# Fix vulnerabilities using the Snyk CLI
The Snyk CLI provides support for fixing vulnerabilities found by using the `snyk test` command. For information about fixes in the Web UI, see [Fix your vulnerabilities](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-open-source/manage-vulnerabilities/fix-your-vulnerabilities.md). For general information about patches, see [Snyk patches to fix vulnerabilities](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-open-source/manage-vulnerabilities/snyk-patches-to-fix-vulnerabilities.md).
If you are using `snyk container test`, see [Understanding Snyk Container CLI results](/developer-tools/snyk-cli/snyk-cli/scan-and-maintain-projects-using-the-cli/snyk-cli-for-snyk-container/understand-snyk-container-cli-results.md) for information about resolving vulnerabilities found in a scan. If you are using `snyk code test`, see [View Snyk Code CLI results](/developer-tools/snyk-cli/snyk-cli/scan-and-maintain-projects-using-the-cli/snyk-cli-for-snyk-code/view-snyk-code-cli-results.md). If you are using `snyk iac test`, see [Understanding the IaC CLI test results](/developer-tools/snyk-cli/snyk-cli/scan-and-maintain-projects-using-the-cli/snyk-cli-for-iac/understand-the-iac-cli-test-results.md).
## Upgrade and patch results from the CLI
From the CLI, for each list (upgrade and patch), results are displayed in groups based on the packages Snyk recommends that you fix. The results include the following:
* details for all vulnerabilities introduced per package; to view all dependency paths affected, use `--show-vulnerable-paths=all` when running `snyk test` or `snyk monitor`
* links to full descriptions of each vulnerability
Upgrade and patch results appear similar to the following:

Patch recommendations appear similar to the following:

## Snyk patches to fix vulnerabilities using the CLI
The `protect` command was replaced by `@snyk/protect`: ; [npm package for `snyk-protect` command](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@snyk/protect). These pages have instructions for using the package and migrating from `snyk protect`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/developer-tools/snyk-cli/snyk-cli/scan-and-maintain-projects-using-the-cli/fix-vulnerabilities-using-the-snyk-cli.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
