Description

Expected behavior

No vulnerabilities (especially high or critical severity ones) should be found on a Trivy scan

Actual behavior

Critical vulnerabilities are detected in Spring framework and other components. I'm aware of the closed issue here: https://github.com/OHDSI/WebAPI/issues/2298 and the fact the vulnerability only applies with JDK9+. This isn't really a satisfactory solution for us . Can you advise if there has been or will be a fix for this issue so that there are no critical or high severity vulnerabilities detected after scanning WebAPI installed from the latest release?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the dependency versions included in WebAPI's latest release and reproduce the reported Trivy scan, focusing on Spring framework and other flagged components. Done means the release scan no longer reports high or critical vulnerabilities, or the remaining findings are documented with their applicability and remediation status.
