and running this simple command: (please feel free to run)
mvn clean install dependency:tree -X
After feeding this to some static analysis (Black Duck, SonarQube, Dependency-check, etc...)
I am being flagged with this CVE:
CVE-2017-1000487 on two jars : plexus-utils-2.0.4.jar plexus-utils-3.0.10.jar
I am having a hard time understanding, since the output so far is:
INFO] --- maven-clean-plugin:3.1.0:clean (default-clean) @ cvequestion ---
[DEBUG] Dependency collection stats: {ConflictMarker.analyzeTime=53001, ConflictMarker.markTime=16625, ConflictMarker.nodeCount=14, ConflictIdSorter.graphTime=30625, ConflictIdSorter.topsortTime=11493, ConflictIdSorter.conflictIdCount=12, ConflictIdSorter.conflictIdCycleCount=0, ConflictResolver.totalTime=215510, ConflictResolver.conflictItemCount=14, DefaultDependencyCollector.collectTime=75144505, DefaultDependencyCollector.transformTime=399107}
[DEBUG] org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:jar:3.1.0
[DEBUG] org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api:jar:3.0:compile
[DEBUG] org.apache.maven:maven-model:jar:3.0:compile
[DEBUG] org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-utils:jar:2.0.4:compile
And I do not see plexus-utils-3.0.10.jar in the dependency tree at all.
Question 1: Where is this plexus-utils-3.0.10.jar coming from? I do not have this dependency, and no one from the tree is pulling this dependency.
Question 2: May I ask how do I fix this CVE please? I am interesting in the process and steps of fixing this.
Thank you
Credits to khmarbaise, upgrading to the latest Maven clean plugin 3.2.0 does fix this issue.
