-------------------------------------
Summary: Please add OWASP Dependency Check to the build (pom.xml)
Key: TAVERNA-1052
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAVERNA-1052
Project: Apache Taverna
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Taverna Common Activities, Taverna Engine, Taverna
Server, Taverna Workbench
Environment: All development, build, test, environments.
Reporter: Albert Baker
Fix For: workbench 3.1.0, common activities 2.2.0, engine 3.2.0,
server 3.2.0
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.
