Attendees: Michael Bouschen, Tilmann Zäschke, Craig Russell

Next meeting: Tuesday September 8 1100 PDT 2000 CEST

Agenda:

1. Possible bug in implementation of user defined object id classes.

- New PR https://github.com/apache/db-jdo/pull/134

The patch restricts use of the ObjectIdentity constructor to only key classes 
that are known key classes (String, date, etc.) and not "random" user-defined 
classes that might cause harm if instantiated with an externally supplied key 
string. The known key classes can be modified by the user at runtime.
The threat vector needs some more work to resolve whether having access to the 
list of known key classes is itself a threat, and therefore if this really is 
an external vulnerability.

- New PR https://github.com/apache/db-jdo/pull/135

This potential vulnerability is for a harmful document instantiation when 
processing the configuration xml files. The mitigation can be ignored by 
setting another system property, so again the issue is what the JDO components 
are protecting from if the user can bypass the mitigation.

2. Possibility of running the JDO project through Glasswing security scan

3. Trusted Release project

7. Other issues

Action Items from weeks past:

[Jun 02 2026] AI Craig give feedback to ATR team to use jdo-dev for voting.
[Jun 02 2026] AI everyone review the email and validate the release and vote 
using the tool.
[Jun 02 2026] AI Craig ask Jarek how to respond to Q17 and use of (maintainer) 
in answers?
[Mar 17 2026] AI Everyone look at the Sonarcloud items.
[Jan 13 2026] AI Craig report trusted release issues to atr team.
[Aug 05 2025] AI everyone write to trusted release with errors in 
https://release-test.apache.org/projects/db-jdo + AI everyone take a look and 
tell the trusted release team what you find.
[Jul 01 2025] AI everyone take a look at the process for alpha testing. May 
require a file in the dist directory to get started.
[Nov 12 2024] AI Michael see if it makes sense to add Map.contains(Entry e) to 
the JDO API. This would be useful to have queries where e.g. the user is 
interested in finding all Employees where the phone number is of key "home" and 
value "+16508617767".
[Nov 05 2024] AI Michael create a JIRA for containsEntry, include the current 
test case and we can continue from here.
[Jul 13 2023] AI All Open a new JIRA for Android since having JNDI in the API 
disallows use with Android
[Jun 08 2023] AI All make a JIRA: JDO support for Java Records 
https://openjdk.org/jeps/395
[Dec 09 2021] AI Craig: Try to contact all current/former participants in JDO 
development and see if and how they want to be recognized on the JDO and DB web 
sites.https://db.apache.org/whoweare.html
[Oct 07 2021] AI Craig send a private message to all JSR-243 Expert Group
