@aikebah Is this already release? Currently, we get CVE-2016-7079 (and some more vmware-tool related) for spring-boot-jarmode-tools-3.3.4.jar.

Using dependency-check 10.0.4

@rpaasche Resolutions by the bot are immediately available as a suppression in the hosted suppressions file (assuming that you run your scans with internet connectivity it should become active as soon as the currently cached hostedSuppressions file expires - 2hrs after its latest retrieval in the default setup)

Check you scan report to see whether it properly identifies your jar as the maven package (pkg:maven/.....) listed above in the suppression. Suppressions we add in this project are typically based on the package-url of the library.

I see the problem now:

2024-09-26 21:06:01 |  [WARN] Hosted Suppressions file is empty or missing - attempting to force the update
2024-09-26 21:06:01 |  [WARN] Empty Hosted Suppression file after update, results may contain false positives already resolved by the DependencyCheck project due to failed download of the hosted suppression file

Will investigate this.

Thank you.
