Find and fix vulnerable dependencies

org.openrewrite.java.dependencies.DependencyVulnerabilityCheck

This software composition analysis (SCA) tool detects and upgrades dependencies with publicly disclosed vulnerabilities. This recipe both generates a report of vulnerable dependencies and upgrades to newer versions with fixes. This recipe only upgrades to the latest patch version. If a minor or major upgrade is required to reach the fixed version, this recipe will not make any changes. Vulnerability information comes from the GitHub Security Advisory Database, which aggregates vulnerability data from several public databases, including the National Vulnerability Database maintained by the United States government. Upgrades dependencies versioned according to Semantic Versioning.

Options

TypeNameDescriptionExample
StringscopeOptional. Match dependencies with the specified scope. Default is compile. Valid options: compile, test, runtime, providedcompile
BooleanoverrideTransitiveOptional. When enabled transitive dependencies with vulnerabilities will have their versions overridden. By default only direct dependencies have their version numbers upgraded.false
UpgradeDeltamaximumUpgradeDeltaOptional. The maximum difference to allow when suggesting a dependency version upgrade. Patch version upgrades are the default and safest option, as patch releases assert full backwards compatibility with no breaking changes.Minor version upgrades can introduce new features but do not typically include breaking changes. Major version upgrades will typically require code changes above and beyond this recipe. Valid options: patch, minor, majorpatch

Data Tables

Maven metadata failures

org.openrewrite.maven.table.MavenMetadataFailures

Attempts to resolve maven metadata that failed.

Column NameDescription
Group idThe groupId of the artifact for which the metadata download failed.
Artifact idThe artifactId of the artifact for which the metadata download failed.
VersionThe version of the artifact for which the metadata download failed.
Maven repositoryThe URL of the Maven repository that the metadata download failed on.
SnapshotsDoes the repository support snapshots.
ReleasesDoes the repository support releases.
FailureThe reason the metadata download failed.

Vulnerability report

org.openrewrite.java.dependencies.table.VulnerabilityReport

A vulnerability report that includes detailed information about the affected artifact and the corresponding CVEs.

Column NameDescription
ProjectThe name of the project / module taking the dependency. Relevant in repositories with multiple modules.
CVEThe CVE number.
GroupThe first part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION.
ArtifactThe second part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION.
VersionThe resolved version.
Fixed in versionThe minimum version that is no longer vulnerable.
Fixable with version update onlyWhether the vulnerability is likely to be fixed by increasing the dependency version only, with no code modifications required. This is a heuristic which assumes that the dependency is accurately versioned according to semver.
SummaryThe summary of the CVE.
Base scoreThe calculated base score.
DepthZero for direct dependencies.
CWEsCommon Weakness Enumeration (CWE) identifiers; semicolon separated.

Source files that had results

org.openrewrite.table.SourcesFileResults

Column NameDescription
Source path before the runThe source path of the file before the run. null when a source file was created during the run.
Source path after the runA recipe may modify the source path. This is the path after the run. null when a source file was deleted during the run.
Parent of the recipe that made changesIn a hierarchical recipe, the parent of the recipe that made a change. Empty if this is the root of a hierarchy or if the recipe is not hierarchical at all.
Recipe that made changesThe specific recipe that made a change.
Estimated time savingAn estimated effort that a developer to fix manually instead of using this recipe, in unit of seconds.
CycleThe recipe cycle in which the change was made.

Source files that errored on a recipe
