Velocity and Struts dependencies causing vulnerabilities

Hello,

We have an issue with version of the Velocity and Struts taglib, tiles and core jars that Maven maven-pmd-plugin and maven-checkstyle-plugin are using.
Velocity version 2.0 and Struts 1.3.8 have security vulnerabilities.

These 2 plugins need to be upgraded to use velocity-tools version 3.0 and Struts 2.3.x or 2.5.x.   Do you have a plan to do that ?  If not, would you please
let us know if there is a workaround to explicitly specify which versions of Velocity and Struts we would like pmd-plugiun and checkstyle-plugin to use?

Thank you!
Usha Kotamarti

usha could you repost this issue to user@struts.apache.org?

if struts-taglib has a security vulnerability Lukasz and the Struts Team should be able to fix it

Bon Chance

Hi,

We have a plan: instead of upgrading, we'll remove the dependencies, see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DOXIASITETOOLS-215

Doxia Sitetools 1.9.2 release is planned in a few days, then we'll need to
release every reporting plugin after.

Notice that these components are vulnerable, but they are used in Maven
plugins, not in a web application, then the vulnerability is not really
accessible: there is no real issue other than unused dependencies pulled by
reporting plugins.

Regards,

Hervé
