Worked on the ls1intum/edutelligence repository to enhance software supply chain security by implementing automated dependency scanning using Mend, formerly known as WhiteSource. Developed a new JSON configuration file that defines scan settings, branch monitoring, and issue reporting thresholds, enabling proactive identification and management of vulnerabilities in third-party components. Focused on DevOps and security automation, the integration supports continuous monitoring across branches and improves visibility into potential risks. No bugs were reported during this period, reflecting a focus on feature delivery. This work established a foundation for ongoing vulnerability management and demonstrated readiness for CI/CD security practices within the project.
