In order to improve the security of the ONAP code base, projects are to focus on upgrading the third party packages that are direct dependencies. This change has been implemented in the Frankfurt release. Previous releases required vulnerability analysis in addition to package upgrades. Beginning with the Frankfurt release, the remediation of known vulnerabilities in third party packages will be tracked as follows.

  • Projects update direct dependencies in their applications to most recent version of packages that are available at M2.
    • Projects identify the direct dependencies (packages) in each project component.
      • NexusIQ provides a list of all packages used in a component.
      • Maven creates dependency tree that identifies direct dependencies as the "left-most packages".
    • By M2 SECCOM will  update oparent.pom to include the most recent version of included packages that are available at M2.
    • By M2 each project must open Jiras tickets to update older package versions in direct dependencies.
      • There must be a separate Jira for each package to be upgraded.
      • Required information in Jira ticket:
        • Old and new version numbers
        • Label of "ComponentUpgrade"
        • Fix Version is release under development
    • Exceptions: The project must request a TSC exception for each direct dependency that cannot be upgraded by M4.
      • Jira ticket for the upgrade must contain:
        • The reason that the package cannot be upgraded,
        • Fix Version is the next release to be developed
    • Tools to help choose the upgrade version
  • At M4 all projects will list all CVEs (CVE number only) associated with third party packages in the readthedocs in the Third Party Vulnerabilities section.
    • Vulnerabilities are listed in the NexusIQ reports for each project repository scanned
  • All known CVEs for each component will be listed in readthedocs for the release with no analysis.
  • Note
    • There is no requirement to provide effective/ineffective analysis until there are tools to support the analysis.
    • There is no requirement to create vulnerability review tables.
    • There is no requirement to upgrade transitive dependent packages.


The CLAMP team will investigate writing a script to automatically generate project-level Jira tickets for all direct dependencies.
