What happened:

Trying to use syft to generate a SBOM from a Maven pom.xml still does not correctly detect some dependency versions despite recent improvements from #2769

In particular this seems to be triggered when a dependency is declared with a version in <dependencyManagement> (often in a parent pom.xml) and then declared without a version in a child modules pom.xml where that dependency is actually being consumed

For example using the repository https://github.com/telicent-oss/smart-caches-core

$ syft file:jaxrs-base-server/pom.xml

What you expected to happen:

All the dependencies should have their versions correctly detected since they are all declared in the <dependencyManagement> section of the top level pom.xml in that repository.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

$ git clone https://github.com/telicent-oss/smart-caches-core.git
$ syft file:jaxrs-base-server/pom.xml

Environment:

  • Output of syft version:

    Application: syft
    Version: 1.11.1
    BuildDate: 2024-08-20T15:45:33Z
    GitCommit: Homebrew
    GitDescription: [not provided]
    Platform: darwin/arm64
    GoVersion: go1.23.0
    Compiler: gc

  • OS (e.g: cat /etc/os-release or similar): macOS Ventura

It looks like the problem is that the command only allows syft access to the jaxrs-base-server/pom.xml file, however, the pinned versions are in the parent pom in the root of the repo. So scanning the root of the repo you'll see the versions are filled in:

$ git clone [email protected]:telicent-oss/smart-caches-core.git
$ syft ./smart-caches-core

If you're interested in just the jaxrs-base-server, then this is probably too many packages...

find ./smart-caches-core/**/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/cli/cli-core/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/cli/cli-debug/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/cli/cli-probe-server/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/cli/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/configurator/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/event-sources/event-source-file/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/event-sources/event-source-kafka/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/event-sources/event-sources-core/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/event-sources/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/jaxrs-base-server/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/jwt-auth-common/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/live-reporter/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/observability-core/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/projector-driver/pom.xml
./smart-caches-core/projectors-core/pom.xml

There are two ways to deal with this:

  • prune the dirs to only have the poms of interest
  • use --exclude flag

Using the exclude flag:

syft . --exclude ./projector-driver --exclude ./event-sources --exclude ./cli --exclude ./live-reporter --exclude ./projectors-core --exclude ./jwt-auth-common --exclude ./.github --exlcude ./configurator --exclude ./observability-core

This is not ideal, since it's brittle as your repo changes over time... but it does work.

There is probably a way to do this with a small bash script / find command:

$ find ./**/pom.xml -not -path './jaxrs-base-server/**' -not -path ./pom.xml | xargs -I {} dirname {}

./cli/cli-core
./cli/cli-debug
./cli/cli-probe-server
./cli
./configurator
./event-sources/event-source-file
./event-sources/event-source-kafka
./event-sources/event-sources-core
./event-sources
./jwt-auth-common
./live-reporter
./observability-core
./projector-driver
./projectors-core

The this list could be placed into a syfr config for continual reference:

# exclude.yaml
exclude:
- ./cli/cli-core
- ./cli/cli-debug
- ./cli/cli-probe-server
- ./cli
- ./configurator

I was writing this response concurrently to @wagoodman's, so apologies if there's duplicate info. As noted, cloning that repo, and running syft on the entire directory (git clone https://github.com/telicent-oss/smart-caches-core, syft smart-caches-core), with no other options, results in the Java libraries have appropriate versions; this is because the parent context is available to Syft. However, scanning one submodule pom file, as you indicated in the issue (syft file:jaxrs-base-server/pom.xml from the smart-caches-core directory), results in a number of missing properties because the context for the parent pom is missing.

One solution is to provide the necessary Maven context to Syft by running a mvn install of the parent, and allowing Syft to use the local .m2 cache with the environment variable SYFT_JAVA_USE_MAVEN_LOCAL_REPOSITORY=true. Example:

$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/smart-caches-core:/src maven:latest /bin/sh

# cd /src

# mvn install -Dgpg.skip=true -Dmaven.test.skip=true

# ls /root/.m2/repository/io/telicent/smart-caches/parent/0.22.1-SNAPSHOT
maven-metadata-local.xml  parent-0.22.1-SNAPSHOT-cyclonedx.json  parent-0.22.1-SNAPSHOT-cyclonedx.xml  parent-0.22.1-SNAPSHOT.pom  _remote.repositories

# <install syft>

# SYFT_JAVA_USE_MAVEN_LOCAL_REPOSITORY=true  syft file:jaxrs-base-server/pom.xml

Hi @rvesse - are you still facing this issue, or did the steps from @kzantow (previous comment to this one) help?

Sorry no I haven't looked at this again, this got pushed down my queue by other stuff

As it turned out we didn't need to use syft at all for our use case as we're already generating CycloneDX BOMs directly from Maven and could just pass those into grype directly

@willmurphyscode willmurphyscode closed this as not planned Won't fix, can't repro, duplicate, stale Oct 15, 2024
