Comment 2 Ben Beasley 2024-06-07 23:55:32 UTC

I keep complaining about avoidable false positives with these security bug-filing scripts. Filing CVE bugs is a useful service, but only if the signal-to-noise ratio is reasonable.

The spec file for this package already deletes all package-lock.json files in the JavaScript examples as a workaround for the bug-filing scripts, because otherwise I get a flood of CVE’s about vulnerable versions NPM libraries that are mentioned there – even though these libraries are not included in the RPM package, and would never even be downloaded unless someone went and manually built the examples.

Now these scripts are apparently also digging through package.json files in the examples and filing bugs about those too.

If nothing else, it would be great if the bug-filing scripts could at least ignore package.json/package-lock.json files that are marked %doc?

I’m going to just stop packaging the examples. Hopefully that will be enough to prevent these bug reports in the future.
