# Seal Vendor Apps

**Seal Vendor Apps** remediates vulnerabilities in vendor-supplied container images you run, such as a Kafka image, a database image, or any third-party application that ships as a container.

## What it covers

Inside the vendor's container image:

* OS-level packages.
* Language runtimes.
* Open-source dependencies bundled as standalone artifacts (typically JAR files and Python wheels).

Seal Vendor Apps does not modify the vendor's own application code.

## How it is delivered

Seal Vendor Apps runs in place inside the vendor's container in your environment, similar to [Seal OS](/new-documentation/new-docs/product-family/seal-os.md). The Seal CLI applies fixes to the open-source packages, runtime, and embedded artifacts where they live in the image; the vendor's code is untouched.
