----------------------------------
Summary: Please add OWASP Dependency Check to the build (pom.xml)
Key: NIFI-5541
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5541
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Tools and Build
Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.8.0
Environment: All development, build, test, environments.
Reporter: Albert Baker
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 that get pulled into
the released product via dependant/third-party 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 newly discovered & reported
(known) vulnerailities. Project teams that keep up with removing known
vulnerabilities on a weekly basis will help protect businesses that rely on
these open source componets.
