             Summary: Please add OWASP Dependency Check to the build (pom.xml)
                 Key: SANTUARIO-492
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANTUARIO-492
             Project: Santuario
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Java
    Affects Versions: Java 1.5.9, Java 2.0.11, Java 2.1.3
         Environment: All development, build, test, environments.
            Reporter: Albert Baker
            Assignee: Colm O hEigeartaigh


 Please add OWASP Dependency Check to the build (pom.xml).  OWASP DC makes an outbound REST call to MITRE Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures (CVE) to perform a lookup for each dependant .jar to list any/all known vulnerabilities for each jar.  This step is needed because a manual MITRE CVE lookup/check on the main component does not include checking for vulnerabilities in components or in dependant libraries.

OWASP Dependency check : https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Dependency_Check has plug-ins for most Java build/make types (ant, maven, ivy, gradle).   

Also, add the appropriate command to the nightly build to generate a report of all known vulnerabilities in any/all third party libraries/dependencies that get pulled in. example : mvn -Powasp -Dtest=false -DfailIfNoTests=false clean aggregate

Generating this report nightly/weekly will help inform the project's development team if any dependant libraries have a newly discovered & reported (known) vulnerailities.  Project teams that keep up with removing known vulnerabilities on a weekly basis will help protect businesses that rely on these open source componets.
