Fragmented Environment Patch Tracker
A unified SaaS dashboard designed for mixed environments that aggregates OS versions, kernel versions, and running services across bare metal, Proxmox, Docker, WSL, and ARM SBCs. It cross-references this data with real-time CVE databases to alert users exactly which machines need patching and tracks when patches become available.

Community Voices
Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity
- “reading the context of security threats and determining applicability to your circumstance is what everyone should be doing first”
- “Docker containers share the same kernel as the host, right? So updating the kernel on the host should be enough to disable the vulnerability in the containers?”
- “For those running WSL (Docker Desktop on Windows included), the WSL kernel is affected and not patched yet.”
- “Now I’m worried about my VM like zimaos, home assistant, and Ubuntu but hopefully they’re alright”
- “tell readers to apply vendor patches. But before firing away with the publication, they didn’t bother to see if ANY of the vendors that they list ACTUALLY HAVE PATCHES. (None do).”
- “Is there a Debian backport of the patched kernel? Anyone know the version?”
- “Just apply one of the two mitigation until a patched kernel is available and you'll be fine.”
