Submit resolved Gradle dependency graph to Dependabot#288
Merged
Conversation
Three open Dependabot alerts (CVE-2026-34477, CVE-2026-34478, CVE-2026-34480) flag log4j-core < 2.25.4 with manifest_path settings.gradle.kts and relationship "transitive". They come from the SpotBugs Gradle plugin: spotbugs:4.8.6 (and 4.9.x) declares log4j-core 2.23.1 / 2.24.3 transitively in its POM. The build already forces log4j-core 2.25.4 in the spotbugs configuration (build.gradle.kts:113), so the resolved classpath is patched. But Dependabot's dependency graph for this repo is built by static analysis of the build files, which cannot see resolutionStrategy.force, so it keeps reporting the unforced transitive version. Add a workflow that runs gradle/actions/dependency-submission on push to main. The action resolves every configuration and submits the resulting graph to GitHub, replacing the static one. Dependabot then sees log4j-core 2.25.4 everywhere and auto-closes these false positives. It also covers any future transitive declarations from plugin POMs. Signed-off-by: Matteo Merli <mmerli@apache.org>
