PROFILE

Faisal Dilawar

Worked on security hardening and compatibility improvements in the hapifhir/hapi-fhir and quarkusio/quarkus repositories, focusing on backend development and dependency management using Java, Spring Boot, and GraalVM. Addressed critical security vulnerabilities by upgrading tomcat-embed-core and Jetty dependencies, updating changelogs, and pinning versions to reduce risk and improve traceability. Enhanced test suite reliability after a Spring Boot 3 migration by aligning Jersey configurations and dependencies, ensuring RESTful API routes functioned correctly. Improved GraalVM native-image build stability in quarkusio/quarkus by conditionally registering DefaultJwtValidator, preventing runtime errors when required libraries were absent, and supporting enterprise adoption.

March 2026 focused on security hardening, compatibility improvements, and native build readiness across two major repositories. In hapifhir/hapi-fhir, we delivered critical security vulnerability fixes by upgrading server dependencies (tomcat-embed-core to 10.1.52 to mitigate CVE-2026-24734 and Jetty to 12.0.32 to address CVE-2026-1605), with related changelog updates and dependency pinning. We also completed test-suite compatibility work after the Spring Boot 3 migration, ensuring SampleJerseyRestfulServerApplicationTest passes with confirmed Jersey configuration and a Jersey 3.x upgrade path (3.1.11) to resolve NoSuchMethodError and routing issues. In quarkusio/quarkus, we implemented a conditional DefaultJwtValidator registration to avoid NoClassDefFoundError during GraalVM native-image builds, improving native build stability when the required library is present. These changes were complemented by dependency pinning and changelog updates to improve traceability. Overall, the work reduces security risk, stabilizes native builds, and accelerates enterprise adoption by delivering concrete, verifiable improvements across core interfaces and build paths.
