Enhance OSV Parser to Include Mitigation Information with Fixed Package Versions

[4b75726169736859]

Description

This pull request enhances the OSV Scan parser by adding support for mitigation information, specifically the fixed versions of affected packages.

Key Changes:

1. Extraction of Fixed Versions:

   • Added logic to parse the ranges field within the affected section of each vulnerability.
   • Extracted the fixed version from the events list when available and formatted it as:
     Upgrade to version: <fixed_version>.

2. Integration of Mitigation:

   • Introduced a new mitigation field in findings to provide actionable guidance for resolving vulnerabilities.

3. Enhanced Usability:

   • Improved the output of the parser to make it more informative and aligned with best practices in vulnerability management.

4. Testing Support:

   • Standalone Python script to test the parser. The script reads a sample JSON file, executes the parser, and outputs the findings, including the mitigation details, for validation.

Test Results

Testing was conducted using the provided sample JSON file (test.json). The parser correctly identifies findings and includes mitigation details in its output.

Example Output:

• Title: CVE-2024-50252_linux
• Severity: Medium
• Mitigation: Upgrade to version: 6.1.119-1
• Description: Detailed vulnerability information.
• References: Links to relevant advisories and fixes.

Additionally, I verified that:

• Findings without a fixed version omit the mitigation field.
• The parser handles malformed JSON gracefully by returning an empty findings list.

Unit tests are planned to extend dojo/unittests for comprehensive coverage of these changes.

Documentation

The documentation has been updated to reflect this new feature:

• Added a note about the mitigation field in the parser's description.
• Clarified that mitigation information will appear when available in the input JSON.

---

Checklist

• Changes submitted against the dev branch.
• PR named meaningfully for release notes.
• Code is flake8 and Python 3.11 compliant.
• Tests added to validate the parser's new functionality.
• Proper label applied: Import Scans.
