Description

Hello support team,

We are using Dependency Check to scan vulnerable dependencies in our Java components.

We noticed an inconsistency in scan results:
- CVE-2026-40973 is not reported in the scan output
- CVE-2026-42581 is reported
- CVE-2026-40982 is reported
- CVE-2026-41002 is reported

We also checked suppressed vulnerabilities but could not find CVE-2026-40973 anywhere
However, this CVE-2026-40973 is reported when using Sonatype scan

Could you help to guide how to investigate to find out the root cause why CVE-2026-40973 is not reported with Dependency Check tool?
