Your Answer-Please DescribeSECCOM Feedback / Recommendations

All the resources that can be accessed in PF require authentication

  • Please submit link with your security documentation + information about what capabilities authentication provides.
  • Do you require authorization? No
  • Can PF restrict access to resources based on identity? if so what mechanisms are used? No
  • Are there different levels of authorization once you've authenticated? No
  • Is there authentication and authorization on the events being acted? Authentication only
  • What kind of security is used to control access to the network elements being controlled? PF is using service mesh
  • 2023/8/22: PF will create Montreal Jira ticket to document security architecture and assurance.

Assurance Case

Does your project actually meet its documented security requirements?

...

Your Answer-Please DescribeSECCOM Feedback / Recommendations

Test cases are found at https://github.com/onap/policy-docker/tree/master/csit/resources/tests showing that authentication must be done before interacting with any resource.

ONAP docs describring how to run test cases https://docs.onap.org/projects/onap-policy-parent/en/latest/development/devtools/testing/csit.html

?

Good start

  • answer questions above under documentation security,
  • create Wiki page for your Assurance Case (or a section on the Documentation Security page)
  • provide answers there.
  • In particular describe how your security goals are being met by your implementation, or not
  • provide here a link to that Wiki page/section
  • 2023/8/22: PF will create Montreal Jira ticket to document security architecture and assurance.

Vulnerability Mitigation

Vulnerabilities Critical Fixed

...

...

  • 2023/8/22: PF review the hotspot in policy-common and policy-pap to determine if they are false positives.
  • 2023/8/22: SECCOM will investigate disabling false positives in sonarcloud.



Vulnerabilities Fixed 60 Days

Are all vulnerabilities that are reported against your project, either through an OJSI ticket or publicly from CVE reports, fixed within two months of being reported?

...

Your Answer-Please ExplainSECCOM Feedback / Recommendations

We try to keep up to date on fixing vulnerabilities reported on IQ Nexus, except when dependency updates break the current code and a study is necessary to mitigate functionalities not working.

?

And sonar cloud?

  • sonar cloud is also checked, the team has sonar cloud configured with IDEs.

policy-pap has a high severity security item reported in sonarcloud for >1 year

  • see answer above.


How are OJSIs dealt with?

  • 2023/8/22: PF will document response process for unplanned security issues that have to be fixed outside of the normal release cycle.


Non-Cryptographic Software Questions

...

Your Answer-Please ExplainSECCOM Feedback / Recommendations

No UI

No encryption, as data processed by PF hasn't been tagged as sensitive.

The application uses Swagger for RESTful API, wherein it is set that Authorization headers are required for accessing API documentation.

When PF runs with docker, the services use usernames and passwords that are stored as environment variables.

For helm deployments PF uses K8s secrets which are generated and stored as the application is deployed.

The user has the option to provide a username/password to the helm chart - in this case a kubernetes secret

will be generated by the chart and used for authentication. Alternatively, the user can provide a secret to the chart values - in this case, no secret

will be generated - the chart will just use the k8s secret provided by the user/deployer

?

  • Is https used? - no
  • Has the project migrated to the service mesh which provides https and RBAC - yes

Cryptographic-specific Software Questions

...

  • 2023/8/22: document security controls provided by service mesh and K8S: encryption in transit, authentication (policy enforcement, policy decision, and policy information point). PF designed to run in K8S with a service mesh providing security controls.


Cryptographic-specific Software Questions

The following questions all deal with cryptographic issues.

Crypto Call – Generic

...

?

How are UUIDs generated? (There are many bad ways.)

Your Answers-Please ExplainSECCOM Feedback / Recommendations

UUID random keys

  • using java native way of generation java.util.UUID

Crypto Weaknesses

Does your software depend on any cryptographic algorithms or modes that have known serious weaknesses?

...

Your Answer-Please ExplainSECCOM Feedback / Recommendations

Depends of user managing crypto their own passwords - passwords are configurable in application.yaml for Spring applications (api, pap and acm) and .json configuration files for others. The credentials provided in these files are used for authentication (no authorization dealt in any of PF components) to use any of the REST APIs provided by PF.

? Please expand on the use 2023/8/22: move information in "Your Answer" to the security documentation.

Please expand on the use of configurable usernames+passwords and what they allow.

2023/8/22: add password use and protection to security documentation. Determine if spring is doing authentication, authorization or both. If PF is storing passwords in order to call APIs, document the secure storage and access of the passwords.

2023/8/22: cryptography provided by K8S using secure algorithms and ciphers.

Crypto Working

Does your software depend on any cryptographic algorithms that are known to be broken?

...

Your Answer-Please ExplainSECCOM Feedback / Recommendations

UUID generator is being used, but for IDs, not for security concersconcerns.

Doesn't answer the question

2023/8/22: PF to document all uses of cryptographic algorithms within the PF application. UUID generation is not part of cryptography.

Crypto Keylength

Does your software generate any keys? If so, do they use any default key-lengths that are considered insecure?

...

Your Answers-Please ExplainSECCOM Feedback / Recommendations

No keys being generated for use and us in OOM, PF is part of service mesh to connect to other services.

UUID generated (using java native way) are for identifiers.
