-# HELPER FUNCTION: Extract the CVSS v3 vector string
+# SECTION 6: AVAILABILITY-ONLY IMPACT, SCOPE UNCHANGED
+#
+# Rationale: CVEs where the only impact is availability (DoS/resource
+# exhaustion) and scope is unchanged mean: processing crafted input can
+# crash or hang the affected process, but cannot read data (C:N),
+# modify data (I:N), or affect other components (S:U).
+#
+# In ephemeral batch containers, a DoS means a single pipeline job
+# fails or hangs until it hits its timeout or memory limit. This is
+# operationally equivalent to a corrupted input file or OOM — the job
+# fails, the container is destroyed, and the next job runs on a fresh
+# container. There is no persistent state corruption, no data
+# exfiltration, and no lateral movement.
+#
+# This rule applies regardless of attack vector (including AV:N),
+# because the impact is strictly contained: even if triggered by
+# network-delivered data, the worst outcome is one failed job.
+#
+# NOTE: This does NOT ignore:
+#   - DoS with S:C / SC≠N / SI≠N / SA≠N (scope changed — could
+#     affect host or other containers)
+#   - DoS combined with any confidentiality or integrity impact
+#     (C≠N or I≠N), which could indicate data leaks or corruption
+#     alongside the crash
+#
+# CVSS v3.1: C:N + I:N + S:U (with any A value)
+# CVSS v4.0: VC:N + VI:N + SC:N + SI:N + SA:N (with any VA value)
+#
+# Risk of false negative: Low. The concern would be if a DoS could be
+# weaponized into a resource exhaustion attack against the compute
+# platform (e.g., repeatedly submitting jobs with crafted inputs to
+# burn credits). This is a business logic concern mitigated by job
+# submission controls and cost alerts, not by container hardening.

+# CVE-2020-25649 — jackson-databind XXE in DOMDeserializer
+# Severity: HIGH (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)
+# Package: com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind 2.10.5
+# Location: opt/conda/share/snpeff-5.2-3/snpEff.jar
+#
+# JUSTIFICATION:
+#   The vulnerable code path is DOMDeserializer, which is invoked when
+#   jackson-databind deserializes XML input into DOM objects without
+#   disabling external entity resolution. This enables XXE attacks
+#   (SSRF, local file read) when processing attacker-controlled XML.
+#
+#   snpEff uses jackson-databind for JSON parsing only (config metadata,
+#   database indices). snpEff's input formats are VCF (tab-delimited),
+#   GenBank (flat text), and Java properties files. It never parses XML
+#   through Jackson's DOMDeserializer. The vulnerable code is present in
+#   the fat JAR but the code path is never traversed.
+#
+#   This exclusion applies only to snpEff's bundled copy. If jackson-
+#   databind 2.10.5 appears in other JARs, this entry will NOT suppress
+#   those findings — Trivy matches .trivyignore by CVE ID globally, but
+#   we accept this because no other JAR in our images bundles this old
