079 – Non-upgradable dependencies
Description
Dependencies are not explicitly declared (name and version) within the source code. They are copied directly into the repositories.
Impact
- Loss of maintainability because dependencies are not maintained. - Late update of units in case a vulnerability is reported for one of the reported vulnerabilities.
Recommendation
All dependencies must be declared and must referenced with a dependency manager (npm, pip, maven). This allows to standardize projects construction and packaging.
Threat
Authenticated attacker from the Internet.
