empty report on java Spring4 project

[pcouas]

Hi

I have launched cve-bin-tool 3.3 on an old JAVA Spring 4 project, there is no exécution error, but report is empty ?? Severity │ Count │ ├──────────┼───────┤ │ CRITICAL │ 0 │ │ HIGH │ 0 │ │ MEDIUM │ 0 │ │ LOW │ 0 │ │ UNKNOWN │ 0

I know there is Critical CVE on Spring4 project ? https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-core/4.3.30.RELEASE Direct vulnerabilities: CVE-2023-20863 CVE-2023-20861 CVE-2022-22971 CVE-2022-22970 CVE-2022-22968

Why you don't report CVE ? I have an mistake in my configuration ?

Regards

What exactly are you trying to scan? The source code? A packaged jar file?

We don't have a binary checker that detects spring4 (although someone could potentially add one if you want to make a feature request), but we do have code that reads a maven pom.xml file and should be able to scan based on that. Does whatever you're trying to scan have a pom.xml file and we're not scanning it correctly, or are you missing that file?

Can you provide the pom.xml you're scanning, or the part with spring4 in it?

Looking at the CVEs you linked, it looks like the vendor is vmware and the product name is spring_framework so if the pom.xml file calls it anything other than exactly spring_framework, it's probably a lookup error and we're not finding the right thing in the database. For example, if it's called "spring" or "spring4" in pom.xml then we won't find the right component.

We're working on some stuff with PURLs over the next few months that'll help us start building a database of mappings for cases like this one where the product name in the vuln database doesn't precisely match what's in pom.xml, so if that's what this is it won't be an easy fix but it will be fixed in a few months after our google summer of code contributors get started on their projects. If that's not the issue, it might be something else messed up in our lookup code? Not sure. It's definitely a bug.

In the meantime, I'm not sure what the best workaround for you would be. If you're just trying to scan this one project, maybe generate and SBOM and add the exact vendor/product name as a CPE so you can scan that and get results as expected?

So, it looks like the problem may be that we aren't able to parse the version numbers correctly because of the way the file is constructed

https://github.com/waichee/spring4-rest-client-example/blob/master/pom.xml

It's all stuff like this:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
      <version>${spring.version}</version>

The ${spring.version} is defined above in <properties>, but I'm pretty sure cve-bin-tool is just reading ${spring.version} and not knowing what to do next.

Two potential options

• if this is a common construction we're going to encounter in other projects, you'll want to fix cve_bin_tool/parsers/java.py to expand things like ${spring.version} (patches welcome!)
• if this is unique to this file and not commonly used elsewhere, you may need to run a script or something to expand things so that what's in <version> is the correct version before scanning

That said, I think even if the version is fixed we'll run into the problem I described earlier: the component is listed as org.springframework and the CPE ID associated with those CVES is vmware:spring_framework -- we'll likely need to add some kind of mapping so it knows to connect the two, since a bare text search of springframework isn't smart enough to find spring_framework. Unfortunately, we don't have the infrastructure for that type of mapping yet (though it's coming in a few months as part of GSoC!) so this likely won't be fixed for some time.

Yeah, as I said before, we don't have a lookup table that tells us that springframework is vmware, springframework in NVD right now. But it's coming! Our GSoC contributors are starting next week and one of them will be working on the framework needed to store and use this kind of mapping. So... the fix is on the way, but it's probably going to take at least another month or two.

The best workaround I can think of is still to put your components in an SBOM and add the CPE metadata yourself (SBOM supports that where pom.xml does not), but I can understand if that's not super appealing. But the fix is coming eventually! Just going to take a while.

[terriko]

Quick heads up: we've got the purl mappings implemented! I don't know if they'll work for spring specifically, but if you need to add a mapping for that it would be done with the purl2cpe project. https://github.com/scanoss/purl2cpe The purl code is going to be in the upcoming 3.4 release, but you can try it out in the development tree right now if you want.

I think that's probably as much as we can do for this particular component right now, so I'm going to close this, but feel free to re-open or file a new one if you spot ways we can handle java scans better. I won't be surprised if there's room for more improvement.

Hello How can i map cve-bin tools with this project ? do you have an sample ? I have just updated cvedatabase and launched How add this component and purl mappings implemented! ? Regards
