Scope	FortiDevSec SCA scanner updated in version 23.2.a
Solution	Detection against these vulnerabilities is empowered by the FortiDevSec Software Composition Analysis (SCA) scanner. This technology enables FortiDevSec to assess with a high level of confidence if the application codebase is vulnerable to a specific vulnerability by identifying open-source software dependencies. The SCA scanner is enabled by default. Once the scan is performed on an application, the result appears under the Software Composition Analysis tab. A step-by-step guide on how to scan your application is available in the user guide.
