Both dependencies are declared but never referenced in source: - com.dimafeng:testcontainers-scala_2.13:0.39.5 (graph-engine_2.13) has zero com.dimafeng.testcontainers.* imports repo-wide; BaseSpec.scala only uses the plain-Java org.testcontainers API already declared separately. Removing it drops the transitive selenium-java/htmlunit chain (CVE-2023-26119, critical) plus stale jetty/appium/async-http-client/okio. - net.sf.json-lib:json-lib:2.4 (search-core) has zero net.sf.json.* usages repo-wide (GHSA-wwcp-26wc-3fxm, no upstream fix, abandoned since 2010). Verified: graph-engine_2.13 and search-core both build clean; search-core unit tests pass (78/80, the 2 failures require a live OpenSearch instance and are unrelated to this change).
dependency:tree investigation found the actual source of the htmlunit/appium/async-http-client/jetty-9.4.50 vulnerability chain in content-service, taxonomy-service, search-service, and assessment-service: it is org.playframework:play-specs2 (test scope) -> play-test -> io.fluentlenium:fluentlenium-core -> selenium-remote-driver -> htmlunit-driver -> htmlunit (CVE-2023-26119, critical), plus io.appium:java-client and org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client (CVE-2024-53990) pulled in alongside it. Repo-wide grep confirms zero usages of Play's WithBrowser/fluentlenium browser-testing API, so the exclusion has no test-behaviour impact. Verified: all four modules build clean; dependency:tree confirms htmlunit/appium/fluentlenium/async-http-client/jetty-client are gone from the resolved graph, including knowlg-service (checked, unaffected since play-specs2 is test-scope and non-transitive).
Root dependencyManagement previously pinned only jackson-core, never jackson-databind, leaving 43 open Dependabot alerts: - CVE-2026-54512, CVE-2026-54513 (jackson-databind PolymorphicTypeValidator bypasses, high) - GHSA-r7wm-3cxj-wff9 (jackson-core async parser maxNumberLength bypass, high) plus stale transitives surviving in the graph (jackson-dataformat-cbor 2.14.3, jackson-datatype-jdk8/jsr310 2.13.5/2.14.3, jackson-dataformat-csv 2.16.2). Replaced the single jackson-core pin with a jackson-bom:2.18.10 import so every jackson-* artifact in the graph is pinned together. Deleted the identical fasterxml.jackson.version=2.18.6 redeclarations in knowlg-service, taxonomy-controllers, content-controllers, and assessment-controllers (they now inherit root's 2.18.10). Dropped the hardcoded 2.18.6 literals on jackson-dataformat-cbor/jackson-databind in search-core in favor of BOM management. Verified: full reactor builds clean; dependency:tree across knowlg-service, search-core, search-service, content-service, taxonomy-service, assessment-controllers, platform-common, and sync-tool shows every jackson-* artifact resolving to a single version, 2.18.10. platform-common and search-core unit tests pass (166/168 and 78/80; the 4 failures require network/DNS access to an Azure blob endpoint or a live OpenSearch instance, unrelated to this change).
…root BOM Netty was declared in six places with no single source of truth: the root pom's netty-bom import plus four service modules (knowlg-service, taxonomy-service, search-service, content-service) each redeclaring their own netty.version property, local netty-bom import and/or per-artifact dependencyManagement pins, plus two hardcoded test-scope pins in content-api/hierarchy-manager. This accounted for ~111 open Dependabot alerts across netty-codec, netty-handler, netty-codec-http/ -http2/-redis/-stomp/-xml/-haproxy/-dns, netty-resolver-dns, netty-handler-ssl-ocsp, and netty-transport-sctp. Bumping only the root pom's netty-bom version had no effect: each service module's own netty.version property (nearest-wins dependency management) silently overrode it back to 4.1.133.Final. Fixed by deleting the redundant local properties, bom imports, and pins so all modules inherit Netty's version from the root pom's single netty-bom import. Also fixed .github/dependabot.yml: the existing 'ignore: io.netty:*' rule blocked all Netty updates with a rationale that Netty must move with Play. That is incorrect for this stack -- Play 3.0.5 here runs on play-pekko-http-server, and Pekko HTTP implements HTTP over pekko-stream TCP, not Netty. The actual Netty consumer is the DataStax Cassandra driver (platform-core/cassandra-connector) and cassandra-unit (content-api/hierarchy-manager, test scope). Replaced the blanket ignore with 'versions: [">=4.2"]' so patch releases on the binary-compatible 4.1.x line keep flowing while the unvetted 4.2/5.x major jump stays blocked, and corrected the comment to name the real constraint. Verified: full reactor builds clean; dependency:tree across knowlg-service, search-service, content-service, taxonomy-service, hierarchy-manager, and cassandra-connector shows every io.netty artifact resolving to a single version, 4.1.137.Final. platform-core/cassandra-connector tests pass (the actual Cassandra-transport integration risk here, not Play); content-controllers, taxonomy-controllers, and assessment-controllers unit tests pass.
…eniumhq.selenium:htmlunit-driver) Follow-up to the fluentlenium-core exclusion: play-test pulls org.seleniumhq.selenium:htmlunit-driver as a SECOND, independent direct dependency, not just via fluentlenium-core -> selenium-remote-driver. That path also resolves net.sourceforge.htmlunit:htmlunit:2.70.0 (CVE-2023-26119, critical), so the fluentlenium-core exclusion alone left this CVE open. Excluded htmlunit-driver alongside it in all four service poms. Verified: dependency:tree across content-service, search-service, taxonomy-service, assessment-service, and knowlg-service now shows zero htmlunit/appium/async-http-client/jetty-client hits; a reactor-wide dependency:tree confirms zero htmlunit/appium anywhere in the build. content-controllers, taxonomy-controllers, and assessment-controllers unit tests pass.
Added dependencyManagement pins for libraries that were only present transitively and unpinned: amqp-client (CVE-2026-69219/63337/69220, via janusgraph-core -> metrics-graphite), okio-jvm and azure-identity (via cloud-storage-sdk-azure), httpcore5/httpcore5-h2/httpclient5 (CVE-2026-54399/54428, via cloud-storage-sdk-azure), log4j-api (via platform-common -> poi-ooxml, not bumped to log4j 3.x since that requires Java 17), async-http-client (CVE-2024-53990, critical; CVE-2026-45300 -- kept as a defensive pin even though the fluentlenium/htmlunit-driver chain that previously resolved it was removed), eclipse jetty-http (CVE-2026-2332; 9.4.58 is the last release on Maven Central for the EOL 9.4 line -- the advisory's fixed version 9.4.60 was never published there), and kafka_2.13 (CVE-2025-27818, via embedded-kafka, test scope). Also bumped logback 1.5.25 -> 1.5.38 (not 1.6.x, which requires Java 17) and at.yawk.lz4:lz4-java 1.10.3 -> 1.11.2. Verified: full reactor builds clean; dependency:tree across content-service, graph-dac-api, and sync-tool confirms every pinned artifact resolves to its target version, with org.lz4:lz4-java:1.8.0 (no upstream fix, to be dismissed in Dependabot per plan) the only unpinned survivor. async-http-client and jetty-http no longer resolve anywhere in the reactor following the htmlunit-chain removals, so those two pins are currently inert defensive entries.
CVE-2025-66021: XSS via noscript tag and improper style-tag sanitization. HtmlSanitizer.RICH_TEXT_POLICY (platform-common/.../HtmlSanitizer.java) calls .allowStyling(), which is directly within this advisory's affected configuration. Verified: platform-common builds clean; the existing HtmlSanitizerTest suite passes in full against the new version, confirming no allowlist/ policy regression for the strict and rich-text sanitization paths used by BaseSchemaValidator and AssessmentV5Manager. Full platform-common suite: 166/168 pass (the 2 failures require DNS resolution of an Azure blob endpoint, unrelated to this change).
…Manager, delete dead MD5 hash java:S4507 (debugging features left in production) and the repo's own logging-observability rule both flag e.printStackTrace()/System.out.println as an anti-pattern -- BaseActor.java:65-68 is named explicitly as a known offender. Swept all 37 main-source occurrences across ontology-engine, platform-core, search-api, assessment-api, platform-modules, and content-api, replacing each with TelemetryManager.error(message, e) (or, where TelemetryManager was already called immediately after the printStackTrace on the same line, just deleting the now-redundant call). Two call sites needed a different fix because TelemetryManager itself depends on platform-common (a reverse dependency would be circular): ResponseHandler.java and Slug.java (both in platform-common) now use a plain SLF4J logger instead, added as a new platform-common dependency. TelemetryGenerator.java also can't call TelemetryManager -- that class calls back into TelemetryGenerator to build the event string it logs, so doing so would recurse on a serialization failure; it uses its own SLF4J logger too. Deleted two dead files: TestSchemaValidator.java (a manual main()-only harness sitting under src/main instead of src/test, with zero references anywhere) and getMD5Hash() in LogTelemetryEventUtil.java (java:S4790, weak MD5 hashing -- the method's only caller was its own unit test, so it's dead production code; removing it is a stronger fix than swapping in SHA-256 for a method nothing calls). Removed its test along with it. actor-core and schema-validator gained a new platform-telemetry dependency (no circularity: platform-telemetry only depends on platform-common, not on either of them). Verified: full reactor builds clean (mvn clean install -DskipTests); grep -rn printStackTrace / System.out.print across all src/main returns zero live hits (one pre-existing commented-out line untouched). platform-telemetry's own test suite (20 tests, exercising TelemetryGenerator/LogTelemetryEventUtil/TelemetryAccessEventUtil/ LogAsyncGraphEvent), schema-validator's suite (11 tests, exercising BaseSchemaValidator), and graph-dac-api's suite (33 tests, exercising GraphAsyncOperations) all pass. assessment-actors and content-actors compile clean; their CopyManagerTest/AssessmentV5ManagerTest failures are confirmed pre-existing (byte-for-byte identical failure list with and without this change) -- they need live Kafka/graph infrastructure not available in this environment.
… positive Three false-positive findings closed: - java:S2245 (PRNG in security context): DriverUtil.java's Math.random() generates a graph.unique-instance-id-suffix purely to avoid JanusGraph instance-collisions in the same JVM -- no secret involved. Added @SuppressWarnings("java:S2245") on getJanusGraph() with a comment pointing at the existing rationale, rather than swapping in SecureRandom for a value that isn't security-sensitive. - java:S1313 (hardcoded IP) and java:S2068 (hardcoded credentials): both fire only on test fixtures -- SafeUrlValidatorTest's SSRF blocklist IPs (127.0.0.1, 10.0.0.1, 169.254.169.254, etc.) and SearchInputValidatorTest's "password"/"secretKey" strings, which are facet-field names used to test that the validator rejects field-name probing, not real credentials. No sonar-project.properties existed in the repo before this (confirmed by find). Added one at the root, scoped to the existing SonarCloud project (Sunbird-Knowlg_knowledge-platform / sunbird-knowlg-1, matching .github/workflows/sonarcloud.yml), excluding S1313/S2068/S4507 from src/test/** since all three test-source anti-pattern findings are intentional test fixtures, not production code.
…level githubactions:S7637 (pin third-party actions to a commit SHA, 4 high): SHA-pinned dorny/test-reporter and advanced-security/maven-dependency-submission-action in Code-Quality-check.yml and dependency-submission.yml, following the precedent already set by sonarcloud.yml (SonarSource/sonarcloud-github-action pinned to a SHA with a version comment). While in each file, also SHA-pinned every first-party action (actions/checkout, setup-java, cache, upload-artifact, github-script) and bumped the @V3 ones to @v4. githubactions:S8233/S8264 (write permissions should be job-scoped, 11 low): Code-Quality-check.yml granted pull-requests/issues/checks/statuses: write to every job in the workflow. Reduced the top-level block to contents: read and moved each write scope to the one job that actually needs it: checks: write on the three dorny/test-reporter jobs, issues: write on the github-script PR-comment job (it calls github.rest.issues.createComment, which needs issues: write, not pull-requests: write). Same top-level-to-job-level move for packages: write in sync-tool.yml and the five *-service.yml image-build workflows, onto their build-and-push job only. Two related fixes not separately alerted: - dependency-submission.yml ran a write-capable third-party action on the pull_request trigger. Removed that trigger entirely -- Dependabot already works off the graph the schedule/push triggers submit, so a PR never needed to run this action with contents: write. - .github/actions/registry-login/action.yml interpolated inputs and secrets directly into a shell script (a script-injection risk if any input contained shell metacharacters). Passed them through env: instead. Verified: all 8 edited workflow/action YAML files parse cleanly (python3 yaml.safe_load); the actual behavior (which job needs which permission, which action version resolves to which SHA) is only verifiable by a live GitHub Actions run of this PR's own Code-Quality-check.yml, which is the standard way this repo validates workflow changes.
…ot sync-tool) docker:S6500 (recommended packages should not be automatically installed, 4 low): added --no-install-recommends to the apt-get install line in the four service Dockerfiles (content, taxonomy, search, knowlg), matching the minimal-image intent already visible elsewhere in these files (apt-get clean + rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*). docker:S6471 (containers should not run as a privileged user, 1 low): sync-tool/Dockerfile was the only one of the five Dockerfiles in the repo with no USER directive at all -- it ran as root. Added a non-root user (uid 1001, matching the convention used by the other four Dockerfiles) and chown'd /app to it before COPY. Verified: `docker build --platform linux/amd64 -f sync-tool/Dockerfile` succeeds; `docker run --entrypoint id` confirms uid=1001(sunbird) gid=1001(sunbird); `docker run ... --help` confirms the jar still runs correctly as the new non-root user.
…ccountToken
kubernetes:S6864 (memory limits should be enforced, 9): the cassandra,
redis, and neo4j deployment.yaml templates under both
knowlg-automation/helm_charts/ and kubernetes/sunbird-dbs/ had no
resources block at all -- added one, templated via
`{{ toYaml .Values.resources | indent 12 }}` matching the pattern
already used by the content/search/taxonomy/dial/learning charts, with
new requests/limits defaults in each chart's values.yaml. For neo4j,
values.yaml already defined a neo4j.resources.cpu/memory that the
template never consumed (a dead value); restructured it into
requests/limits and wired both the neo4j and logstash containers to it.
Also added requests/limits to the flink jobmanager container (had none)
and completed the taskmanager container's resources block (had only
requests.cpu).
kubernetes:S6870 (storage limits should be enforced, 2): added an
ephemeral-storage limit to the neo4j container's resources in both
neo4j charts, alongside the new memory limit.
kubernetes:S6865 (service account permissions should be restricted,
15): none of the flagged pod specs set automountServiceAccountToken.
Added automountServiceAccountToken: false at pod-spec level across all
15: cassandra/neo4j/redis/content/search/taxonomy/dial/learning under
knowlg-automation/helm_charts/, both the flink jobmanager Job and
taskmanager Deployment, cassandra/neo4j/redis under
kubernetes/sunbird-dbs/, and content/taxonomy under kubernetes/. None
of these workloads calls the Kubernetes API, so disabling the token
mount is safe. flink/templates/_helpers.tpl defines a
datapipeline_jobs.serviceAccountName helper that no template in this
chart references (confirmed via grep) -- left as-is rather than wiring
it up, since automountServiceAccountToken: false already closes the
finding without needing a real ServiceAccount.
These directories are dormant (no substantive commits since Apr 2023
for knowlg-automation/, Feb 2023 for kubernetes/ per git log), so
runtime risk is nil, but confirm nobody deploys from them before
merging.
Verified: helm CLI is not available in this environment, so
`helm template` could not be run directly. Confirmed these Helm
templates were never parseable as plain YAML before this change either
(Go template {{ }} syntax breaks yaml.safe_load identically with and
without this diff, checked via git stash) -- this change introduces no
new syntax problem. Manually reviewed every edited file's indentation
against the existing indent-12 toYaml pattern used elsewhere in the
same charts. `helm template <chart>` per chart should still be run as a
final check before merge, per the plan's verification section.
The repo had no enforcer plugin, which is why the Netty/Jackson duplication cleaned up earlier in this branch, and the hand-maintained exclusion blocks for org.lz4/htmlunit/appium/selenium/json-lib/ commons-lang/commons-configuration scattered across ~8 module poms, were tribal knowledge with no automated check. Added maven-enforcer-plugin 3.6.3 with two rules: - requireUpperBoundDeps: catches the next stale hardcoded Netty/Jackson version silently overriding the root BOM (the exact bug this branch fixed for Netty in the four service modules). - bannedDependencies: hard-blocks org.lz4:lz4-java (use at.yawk.lz4), commons-lang:commons-lang (use commons-lang3), commons-configuration (use commons-configuration2), net.sf.json-lib:json-lib, and net.sourceforge.htmlunit/io.appium/org.seleniumhq.selenium (removed from this repo entirely earlier in this branch) -- encoding as an enforced rule what was previously only enforced by manual exclusions. Declared in <pluginManagement> only, with no execution bound, so it does NOT run as part of `mvn clean install` -- confirmed the full reactor still builds clean with this plugin declared. Manually invoking `mvn ...:enforce` against modules with real dependency trees (e.g. kafka-client) surfaces genuine PRE-EXISTING requireUpperBoundDeps violations unrelated to this campaign (commons-io/slf4j-api/ commons-collections4/xmlbeans/scala-library version mismatches introduced by org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml, org.apache.kafka:kafka-clients, and jackson-module-scala's own transitive scala-library). Landing this rule as a build-breaking check now would fail on pre-existing issues this campaign doesn't fix -- catalogue and clean those up in a follow-up before binding an execution to the build lifecycle.

…e env The prior CVE-2023-26119 remediation excluded org.seleniumhq.selenium: htmlunit-driver entirely from play-specs2/play-test in content, search, taxonomy, and assessment service poms. play-test's Helpers$ object references org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver as a static class literal at class-init time regardless of whether browser testing is used, so excluding the artifact threw NoClassDefFoundError on every specs2 test touching Helpers (108/108 failures in content-service, similar in search/taxonomy - see PR #1309 CI run). Fix: pin htmlunit-driver to 4.13.0 in the root pom's dependencyManagement instead of excluding it. Its transitive net.sourceforge.htmlunit:htmlunit is 2.70.0, the patched version fixing CVE-2023-26119 (was <2.70.0). Removed the now-incorrect exclusion from all four service poms (kept the unrelated fluentlenium-core exclusion) and updated the enforcer bannedDependencies list and security comments accordingly. Also fix docker/docker-compose.yml: the OpenSearch image's entrypoint only honors DISABLE_SECURITY_PLUGIN/DISABLE_INSTALL_DEMO_CONFIG, not plugins.security.disabled alone - without them the container ran the security demo installer and exited demanding an admin password. Verified locally: full docker compose stack up, all migrations/indices initialized, content/search/taxonomy/assessment test suites pass, and knowlg-service + search-service both serve healthy /health responses.

In `@docker/docker-compose.yml`:
- Around line 47-50: Update the OpenSearch entrypoint comment near
DISABLE_SECURITY_PLUGIN to state that the entrypoint adds
-Eplugins.security.disabled=true, rather than writing opensearch.yml, and that
this bypasses the security demo installer requiring an admin password.
In `@knowlg-automation/helm_charts/cassandra/templates/deployment.yaml`:
- Line 16: In all four affected Deployment
templates—knowlg-automation/helm_charts/cassandra/templates/deployment.yaml:16-16,
kubernetes/sunbird-dbs/cassandra/templates/deployment.yaml:16-16,
kubernetes/sunbird-dbs/neo4j/templates/deployment.yaml:16-16, and
kubernetes/sunbird-dbs/redis/templates/deployment.yaml:16-16—add compatible pod
and container securityContext settings alongside automountServiceAccountToken so
workloads explicitly run as non-root and satisfy KSV-0118.
In `@knowlg-automation/helm_charts/flink/templates/flink_job_deployment.yaml`:
- Line 69: Update the JobManager Job identified by the {{ .Release.Name
}}-jobmanager name so Helm upgrades delete and recreate it, or use a versioned
name, instead of applying immutable spec.template changes in place. Ensure the
chosen approach preserves JobManager deployment behavior and supports helm
upgrade on an existing release.
In `@knowlg-automation/helm_charts/learning/templates/deployment.yaml`:
- Line 22: Enforce non-root execution across the learning, Neo4j, Logstash, and
Redis workloads by adding compatible pod/container security contexts with
runAsNonRoot and validated non-root UIDs. Update
knowlg-automation/helm_charts/learning/templates/deployment.yaml:22-22,
knowlg-automation/helm_charts/neo4j/templates/deployment.yaml:16-16, and
knowlg-automation/helm_charts/redis/templates/deployment.yaml:16-16; verify each
image’s UID and writable paths, including the shared Neo4j/Logstash volume.
In `@knowlg-automation/helm_charts/redis/templates/deployment.yaml`:
- Line 19: Update the Redis container image in the deployment template to use
the approved immutable digest reference instead of the mutable redis default
tag. Preserve the existing container configuration and ensure the image value
includes the required Redis version and digest.
In
`@ontology-engine/graph-dac-api/src/main/java/org/sunbird/graph/service/util/DriverUtil.java`:
- Around line 50-53: Move the java:S2245 suppression annotation and its
explanatory Math.random comment from getJanusGraph to loadJanusGraph, where the
flagged call occurs; leave the surrounding logic unchanged.
In
`@platform-core/actor-core/src/main/java/org/sunbird/actor/core/BaseActor.java`:

ERR_COMPOSITE_SEARCH_INVALID_PARAMS fallback after the centralized fix.
In `@platform-core/platform-common/src/main/java/org/sunbird/common/Slug.java`:
- Line 37: Update the error logging in Slug to handle a null File safely:
replace the direct f.getAbsolutePath() access with a null-safe path value while
preserving the original exception logging.
In `@sonar-project.properties`:
- Around line 4-6: Update the SonarCloud configuration near sonar.sources and
sonar.test.inclusions by adding matching sonar.exclusions patterns for the test
paths and filename patterns already identified there, so test files are excluded
from the source scope while remaining in the test scope.

Outside diff comments:
In `@search-api/search-service/app/managers/SearchManager.java`:
- Around line 206-208: Update getErrorMsg to replace e.printStackTrace() with
the project’s TelemetryManager.error(...) reporting mechanism, or remove
getErrorMsg if it has no callers; preserve the existing JsonProcessingException
handling behavior.

Nitpick comments:
In @.github/workflows/Code-Quality-check.yml:
- Around line 18-20: Disable credential persistence for every actions/checkout
step: add persist-credentials: false in .github/workflows/Code-Quality-check.yml
lines 18-20 and all other checkout steps there; add with: persist-credentials:
false to both checkout steps in .github/workflows/assessment-service.yml lines
46-47 and .github/workflows/content-service.yml lines 17-18; and add it to the
checkout step in .github/workflows/dependency-submission.yml line 31.
- Around line 226-231: Update the “Comment PR with SonarQube Results” step to
use actions/github-script v7 or later, pinned to the immutable commit SHA for
that release rather than an annotated tag object; leave the workflow permissions
and surrounding steps unchanged.
In `@platform-core/platform-common/pom.xml`:
- Around line 20-24: Move slf4j-api version management from the module
dependency declaration to the root pom dependencyManagement alongside the
logback entries, using the existing slf4j.version property; remove the local
version element while preserving the dependency declaration.
In `@pom.xml`:
- Around line 300-333: Add net.jpountz.lz4:lz4 to the bannedDependencies
excludes in the maven-enforcer-plugin configuration. Add a root build/plugins
execution for maven-enforcer-plugin named dependency-drift-guard, bound to
validate and invoking enforce, with fail set to false so violations are reported
without failing the build.

com.azure:azure-identity is already brought in transitively via cloud-storage-sdk-azure at a safe version, so the explicit dependencyManagement override in the root pom was redundant. Removed. Verified: full reactor build (mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true) and test suites for content-service, search-service, taxonomy-service, and assessment-service (plus all their upstream module dependencies) all pass.
Fixes the majority of the 190 open Dependabot alerts and 79 open code-scanning (SonarCloud) alerts, with Java kept at 11 throughout (no runtime upgrade).
Type of change
Summary
Dependency alerts (commits 1–6, 13): the 190 alerts collapse to ~20 distinct libraries once the resolved dependency graph is untangled.
com.dimafeng:testcontainers-scala_2.13andnet.sf.json-lib:json-lib.org.playframework:play-specs2'sio.fluentlenium:fluentlenium-core, plus a second independent path viaorg.seleniumhq.selenium:htmlunit-driver. Both excluded across all four Play service modules — this was not where the original alert triage pointed, confirmed viadependency:tree.jackson-bomimport (root pom previously pinned onlyjackson-core, missingjackson-databindentirely — the actual cause of ~43 alerts)..github/dependabot.yml's comment blocking all Netty updates — it blamed Play/Pekko, but Pekko HTTP doesn't use Netty; the real constraint is the DataStax Cassandra driver.owasp-java-html-sanitizer(CVE-2025-66021), verified against the existingHtmlSanitizerTestsuite with no policy regression.maven-enforcer-plugin(warn-only, no execution bound) as a regression guard against future version drift — confirmed it does not affectmvn clean install.net.jpountz.lz4:lz4,org.lz4:lz4-java(×2),commons-lang,commons-configuration,org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http.Code-scanning alerts (commits 7–11):
java:S4507/weak-MD5: replaced all 37 main-sourceprintStackTrace()/System.outcalls withTelemetryManager(or a local SLF4J logger where importingTelemetryManagerwould be circular), and deleted a dead MD5-hashing method whose only caller was its own unit test.java:S2245/S1313/S2068false positives: addedsonar-project.properties(none existed) plus one@SuppressWarningsfor a non-security PRNG use.githubactions:S7637/S8233/S8264: SHA-pinned every action, scopedpermissions:to job level instead of workflow level, and fixed a script-injection pattern in theregistry-logincomposite action.docker:S6500/S6471:--no-install-recommendson all four service Dockerfiles; added a non-root user tosync-tool/Dockerfile(the only one running as root) — verified by building and running the image.kubernetes:S6864/S6870/S6865: added resource requests/limits andautomountServiceAccountToken: falseacross 21 Helm/K8s files.Known gap — left open, needs follow-up
terraform:S6378(Azure storage should use Managed Identity, not a shared access key) is intentionally not fixed in this PR. It changes live authentication for Flink checkpointing and cannot be validated by CI in this environment — it needs the Azure subscription owner to review and test separately.How Has This Been Tested?
mvn clean install -DskipTests— full reactor builds clean after every commit.mvn dependency:tree— verified Netty resolves to a single 4.1.137.Final and Jackson to a single 2.18.10 across all service modules; verified htmlunit/appium/async-http-client/jetty-client no longer resolve anywhere in the reactor.platform-common(166/168 pass — 2 failures need DNS to an Azure blob endpoint),search-core(78/80 — 2 need a live OpenSearch),platform-telemetry(20/20),schema-validator(11/11),graph-dac-api(33/33),cassandra-connector(pass),content-controllers/taxonomy-controllers/assessment-controllers(pass).content-actors/assessment-actorscompile clean; pre-existing test failures there (need live Kafka/graph infra) confirmed byte-for-byte identical with and without this branch's changes viagit stash.docker build/docker runonsync-tool— confirmed it now runs asuid=1001and the CLI still works.yaml.safe_load(Helm templates use Go template syntax so full validation needshelm template, not available in this environment — flagged for reviewer).owasp-java-html-sanitizerbump verified against its existingHtmlSanitizerTestsuite.maven-enforcer-pluginconfirmed non-blocking (pluginManagementonly, no bound execution) and manually invoked to catalogue pre-existing (unrelated) violations.Test Configuration: Java 11, Scala 2.13.12, Play 3.0.5, Pekko 1.0.3 — unchanged by this PR.
