Your question is Automating Vulnerability Detection. Start with the requirements on the right.

Problem

Tell me about a time you built automation to detect vulnerabilities at scale.

Implement find_unique_vulnerabilities(findings) as a compact coding exercise. Each finding is [asset_id, vulnerability_id, severity, timestamp]. Return one finding per (asset_id, vulnerability_id), keeping the highest severity and, among equal severities, the earliest timestamp. Sort the result by asset_id, then vulnerability_id.

Constraints

0 <= findings.length <= 10^4
Each finding contains exactly four values: asset_id, vulnerability_id, severity, and timestamp
asset_id and vulnerability_id are non-empty strings
severity is one of: low, medium, high, critical
timestamp is an integer
The output must contain at most one record for each asset and vulnerability pair
