Otto Fowler commented on NIFI-5541:
-----------------------------------
It is highly unlikely that it will be as simple as updating the pom.xml. Each
of these changes would have to be a separate issue/Jira with it's own
evaluation, execution, testing, and acceptance
> 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
> Assignee: Pierre Villard
> Priority: Major
> Labels: build, easy-fix, security
> 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 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.
