Aikido buys Root to backport open source security fixes
Aikido Security has acquired Root for $70 million and will fold its in-place vulnerability patching into a new product called Aikido Libraries. The company says it will also backport fixes for actively exploited vulnerabilities on CISA’s KEV list to open source projects for free across ecosystems including npm, PyPI, and Maven. The deal aims to reduce the gap between finding a vulnerability and fixing it without forcing immediate upgrades.
