Abstract

Ensuring system safety and maintaining high-quality software development critically depend on the timely identification and rapid remediation of network security vulnerabilities. In this study, an efficient operating framework is established based on the optimization of the vulnerability management process. From the dual perspectives of vulnerability detection and repair, a comprehensive process improvement is implemented, forming a technical framework that integrates both detection and repair optimization modules. This framework emphasizes security robustness while offering flexible scalability, enabling it to adapt to varying software environments and evolving threat landscapes. During the software development lifecycle, the framework leverages the coordinated application of multiple tools, including automated repair technologies, intelligent detection mechanisms, and cross-department collaboration strategies. Such integration significantly enhances both the efficiency and accuracy of handling security vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the proposed approach supports continuous monitoring and iterative refinement, ensuring that potential security risks are proactively addressed, and that the overall reliability and stability of software systems are improved. By systematically combining detection, repair, and collaborative optimization, the framework provides a practical and scalable solution for strengthening software security and supporting sustainable software development.
