Description of Change
Modified the identification and suppression rules to fix false positive vulnerabilities for the zabbix-utils Python package.
Previously, zabbix-utils was being incorrectly identified as the main zabbix product (CPE cpe:/a:zabbix:zabbix), leading to 18 false positive critical vulnerabilities.
Changes made:
Added a suppression rule in dependencycheck-base-suppression.xml to ignore cpe:/a:zabbix:zabbix specifically for pkg:pypi/zabbix-utils.
Added a hint in dependencycheck-base-hint.xml to help the analyzer distinguish between the utility library and the main product.

fixes #8087
Have test cases been added to cover the new functionality?


yes Verified by running a local scan on a project containing zabbix-utils:2.0.3. The scan results confirmed that the 18 vulnerabilities previously found are now successfully suppressed, resulting in 0 vulnerable dependencies.
