Description
Adds a scoped OWASP dependency-check suppression in
dependency-check/global-suppressions.xmlfor CVE-2026-54285 onio.prometheus:prometheus-metrics-tracer-otelandprometheus-metrics-tracer-otel-agent.What: dependency-check flags these Prometheus Java client tracer modules (versions including 1.3.5, 1.3.10, and 1.9.0) because they match CPE
cpe:2.3:a:opentelemetry:opentelemetry(OpenTelemetry versioning; affected range below 2.8.0). That CPE does not apply to these Maven artifacts.Why: False positive blocking dependency-check in Hypertrace repos that consume the shared suppressions file from this repository. Maintainer agreed in Slack that suppression is the appropriate handling (APPSEC-1202).
Affected repos (examples): hypertrace/hypertrace-bom (PR 113), hypertrace/service-framework (PR 156), and other repos using this action's global suppressions.
CI evidence: hypertrace-bom workflow run 37420249243 flagged the 1.9.0 tracer jars on the same OpenTelemetry CPE.
