@kautuk_sahni  I followed the steps below to resolve the issue, and it has been successfully fixed.

I have resolved all critical, major, and blocker severity issues reported during the AEM as a Cloud Service code scanning step.

Additionally:

  • I upgraded the AEM Cloud SDK version to the latest recommended version in the pom.xml.

  • I also updated all relevant Maven plugin versions as per the official Adobe Cloud Manager documentation:
    Adobe AEM Build Environment Details

These updates helped ensure compatibility with the latest static code analysis rules and resolved the reported issue related to the PotentiallyDangerousFunctionCheck rule during the SonarQube scan.

Hi @nilesh_mali ,

The error message you're encountering indicates that you're trying to call the equals method on a String object, but the object fullyQualifiedName is null. This means that the variable fullyQualifiedName has not been initialized or assigned a value before the equals method is called.

To resolve this issue, you should ensure that fullyQualifiedName is properly initialized before you attempt to use it.

    Tried multiple code updates, but the issue remains unresolved. Reached out to the SonarQube community and received the following response

     

    You're encountering runtime errors in SonarQube's custom Adobe rules, specifically: NullPointerException in PotentiallyDangerousFunctionCheck UnsupportedOperationException in ConnectionTimeoutMechanismCheck These are not issues with your codebase itself, but rather bugs or unhandled edge cases in the Adobe-provided custom rule implementations.
