  • I searched in the issues and found nothing similar.

Motivation

Since #10855 we are doing dependency scans for vulnerabilities on regular basis. That is really great!

Over time, more and more vulnerabilities are suppressed.
This may

  • not be necessary anymore if it's about suppressing false positive (since number of false positive are reduced with every new version of check tool)
  • may hide some open vulnerabilities even if there is a solution available now

org.apache.pulsar:pulsar-server-distribution:2.11.0-SNAPSHOT:
Vulnerabilities Suppressed: 23

org.apache.pulsar:pulsar-offloader-distribution:2.11.0-SNAPSHOT:
Vulnerabilities Suppressed: 4

Solution

before every release:
check for each suppressed vulnerability if it's still reasonable/necessary to suppress it
otherwise we are possibly releasing with security flaws which could easily being solved

before: update check tool to latest version (which typical solves some false positive)
7.11+, the check today uses see 7.10 https://github.com/jeremylong/DependencyCheck/releases
