About:
Xeol is a specialized scanner that identifies end-of-life (EOL) software within container images, filesystems, and SBOMs. It cross-references discovered packages against a comprehensive database of EOL schedules to alert users to unsupported components. This helps organizations proactively mitigate security risks and compliance issues associated with outdated software dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Scans container images, filesystems, and SBOMs for EOL packages
  • Uses a knowledge base of EOL schedules for accurate detection
  • Provides detailed reports on vulnerable, unsupported components
  • Integrates easily into CI/CD pipelines for automated checks
Use Cases:
  • Auditing existing container images for security risks before deployment
  • Monitoring running infrastructure for newly announced EOL software
  • Validating SBOMs to ensure supply chain compliance
Alternatives:
  • Trivy – Trivy focuses on CVEs and vulnerabilities, whereas Xeol specifically targets end-of-life status regardless of known vulnerabilities.
  • Snyk – Snyk offers broader dependency management and license compliance, while Xeol specializes in EOL detection.
