Vulnerable dependency (ARCH4142)

Key java.security.vulnerable-component · Severity error · Category security · CWE CWE-1104

A dependency whose installed version falls inside a published vulnerable window carries a directly exploitable weakness into the application (OWASP A06: Vulnerable and Outdated Components).

The match is made by the AppArch Api, not by the runner: it cross-references the package list every ArchScan run already reports against the installation’s own advisory catalog. The product ships a curated baseline and an operator refreshes it by importing an OSV export, so the data can move without rebuilding a collector image, and nothing in a customer’s CI has to reach a CVE service.

Incorrect

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.yaml</groupId>
  <artifactId>snakeyaml</artifactId>
  <version>1.33</version>
</dependency>

Correct

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.yaml</groupId>
  <artifactId>snakeyaml</artifactId>
  <version>2.2</version>
</dependency>

Fix

Upgrade the package to the version the advisory names. When no fix exists, remove the dependency or pin a safe alternative. An operator refreshes the advisory catalog under Management → Security advisories.
