Apart from what explained above (being able to report in the IDE taint vulnerabilities not detectable by SonarLint itself), the main value we want to bring with the connected mode is to help teams, organizations and developers to share the same code quality and security standards across all the contributors to a software project. This means that you can activate or deactivate specific rules in SonarQube, or to exclude specific files from your project analysis, and your configuration will be propagated to all developers IDEs thanks to SonarLint. And if a colleague marks an issue as False Positive in SonarQube, your SonarLint will also stop reporting it. You can read a little more about connected mode here and here

As a rule, software developers mainly work from their favorite IDE, and the IDE they prefer is usually one that integrates well with their existing workflow. At Snyk, we also believe tooling should integrate seamlessly with your existing software development process in order to be most efficient.

For this reason, we have released a Snyk plugin that you can install directly from within Eclipse. Once installed, when you run the security scanning tool, Snyk analyzes the direct and indirect dependencies in your projects, identifies security vulnerabilities and license issues, and reports them back to you with essential details so that you can remediate them more quickly and smoothly.

Installing the Snyk Vulnerability Scanner for Eclipse is easy. Search for Snyk from the Eclipse Marketplace, click install, follow the instructions and you are good to go.

Once configured, click the play button in theSnyk view to scan your entire workspace and receive results for all of the projects currently open. Alternatively, right-click a single project from the project root folder and click Snyk test.

For every project scanned, vulnerabilities that are found are displayed in the Snyk View tab. Results are grouped per project, under which every vulnerability occurrence is listed separately, displaying the direct dependency in your project that is affected by the vulnerability.

Finally, displayed from the Fix column is a suggested upgrade if one is available. Snyk always recommends the minimum upgrade possible for the direct dependency to eliminate the vulnerability with the least amount of risk.

Due to technical limitations, SonarLint can not raise taint issues on local analysis and instead pulls taint issues from SonarQube or SonarCloud following a project analysis. Because SonarLint must pull taint vulnerability issues from SonarQube or SonarCloud, the use of Connected Mode is required.

Taint vulnerabilities are security-related rule issues that are only raised by SonarQube (starting with Developer Edition) and SonarCloud. Due to technical limitations, SonarLint can not raise such issues on local analysis.

Because the detection of taint issues requires that you are run in Connected Mode, any changes you make to the code must be resolved by your SonarQube or SonarCloud instance. Here are two options to resolve taint issues displayed by SonarLint:

*The CVSS Environment Score is customer environment specific and will ultimately impact the Overall CVSS Score. Customers can evaluate the impact of this vulnerability in their environments by accessing the links in the Reference section of this Security Bulletin.

According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.

Qualys scans are identifying Eclipse Jetty Vulnerabilities. It shows we are running 9.1.3v20140225 with Powerchute Network Shutdown version 4.2. The most recent version on eclipse.org is 9.4.20.v20190813. Will this work with PCNS 4.2?

CVE-2019-10241: the server is vulnerable to XSS conditions if a remote client USES a specially formatted URL against the DefaultServlet or ResourceHandler that is configured for showing a Listing of directory contents.

The server running on any OS and Jetty version combination will reveal the configured fully qualified directory base resource location on the output of the 404 error for not finding a Context that matches the requested path. The default server behavior on jetty-distribution and jetty-home will include at the end of the Handler tree a Default Handler, which is responsible for reporting this 404 error, it presents the various configured contexts as HTML for users to click through to. This produced HTML includes output that contains the configured fully qualified directory base resource location for each context.

In 2024 there have been 0 vulnerabilities in Eclipse .Last year Eclipse had 24 security vulnerabilities published.Right now, Eclipse is on track to have less security vulnerabilities in 2024 than it did last year.

It may take a day or so for new Eclipse vulnerabilities to show up in the stats or in the list of recent security vulnerabilties. Additionally vulnerabilities may be tagged under a different product or component name.

In Eclipse Memory Analyzer versions 0.7 to 1.14.0, report definition XML files are not filtered to prohibitdocument type definition (DTD) references to external entities.This means that if a user chooses to use a malicious report definition XML file containing an external entity referenceto generate a report then Eclipse Memory Analyzer may access external files or URLs defined via a DTD in the report definition.

In Eclipse OpenJ9 before version 0.41.0, the JVM can be forced into an infinite busy hang on a spinlock or a segmentation fault if a shutdown signal (SIGTERM, SIGINT or SIGHUP) is received before the JVM has finished initializing.

In Eclipse IDE versions < 2023-09 (4.29) some files with xml content are parsed vulnerable against all sorts of XXE attacks. The user just needs to open any evil project or update an open project with a vulnerable file (for example for review a foreign repository or patch).

In Eclipse Parsson before versions 1.1.4 and 1.0.5, Parsing JSON from untrusted sources can lead malicious actors to exploit the fact that the built-in support for parsing numbers with large scale in Java has a number of edge cases where the input text of a number can lead to much larger processing time than one would expect.To mitigate the risk, parsson put in place a size limit for the numbers as well as their scale.

In Eclipse Mosquito before and including 2.0.5, establishing a connection to the mosquitto server without sending data causes the EPOLLOUT event to be added, which results excessive CPU consumption. This could be used by a malicious actor to perform denial of service type attack. This issue is fixed in 2.0.6

In Eclipse RAP versions from 3.0.0 up to and including 3.25.0, Remote Code Execution is possible on Windows when using the FileUpload component.The reason for this is a not completely secure extraction of the file name in the FileUploadProcessor.stripFileName(String name) method. As soon as this finds a / in the path, everything before it is removed, but potentially \ (backslashes) coming further back are kept.For example, a file name such as /..\..\webapps\shell.war can be used to upload a file to a Tomcat server under Windows, which is then saved as ..\..\webapps\shell.war in its webapps directory and can then be executed.

Jetty is a Java based web server and servlet engine. Prior to versions 9.4.52, 10.0.16, 11.0.16, and 12.0.1, Jetty accepts the `+` character proceeding the content-length value in a HTTP/1 header field. This is more permissive than allowed by the RFC and other servers routinely reject such requests with 400 responses. There is no known exploit scenario, but it is conceivable that request smuggling could result if jetty is used in combination with a server that does not close the connection after sending such a 400 response. Versions 9.4.52, 10.0.16, 11.0.16, and 12.0.1 contain a patch for this issue. There is no workaround as there is no known exploit scenario.

Eclipse Jetty Canonical Repository is the canonical repository for the Jetty project. Users of the CgiServlet with a very specific command structure may have the wrong command executed. If a user sends a request to a org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CGI Servlet for a binary with a space in its name, the servlet will escape the command by wrapping it in quotation marks. This wrapped command, plus an optional command prefix, will then be executed through a call to Runtime.exec. If the original binary name provided by the user contains a quotation mark followed by a space, the resulting command line will contain multiple tokens instead of one. This issue was patched in version 9.4.52, 10.0.16, 11.0.16 and 12.0.0-beta2.
