             Summary: Please add OWASP Dependency Check to the build (pom.xml)
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1937
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1937
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: HttpClient (async)
    Affects Versions: 4.5.7, 5.0
         Environment: All development, build, test, environments.
            Reporter: Albert Baker


 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 reported known vulnerailities.  Project teams that keep up with removing vulnerabilities on a weekly basis will help protect businesses that rely on these open source componets.
