Francesco Chicchiriccò commented on SYNCOPE-1349:
-------------------------------------------------
[~massi] just one point: I am not the boss, Apache Syncope is a
community-driven Open Source projects, as all the projects at The ASF ;-)
[~ABakerIII] we're not particularly lucky; only, we take great care in keeping
our dependencies as much updated as possible, and this brings as consequence
that as many CVEs as possible are fixed, in our dependencies
Having said that, I am generally +1 to introduce such kind of automated checks,
but the provided tool does not seem fit for the job, as said above.
> Please add OWASP Dependency Check to the build (pom.xml)

> Key: SYNCOPE-1349
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNCOPE-1349
> Project: Syncope
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.0.10, 2.1.1, 3.0.0
> Environment: All development, build, test, environments.
> Reporter: Albert Baker
> Priority: Major
> Labels: build, easy-fix, security
> Attachments: dependency-check-report.html
>
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> Please add OWASP Dependency Check to the build (pom.xml). OWASP DC makes an
> outbound REST call to MITRE Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures (CVE) to
> perform a lookup for each dependant .jar to list any/all known
> vulnerabilities for each jar. This step is needed because a manual MITRE CVE
> lookup/check on the main component does not include checking for
> vulnerabilities in components or in dependant libraries.
> OWASP Dependency check :
> https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Dependency_Check has plug-ins for most
> Java build/make types (ant, maven, ivy, gradle).
> Also, add the appropriate command to the nightly build to generate a report
> of all known vulnerabilities in any/all third party libraries/dependencies
> that get pulled in. example : mvn -Powasp -Dtest=false -DfailIfNoTests=false
> clean aggregate
> Generating this report nightly/weekly will help inform the project's
> development team if any dependant libraries have a reported known
> vulnerailities. Project teams that keep up with removing vulnerabilities on
> a weekly basis will help protect businesses that rely on these open source
> componets.
