Issue

Environment

  • Liferay Workspace (gradle v10.1.3)

Resolution

  • Jackson Dataformat YAML Dependency:

    • The Liferay Workspace uses jackson-dataformat-yaml for parsing YAML files. While this library has a vulnerable version of snakeyaml (1.27), it is upgraded at runtime to version 2.2, which is secure.
    • To ensure consistency, the product team is updating the dependency to jackson-dataformat-yaml 2.16.1, which includes snakeyaml 2.2. This update is currently in progress (ticket LPD-31541).

    biz.aQute.bndlib Dependency:

    • The biz.aQute.bndlib library is a third-party library, and we do not control its versions or dependencies.
    • As the vulnerable version of snakeyaml included in biz.aQute.bndlib is not utilized within the Liferay Workspace, therefore, there are no plans to fix or update this library at this time.
    • If you'd like, you may continue to exclude this library as you have done using the exclude parameter in your settings.gradle.
