Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked llama-index monorepo and the referenced GHSA advisory edit. The issue names no repository file, test, or entry point, so first clarify how package attribution should work for monorepos and define completion as advisories no longer flagging unrelated packages.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hey all!

Recently we've noticed that our python monorepo llama-index was flagged with a CVE (and there is likely more incoming in the future from huntr.com). While this is fine, GHSA seems to be incorrectly flagging our entire llama-index package for CVE's on completely different packages. This creates a lot of false noise for our users.

While I can open a PR to change this like this recently edited advisory I contributed here, it would be exhausting to keep up with this.

Is there a way that GHSA can better flag packages in our monorepo? Or will I have to change each one manually when they open?

Any help would be appreciated!
