Announcing OSSIndex plugins for Apache Maven: Scan your dependencies for known vulnerabilities

You probably know Sonatype for our work in the Maven community, Nexus
Repository Manager, and for hosting Central. You may not know that for
the last 7 years we've also been leading the way in solutions that
allow developers to innovate faster and be able to improve security,
license compliance and architecture at the same time.

For years the primary domain for these concerns have been large
enterprises and/or governance teams. We're seeing a new trend along
with the #devsecops movement that brings concerns like the security
posture of a 3rd party component into the forefront of concerns for
developers. To further empower that trend, we've updated and
relaunched OSS Index with the mission to provide information and APIs
to the community -for free- to use in raising the security bar for
everyone.

Out of the box you can find a plugin to assess and optionally fail
your build if components contain known vulnerabilities. If you're a
fan of the Maven Enforcer Plugin, there's a rule for you too. I
encourage you to check it out and if you're so inclined, grab the REST
API and integrate it into your favorite tool.

Will fix thanks!

The techniques are different but an integration is pending to add the data to dependency check for even wider coverage.

This looks awesome! One nit pick tho - the XML plugin definition has a bad `</verify>` on the `<phase>` line.

Will be interesting to see how the results compare to the OWASP dependency checker.

Cheers

Excellent enhancement ; thank you Brian & Sonatype.

As requested I submitted my feedback as an RFE (
https://github.com/sonatype/ossindex-maven/issues/10) to report possible
fixes on the vulnerabilities.

Regards,
Matthieu
