Trivy is reporting false vulnerability for com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind

[pranjali35]

IDs

CVE-2020-36518, CVE-2021-46877, CVE-2022-42003, CVE-2022-42004

Description

I am using the latest aquasec image to scan my pom file and Trivy is reporting following vulnerabilities.

It says installed version is : 2.12.0

But my dependecy tree says it is

$ mvn dependency:tree | grep "jackson-databind"
[INFO] | - com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:jar:2.13.5:compile

I checked everything and I am clueless at this point that why Trivy is reporting that I am using a vulnerable version of jackson-databind

Reproduction Steps

Target

Container Image

Scanner

Vulnerability

Target OS

No response

Debug Output

Step 1: Copy files
mkdir -p TrivyScan
cp pom.xml TrivyScan/
cp -r test-smoke/src/resources/* .
ls -lrt

Resources has html template file.

Step 2:

FROM aquasec/trivy:latest

# Copy scan files 
COPY /TrivyScan/ /TrivyScan/
COPY /template/ /Template/

#WORKDIR /TrivyScan

#Install Bash
RUN apk update && apk upgrade && apk add bash && apk --no-cache add curl

RUN chmod 775 -R /TrivyScan/

#VOLUME /TrivyScan

#RUN cd ${WORKDIR}
RUN echo $PWD
RUN ls -lrt
ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/bash", "-c", "trivy fs --severity HIGH  --format template --template @Template/html.tpl -o /TrivyScan/vulnerability_report.html --security-checks vuln /TrivyScan"]

RUN echo $PWD
RUN ls

Hi @pranjali35 !

You can provide your pom.xml so that I can investigate it?

Not sure if it's the same issue but I have this CVE being reported on cos_api-bundle-5.6.69 instead of jackson-databind

[DmitriyLewen]

cos_api-bundle-5.6.69.jar contains (uses) jackson-databind-2.12.1:

➜  5150 cat META-INF/maven/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-databind/pom.properties
version=2.12.1
groupId=com.fasterxml.jackson.core
artifactId=jackson-databind

thanks for your answer because the alert was not clear to me because of the indirection.
