You may also want to look into the OWASP Dependency-Check [1] [2]
tools which has plugins for Maven, Jenkins and other tools/plugins.
I've used this before and was impressed with the results, it uses the
NIST CVE database to check all project dependencies.

The problem with this kind of tool is that it is a static analysis
which generally doesn't catch things like SQL injection, XSS or ENTITY
expansion that occur at runtime (it will ofcourse raise a flag if it's
a known bad dependency). That would still require a pen test with
something like the Zed Attack Proxy [3]

Also, there are false positives to handle and investigate.

I have an example, running as part of the site phase, setup here [4],
report here [5]
