We are using SonarQube Community Edition, Version 8.9.6 (build 50800).
SonarQube is reporting around 100 vulnerabilities on Java Spring boot projects after we upgraded to a newer Spring boot version(2.3.12.RELEASE).
Most of the vulnerabilities are coming from spring-cloud-commons v3.1.0 jar and most of them are related to vmware /vsphere, not sure why those are showing up as Critical/High vulnerabilities.
E.g
-
Filename: spring-cloud-commons-3.1.0.jar | Reference: CVE-2020-3992 | CVSS Score: 9.8 | OpenSLP as used in VMware ESXi (7.0 before ESXi_7.0.1-0.0.16850804, 6.7 before ESXi670-202010401-SG, 6.5 before ESXi650-202010401-SG) has a use-after-free issue. A malicious actor residing in the management network who has access to port 427 on an ESXi machine may be able to trigger a use-after-free in the OpenSLP service resulting in remote code execution.
-
Filename: spring-cloud-commons-3.1.0.jar | Reference: CVE-2021-21985 | CVSS Score: 9.8 | The vSphere Client (HTML5) contains a remote code execution vulnerability due to lack of input validation in the Virtual SAN Health Check plug-in which is enabled by default in vCenter Server. A malicious actor with network access to port 443 may exploit this issue to execute commands with unrestricted privileges on the underlying operating system that hosts vCenter Server
