.vscode/settings.json (1)
1-4: Repo-level null analysis and build-config disabling may hide issuesDisabling
java.compile.nullAnalysis.modeandjava.configuration.updateBuildConfigurationat the repo level reduces IDE noise but also turns off helpful checks and automatic Maven config syncing for everyone. Confirm this is a conscious team decision; otherwise consider dropping these settings so each developer can control them locally.src/main/resources/application.properties (1)
1-5: Thymeleaf configuration looks good; consider cache behavior for prodThe prefix/suffix configuration is standard and correct.
spring.thymeleaf.cache=falseis great for local development, but for production you’ll typically want caching enabled (or made profile-specific) for performance.src/main/java/com/example/model/Parcel.java (1)
1-5: Model scaffold is fine for nowEmpty
Parcelas a placeholder is acceptable while the domain is being designed. Once requirements are clearer, either flesh this out with fields/accessors (or Lombok/etc.) or drop it until it’s actually needed to avoid dead code.src/main/java/com/example/service/ParcelService.java (1)
1-8: Service scaffold is valid; expand or trim as the API emerges
ParcelServiceis correctly annotated and ready for DI. When you start adding behavior, consider defining a clear service interface (or at least concrete methods) so this class isn’t just a placeholder. If it stays unused for a while, you might also defer adding it to keep the codebase lean.src/main/resources/templates/index.html (1)
1-10: Template is minimal and correctly wired to Thymeleaf.HTML structure and the
th:text="${message}"binding align withParcelController.indexand Thymeleaf defaults; this is fine for an initial landing page. Optionally add static fallback text inside the<h1>so something meaningful renders even ifmessageis missing.src/main/java/com/example/SimpleParcelServiceApp.java (1)
1-11: Spring Boot entry point looks correct.
@SpringBootApplicationandSpringApplication.run(SimpleParcelServiceApp.class, args)are standard and should bootstrap the app as expected. Just ensure your Maven/Spring Boot plugin configuration (main class / start class) is consistent with this package and class name for executable jars.src/main/java/com/example/controller/ParcelController.java (1)
1-15: Controller wiring for root path and model attribute is straightforward and correct.Mapping
"/"to theindexview and adding"message"to theModelmatches the Thymeleaf template and should render fine. As the app grows, consider externalizing the welcome string into amessages.propertiesbundle for easier localization and reuse..github/main.yml (1)
21-27: Maven installation and caching are heavier than necessary on a self‑hosted runner.You install Maven each run via
sudo apt install maven -yand also enable bothsetup-java@v3’s built‑in Maven cache and a separateactions/cacheon~/.m2. On a self‑hosted runner it’s usually better to:
- Preinstall Maven (drop the
aptstep), and- Use either
setup-java’s Maven cache oractions/cache, but not both.Also applies to: 36-44
Jenkinsfile (1)
29-33: Backgroundmvn spring-boot:run &in Jenkins can leave orphan processes.Running the app in the background inside a
shstep returns immediately and may leave the Spring Boot process running after the pipeline finishes. In Jenkins it’s safer to use a managed lifecycle (spring-boot:start/spring-boot:stop, a dedicated deploy job, or a stage with a bounded timeout that explicitly kills the process) rather than backgrounding it.

Fix SonarCloud env var wiring: use env vars instead of secrets for non-sensitive values.
The SONAR_ORG and SONAR_HOST_URL are defined in the env block but the Maven command references them via ${{ secrets.SONAR_ORG }} and ${{ secrets.SONAR_HOST_URL }}. Unless those are also created as secrets, these will be empty. Use:
- name: SonarCloud Analysis
env:
SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
SONAR_ORG: your-organization # Replace with your actual SonarCloud organization
SONAR_HOST_URL: https://sonarcloud.io
run: |
mvn clean verify sonar:sonar \
- -Dsonar.organization=${{ secrets.SONAR_ORG }} \
- -Dsonar.host.url=${{ secrets.SONAR_HOST_URL }} \
+ -Dsonar.organization=$SONAR_ORG \
+ -Dsonar.host.url=$SONAR_HOST_URL \
-Dsonar.login=${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}Also note: the build job runs mvn clean install and the sonarcloud-analysis job runs mvn clean verify sonar:sonar. Both include test execution, so tests run twice. If build time becomes an issue, consider reusing coverage data from the build job instead of rebuilding.
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In .github/main.yml around lines 101 to 127, the SonarCloud job references
SONAR_ORG and SONAR_HOST_URL via secrets but they are set in the env block;
update the Maven command to use the env variables (e.g. ${ENV_VAR} or
$SONAR_ORG/$SONAR_HOST_URL depending on shell context) instead of secrets so the
values are actually passed, and remove or correct the secrets.* references;
additionally, to avoid running tests twice, change the build/sonar invocation to
stop re-running tests (e.g. reuse artifacts/coverage from the build job or run
sonar:sonar without a full rebuild/test) — implement one of these approaches
consistently and ensure env wiring and test-reuse are reflected in the workflow.

🌐 Web query:
Spring Boot 2.5.4 Java 17 compatibility known vulnerabilities CVEs
💡 Result:
Short answer
- Officially, Spring Boot 2.5.4’s system-requirements documentation lists compatibility up to Java 16 (so Java 17 is not an officially supported target for 2.5.4). [1]
- In practice many people report Spring Boot 2.5.x (2.5.2+) runs on Java 17, but that is community experience, not an official guarantee. Test carefully if you run 2.5.4 on Java 17. [2]
Known-security issues (high level)
- Many of the “CVE” exposures for a Spring Boot 2.5.4 application come from its managed/transitive dependencies (Tomcat, Spring Framework/Security, Jackson, etc.), not from the boot starter itself. Security scanners/Snyk/Maven listings for 2.5.4 show multiple dependency CVEs (examples surfaced for 2.5.x artifacts include Spring-related CVEs and Tomcat CVEs). You should scan your project dependencies and the exact versions in the 2.5.4 BOM to get the precise CVE list. [3][4]
Actionable next steps
- If you require official Java‑17 support and ongoing security fixes, upgrade to a supported Spring Boot line (2.7.x with commercial support or 3.x for open-source support) rather than staying on 2.5.4. [1][3]
- Run a dependency CVE scan (Snyk/Dependabot/OWASP Dependency-Check or your org’s scanner) against your built artifact to list the exact CVEs affecting your application and whether fixes are available. [3]
- If you must remain on 2.5.4, audit and update individual transitive dependencies (Tomcat, Spring Framework, Jackson, etc.) to patched versions where possible, or apply vendor hotfixes if available.
Sources
- Spring Boot 2.5.4 reference (system requirements). [1]
- Community reports about Java 17 compatibility for Spring Boot 2.5+. (StackOverflow). [2]
- Snyk / Maven listings showing known vulnerabilities for Spring Boot 2.5.4 artifacts and their dependencies. [3][4]
🌐 Web query:
Tomcat 9.0.52 CVE vulnerabilities RCE path traversal
💡 Result:
Short answer: Apache Tomcat 9.0.52 is affected by a relative path‑traversal vulnerability (CVE-2025-55752) that can allow attackers to bypass protections on /WEB-INF and /META-INF — and, if PUT is enabled, permit file upload leading to remote code execution. Upgrade to a fixed release (Tomcat 9.0.109 or later) or apply vendor patches. [1][2]
Details and actions:
- Issue: regression in URL rewrite handling (rewritten URL normalized before decode) allows crafted requests to bypass security constraints (can expose /WEB-INF, /META-INF). If PUT is enabled malicious files might be uploaded → possible RCE. Affects Tomcat 9.0.0.M11 through 9.0.108 (so 9.0.52 is affected). [1]
- Recommendation: upgrade Tomcat to 9.0.109 or later (or 10.1.45 / 11.0.11 for those series) or apply your OS/vendor security update. Disable/limit PUT handlers and any untrusted rewrite rules until patched. Validate vendor advisories for your distribution. [1][3]

Spring Boot 2.5.4 end of life support status
💡 Result:
Spring Boot 2.5.4 is part of the 2.5.x line, which reached end-of-life in February 2023 — it is no longer supported. [1][2]
Sources:
- Spring Boot supported-versions (shows 2.5.x EOL = February 2023). [1]
- Spring support policy / enterprise timelines. [2]
🌐 Web query:
Spring Boot 2.7.x 3.x Java 17 security updates Tomcat Jackson Logback
💡 Result:
Short summary & recommended actions
-
Upgrade Spring Boot to a patched release (2.7.x or 3.x) — several security hotfixes have been published; install the latest 2.7.x or 3.x maintenance release for your line (examples: 2.7.25 / 3.2.14 / 3.3.x releases that include CVE fixes). [1][2]
-
Tomcat / Jakarta: if you run Spring Boot 3.x you must use servlet containers compatible with Jakarta EE (Tomcat 10+). For Boot 2.7.x you remain on Tomcat 9.x; ensure you use the Tomcat version that Spring Boot’s BOM manages or upgrade Tomcat only via Spring Boot/OS vendor guidance. Check the Spring Boot release notes for the exact managed Tomcat versions. [1][3]
-
Jackson (jackson-core / jackson-databind): upgrade to patched Jackson releases — fixes for deep‑nesting DoS (stack exhaustion) were added in jackson-core 2.15.0 and other advisories exist (e.g. CVE-2025-52999). Make sure your effective dependency (managed by Spring Boot) is at or above the fixed Jackson version. If you override Jackson versions, update them. [4]
-
Logback: multiple critical issues were disclosed (e.g. CVE-2024-12798 affecting JaninoEventEvaluator and related CVE advisories). Update Logback to a fixed non‑vulnerable release (upstream fixed commits/releases such as 1.5.13+ are referenced by vendors). Also remove/disable Janino-based evaluators or ensure logback config files cannot be tampered with by untrusted actors. [5][6]
-
Practical steps (priority order)
- Run mvn dependency:tree / gradle dependencyInsight to see effective Tomcat, Jackson, Logback versions.
- Upgrade Spring Boot to the latest maintenance release for your major line (2.7.x or 3.x) — this updates managed dependency versions. (Spring blog posts list security fixes per release). [1][2]
- If you must stay on an older Boot line, apply vendor hotfixes or Spring commercial hotfixes where available (Spring provides commercial hotfix branches). [1][2]
- Explicitly pin jackson-core >= 2.15.0 (or the fixed version listed in advisories) and logback to a fixed release (e.g. 1.5.13+ where the Janino issue was fixed), then rebuild and run tests. [4][5]
- Check your logback configs for usage of JaninoEventEvaluator and remove/replace it if possible; ensure config files are write-protected in production.
- Verify container compatibility: when moving to Spring Boot 3.x, test Jakarta migration (Tomcat 10+), and run full integration tests on Java 17 (supported by both Boot 2.7.x and 3.x but Boot 3 requires Jakarta-compatible servlet container). [3][1]

Spring Boot 2.5.4 is end-of-life and uses Java 17 without official support; critical security upgrade required
Spring Boot 2.5.4 reached end-of-life in February 2023, and its officially supported Java target is only up to Java 16 — Java 17 is not an officially tested combination. More critically, the transitive dependency stack (Tomcat 9.0.52, Jackson 2.12.4, Logback 1.2.5, Spring Framework 5.3.9, Thymeleaf 3.0.12, SnakeYAML 1.28) carries confirmed HIGH/CRITICAL CVEs including:
- Tomcat 9.0.52: CVE-2025-55752 (path traversal / RCE via /WEB-INF bypass if PUT is enabled)
- Jackson 2.12.4: Deep-nesting DoS (stack exhaustion)
- Logback 1.2.5: CVE-2024-12798 (JaninoEventEvaluator remote code execution)
Required action:
Upgrade <spring.boot.version> to the latest maintenance release in a supported line:
- Spring Boot 2.7.x for Java 11–17 (remains on Tomcat 9, active maintenance)
- Spring Boot 3.x for Java 17+ (migrates to Tomcat 10 / Jakarta EE, recommended for new projects)
This will pull in patched versions of Tomcat, Jackson, Logback, and other transitive dependencies. Rebuild and verify with your dependency scanner (mvn dependency:tree) that CVEs are cleared before deploying.
If you must remain on 2.5.4, apply Spring commercial hotfixes and explicitly pin transitive dependencies to patched versions (Jackson >= 2.15.0, Logback >= 1.5.13, etc.), but this is not recommended for a new service.

In pom.xml lines 1-63, the project pins Spring Boot to 2.5.4 (end-of-life) while
targeting Java 17 which leads to unpatched transitive CVEs; update the
<spring.boot.version> property to a supported release (either latest 2.7.x if
you want to stay on Spring Boot 2 line or migrate to Spring Boot 3.x if you can
move to Jakarta/Java 17+), adjust the <java.version> and any code/packages as
required for Spring Boot 3 (Jakarta namespace changes), then rebuild and run mvn
dependency:tree to verify transitive versions (Tomcat, Jackson, Logback) are

💡 Result:
Key inputs (valid parameters) for actions/setup-java@v3 (same inputs shown in the action README) — relevant ones for general setup and Maven caching:
- java-version — Java version (or range) to install.
- java-version-file — path to a file (.java-version or .tool-versions) containing the version.
- distribution — required; Java distribution (e.g., temurin, zulu, graalvm, etc.).
- java-package — package variant: jdk, jre, jdk+fx, jre+fx (default: jdk).
- architecture — target architecture: x86, x64, armv7, aarch64, ppc64le.
- jdkFile — local compressed JDK file to install.
- check-latest — boolean to force checking latest matching version.
- cache — enable built-in dependency caching; valid values: "maven", "gradle", or "sbt".
- cache-dependency-path — path(s) to dependency files used to compute cache key (e.g., **/pom.xml); supports wildcards and lists (useful for monorepos).
- overwrite-settings — (Maven) whether to overwrite ~/.m2/settings.xml (true/false).
- server-id — (Maven) distributionManagement repository id (default: github).
- server-username — env var name for Maven repo username (default: GITHUB_ACTOR).
- server-password — env var name for Maven repo password/token (default: GITHUB_TOKEN).
- settings-path — directory to write settings.xml (default: ~/.m2).
- gpg-private-key — GPG private key to import (for Maven signing).
- gpg-passphrase — environment variable name holding GPG passphrase (default: GPG_PASSPHRASE).
- mvn-toolchain-id — name for generated Maven toolchain id (overrides default).
- mvn-toolchain-vendor — vendor name for generated Maven toolchain entry (overrides default).
Maven caching usage (example pattern)
- Enable caching: with: cache: 'maven'
- Specify dependency file(s) to hash: with: cache-dependency-path: '**/pom.xml' (or explicit paths / list)
- Cache key format: setup-java-${{ platform }}-maven-${{ fileHash }}; workflow output cache-hit indicates a restore hit.

Fix GitHub Actions
setup-javaconfiguration
The "Set up Maven" step usesdistribution: 'maven', which is invalid. Thedistributionparameter only accepts JDK distributions (temurin, zulu, graalvm, etc.), not Maven. Maven is already available on GitHub-hosted runners. Replace both Java and Maven setup steps with a single step:- name: Set up Java 17 uses: actions/setup-java@v3 with: java-version: '17' distribution: 'temurin' cache: 'maven'
This enables Maven dependency caching automatically.

Reconsider the app start/stop pattern
nohup mvn spring-boot:run &followed bymvn spring-boot:stopdo not pair correctly; thestopgoal is designed for its correspondingstartgoal, which writes a PID file. For a CI smoke test, use eithermvn spring-boot:start/mvn spring-boot:stoptogether, or run the built JAR directly (java -jar target/*.jar &) and track/kill the PID after validation.
The explicit 5-minute sleep is also excessive for CI; shorten or remove it after the health check passes.

.github/workflows/setup-java-maven.yml (1)
29-35: Maven cache may not be effective across job boundaries.Since this is a setup-only workflow that doesn't run builds, the cached dependencies won't be utilized within the same job. Each downstream job that calls this will need to also call the cache action to benefit from caching. Consider moving the cache action into the actual build job or ensure downstream jobs re-invoke caching.
Verify whether the Maven cache persists across jobs on your self-hosted runners, or consolidate caching into the job that performs the build (build-and-artifact.yml).
.github/workflows/build-and-artifact.yml (1)
13-13: Maven build doesn't inherit the cache from setup job.The
mvn clean installcommand runs without Maven caching from the setup-java-maven.yml job. Since caching doesn't persist across jobs on self-hosted runners, consider:
- Re-invoking the cache action in this job to restore ~/.m2
- Or consolidating Java/Maven setup and the build into a single job
Add Maven caching to this job:
jobs: build-artifact: runs-on: self-hosted steps: + - name: Checkout Code + uses: actions/checkout@v4 + + - name: Set up Java + uses: actions/setup-java@v4 + with: + java-version: '17' + distribution: 'temurin' + + - name: Cache Maven dependencies + uses: actions/cache@v4 + with: + path: ~/.m2 + key: ${{ runner.os }}-maven-${{ hashFiles('**/pom.xml') }} + restore-keys: | + ${{ runner.os }}-maven- + - name: Build with Maven run: mvn clean install.github/workflows/springboot-run-stop.yml (1)
15-20: Hardcoded wait times may be insufficient or wasteful.The 15-second startup wait and 3-minute hold time are arbitrary. Spring Boot startup time varies based on dependencies, configuration, and machine resources. The 3-minute wait serves no functional purpose and extends pipeline execution time unnecessarily.
Implement adaptive waiting with health check polls:
# Wait for the Spring Boot app to fully start - name: Wait for Spring Boot App to Start run: | - echo "Waiting for the app to start..." - sleep 15 - echo "App should now be running." + echo "Waiting for the app to start..." + for i in {1..30}; do + if curl -f http://localhost:8080/actuator/health 2>/dev/null; then + echo "App is healthy after $((i * 2)) seconds" + exit 0 + fi + sleep 2 + done + echo "App failed to become healthy within 60 seconds" + exit 1Remove the unnecessary 3-minute wait:
- # Wait for 3 minutes (180 seconds) - - name: Wait for 3 minutes - run: | - echo "App has been running for 3 minutes. Waiting..." - sleep 180 - # Gracefully Stop Spring Boot AppAlso applies to: 37-41

Parallel execution of springboot-run-stop and sonarcloud-analysis may cause race conditions.
Both jobs depend only on build-artifact, so they can run simultaneously. If springboot-run-stop fails (indicating a broken build), sonarcloud-analysis may still execute and report false results. Additionally, both jobs may interfere with each other on a self-hosted runner (port binding, resource contention).
Consider making sonarcloud-analysis depend on springboot-run-stop to ensure the application runs successfully before analysis:
# Call the SonarCloud analysis workflow

Application validation will fail: using public IP to test localhost.
Line 26 fetches the runner's public IP address, but the Spring Boot application runs on localhost (127.0.0.1:8080), not on the public IP. The HTTP request to http://$IP_ADDRESS:8080 will fail because:
- The app is bound to localhost, not the public interface
- The runner's public IP won't route to the local service
- Firewall rules may block external traffic to port 8080
This validation step will fail every time, rendering the entire test unreliable.
Use localhost or 127.0.0.1 for validation:
- name: Validate App is Running

Add input validation to prevent malformed or malicious data.
The method accepts all parameters as plain strings without any validation for length, format, or content. This could allow:
- Excessively long strings causing memory/storage issues
- Empty strings despite being required in the HTML form (if form is bypassed)
- Potential injection attacks in downstream processing

@PostMapping("/sendParcel")
public String sendParcel(@Valid @ModelAttribute Parcel parcel,
BindingResult result,
Model model) {
if (result.hasErrors()) {
return "index";
}
// Process valid parcel
model.addAttribute("parcel", parcel);

@NotBlank(message = "Recipient name is required")
@Size(max = 100, message = "Recipient name must not exceed 100 characters")
private String recipientName;
@NotBlank(message = "Recipient address is required")

Use the existing Parcel model object instead of individual parameters.
The AI summary indicates that src/main/java/com/example/model/Parcel.java exists. Using individual @RequestParam annotations instead of a model object violates the MVC pattern and makes the code harder to maintain.
Refactor to use the Parcel model object with @ModelAttribute:
@PostMapping("/sendParcel")
public String sendParcel(
- @RequestParam("recipientName") String recipientName,
- @RequestParam("recipientAddress") String recipientAddress,
- @RequestParam("senderName") String senderName,
- @RequestParam("senderAddress") String senderAddress,
- @RequestParam("parcelContent") String parcelContent,
+ @ModelAttribute Parcel parcel,
Model model
) {
// You can do something with the data, e.g., save it to a database
// For now, let's just add it to the model and display a confirmation
- model.addAttribute("recipientName", recipientName);
- model.addAttribute("recipientAddress", recipientAddress);
- model.addAttribute("senderName", senderName);
- model.addAttribute("senderAddress", senderAddress);
- model.addAttribute("parcelContent", parcelContent);
+ model.addAttribute("parcel", parcel);
return "confirmation";
}This approach is cleaner, more maintainable, and aligns with Spring MVC best practices.

Delegate business logic to the ParcelService layer.
The AI summary mentions that src/main/java/com/example/service/ParcelService.java exists as a service scaffold. Controllers should delegate business logic to the service layer rather than handling data directly.
Inject and use ParcelService:

+
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/")
public class ParcelController {
+
+ private final ParcelService parcelService;
+
+ public ParcelController(ParcelService parcelService) {

public String index() {Then in sendParcel:
) {
- // You can do something with the data, e.g., save it to a database
- // For now, let's just add it to the model and display a confirmation
- model.addAttribute("recipientName", recipientName);
- model.addAttribute("recipientAddress", recipientAddress);

Add error handling and validation between stages.
There is no validation that the Build stage succeeded before proceeding to the Run Application stage. If the Maven build fails, the pipeline should halt immediately rather than attempting to run a non-existent or broken application.
Add explicit error handling or rely on Jenkins' native set -e behavior by using sh scripts (already default). Ensure that if Maven exits with a non-zero status, the entire pipeline fails:
stage('Build') {
steps {
- //sh 'mvn clean package -DskipTests=false'
- script {
- // dir('hello-world-war') {
- build 'package'
- }
+ sh 'mvn clean package'
}This makes Maven failures immediately halt the pipeline.

Jenkinsfile around lines 19-27: the Build stage currently calls build 'package'
with no validation and can allow the pipeline to continue if the build fails;
replace that with an explicit shell Maven invocation (e.g., sh 'mvn clean
package -DskipTests=false') so Jenkins will fail the stage on non‑zero exit, or
if you need custom handling run sh with returnStatus and explicitly error out
(throw or error step) when the status is non‑zero; ensure no downstream stages
run by failing the pipeline immediately when the Maven build fails.

Replace the opaque custom build 'package' function with explicit Maven invocation or add documentation.
Line 24 invokes build 'package' from the Jenkins_library shared library, which obscures the actual build behavior. The commented-out code on line 21 (mvn clean package -DskipTests=false) shows tests were explicitly executed, but the custom function's test handling is unclear. Additionally, line 38 uses direct sh 'mvn spring-boot:run' invocation, creating inconsistency in how Maven is called.
Either replace with direct Maven invocation (preserving test execution):
- script {
- // dir('hello-world-war') {
- build 'package'
- }
+ sh 'mvn clean package -DskipTests=false'Or document the shared library function's contract (Maven goals, test behavior, failure handling).

Critical: mvn spring-boot:run will block the pipeline indefinitely.
The mvn spring-boot:run command starts an embedded Tomcat server that runs indefinitely, preventing the Jenkins build from completing. This will cause the pipeline to hang and timeout.
Replace this with one of the following approaches:
Option 1: Run application in background (for smoke tests/validation):
- sh 'mvn spring-boot:run'
+ sh '''
+ nohup mvn spring-boot:run > app.log 2>&1 &
+ sleep 5
+ if ! curl -f http://localhost:8080/health; then
+ echo "Application failed to start"
+ exit 1
+ fi
+ '''Option 2: Remove this stage (recommended for typical CI/CD builds):
If the goal is only to build and package the application (not run it), delete this entire stage. The packaged JAR will be available in target/ for deployment pipelines.
- stage('Run Application') {
- steps {
- sh 'mvn spring-boot:run'
- // dir('/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Parcel_service_feature-1/target') {
- // sh """
- // nohup java -jar simple-parcel-service-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar > app.log 2>&1 &

In Jenkinsfile around line 38, the pipeline currently runs "mvn spring-boot:run"
which starts the app and blocks the job indefinitely; either replace this step
with a non-blocking approach (run the JVM process in the background for
transient smoke tests, e.g., start the app in background, run tests against it,
then kill the process) or remove the stage entirely if you only need to
build/package in CI (leave mvn package or mvn verify instead so the JAR is
produced in target/ and the pipeline completes).
