tool provides an interactive architecture diagram that visually connects vulnerabilities to the specific components where they typically manifest, spanning client, edge, runtime, and data layers. When users select a vulnerability, the relevant architecture nodes illuminate, making it immediately clear where to focus defensive controls. Each core flaw includes detailed descriptions, exploitation patterns, and recommended security controls with practical implementation guidance.

Contributing to the AppSec Community

Vulnerability Atlas represents True Positives' first public contribution to the broader application security and software assurance community. By publishing a freely available utility of genuine practical value, the firm aims to demonstrate the technical depth that informs its managed services while creating a resource that benefits practitioners regardless of whether they become clients.

"Firms that genuinely contribute to their discipline occupy a different position in the market than those that simply deliver services," said Dondi Simon, Vice President of Sales and General Manager at True Positives. "The Atlas reflects how we think about security architecture. That perspective carries through to our client work and the partnerships we build."

Alignment with Technical Partnership Strategy

The release of Vulnerability Atlas coincides with True Positives' strategic partnership with Invicti, a leader in dynamic application security testing. Both initiatives reflect the firm's commitment to substantive technical capability over marketing claims. Where the Atlas helps practitioners understand the architectural roots of vulnerabilities, Invicti's DAST platform provides the automated detection capabilities that True Positives deploys for clients requiring managed scanning services or in-house platform licensing.

Availability

Vulnerability Atlas is available now as a free, self-contained HTML tool that runs entirely in the browser with no backend dependencies. The project is released under a dual license (AGPL-3.0 for open-source use, commercial license available) and can be accessed at https://vulnerability-atlas.true-positives.com.
