common vulnerability and exposures checking for java program!

[Mandar Khire]

Hi,

I read about Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures.
I download its pdf also.
Is there any one used these things?
I used Static Analysis tools for my projects/programs.
But I not used 'Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures'.

I think if properly study & then coding, then our program will be complete safe from 'Common_Vulnerabilities_and_Exposures'.
But confusion about those 'CVE-ID' things...

Is there any tool/plugin in IDE which helps to find out which Vulnerabilities and Exposures with specific CVE-ID we have in program or project!
So after editing program it will become clear.

Can somebody give me guidance.

CVEs cover all things related to vulnerabilities and exposures in software, not just Java, and yes, many companies actually use these although I doubt anyone has the time or need to look at all of them. I just did a search on the NVD for "Java" and got back 1,542 matches out of 76,362 CVE entries. These numbers are constantly growing, although the total will grow faster than the ones for specific technologies.

The products I support are related to security intelligence and management of security-related work in operations so I'm quite familiar with CVE numbers. They are standard identifiers across the industry so that a specific security issue can be referred to consistently across systems and product/service offerings from different companies.

As for tooling, you can start by looking through recommendations from OWASP: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Dependency_Check

Thanks Junilu Lacar,
First of all sorry for asking question in wrong section of this forum.
I observe that many developer use Code analysis but it only for basic problem solving.
I used SonarLint for my project but never read about CVE.
When I realize that I should make safer code by studying CVE but project might be delay & as per client its not so much worthy that make most secure (might client also not aware CVE!).
So I am writing small article based on various whitepapers/blogs/articles/discussions/books for awareness of CVE which will might become useful for developer those working on various projects but not following guidelines for various types of securities.
