None of the signals that would put it in front of an engineer is present, and the volume of CVEs below that bar is too great to take one at a time, so no rule is written for it. This is a decision about what we act on, not a finding that the CVE is harmless — a patch may well be derivable, and a low-severity defect can still be one link in a longer chain.","verdicts":[{"rule":"rejected","stage":"identity","outcome":"no-match"},{"rule":"armr-patch-file","stage":"scope","outcome":"no-match"},{"rule":"armr-secure-rule-file","stage":"scope","outcome":"no-match"},{"rule":"manual-classification","stage":"scope","outcome":"no-match"},{"rule":"h2-history","stage":"scope","outcome":"no-match"},{"rule":"non-java-upstream","stage":"scope","outcome":"no-match"},{"rule":"oracle-component","stage":"scope","outcome":"no-match"},{"rule":"osv-maven","stage":"scope","outcome":"matched","status":"QUEUED-FOR-REVIEW","detail":"Maven packages: com.googlecode.owasp-java-html-sanitizer:owasp-java-html-sanitizer"},{"rule":"patch-hint","stage":"disposition","outcome":"no-match"},{"rule":"open-source-maven","stage":"disposition","outcome":"matched","status":"MITIGATION-CANDIDATE","detail":"Open-source Maven artifact indexed by OSV (Maven packages: com.googlecode.owasp-java-html-sanitizer:owasp-java-html-sanitizer).
