描述
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
`flight-sql` uses `org.apache.derby:derby:10.15.2.0` in test scope, which is flagged
as vulnerable to [CVE-2022-46337](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-46337): a **critical (CVSS 9.8)** LDAP authentication bypass.
There is no fix available for this dependency and there never will be.
The NVD advisory lists `10.15.2.1` as the fix for the Java 11 branch, but that
version was never published to Maven Central. The same is true for `10.14.3.0` and
`10.16.1.2`. The only fixed release that exists on Maven Central is `10.17.1.0`
(Java 21+), which was also the last release ever made.
On 2025-10-10, the Derby PMC voted to retire the project into a read-only state.
Development and bug-fixing have ended and no further releases will be published. This
means the 10.15.x branch will remain vulnerable indefinitely with no upstream
resolution path.
Context on why the patch versions were never released:
- [DERBY-7147](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7147) — fix committed to branches, but no releases were cut for 10.14/10.15/10.16
- [DERBY-7178](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7178) — closed as "Not A Problem" by the Derby team
Since Derby is test scope only in `flight-sql`, there is no runtime exposure.
However, this causes persistent scanner noise for downstream consumers and the
situation will not improve on its own.
#### Possible paths forward:
- Upgrade to `10.17.1.0` (requires Java 21 as test baseline for `flight-sql`)
- Replace Derby with another embedded DB (e.g. H2) in `flight-sql` tests — likely
the cleanest long-term option given Derby's retirement
贡献指南
调研方向
首先定位 flight-sql 模块中 Derby 的 Maven 依赖声明,并查看使用它的测试。比较升级 Derby 与将其替换为另一个嵌入式数据库对 Java-baseline 的影响;完成的标准是 flight-sql 测试通过,并且不再报告存在漏洞的依赖项。
