A Reliable CVE Dependency Check: How-To

dependency-check is a standalone maven plugin which checks for vulnerable dependencies. It’s hosted on GitHub. I switched to it from the victims-db, which no longer looks like it is updated. I had to carefully analyze the output, it was very helpful finding one issue where we had an unintended include.

Build

export TAG=4.10.2
git checkout ${TAG}
mvn clean install -f fhir-examples -DskipTests
mvn clean install -f fhir-parent -DskipTests
mvn org.owasp:dependency-check-maven:check -f fhir-parent/ -l output-${TAG}.log
grep -e 'vulnerabilities' -e CVE- output-${TAG}.log  > summary-${TAG}.log

Output Note, this is some what cleaned up.
