Cyclonedx based licenses fails for some trivy versions
Why are we doing this work
Problem
There is an existing upstream bug that causes failures in container scanning related cyclonedx reports. Invalid expressions are added into license.name which causes ingestion failures.
Expected behavior
- Custom license URLs should be provided directly by cyclonedx reports
- No fallback URL generation should be attempted for custom licenses
- As a side effect, URL links won't be available for custom licenses, which is acceptable
Implementation notes
- Remove the fallback URL generation in
ee/lib/gitlab/license_scanning/package_licenses.rb - Update the container scanning parser to properly handle license data
- Note that custom licenses can be disabled via the security configuration page
