Casablanca Portal Platform Security/Vulnerability Report

This table represents the known exploitable and non-exploitable vulnerabilities in third party packages used in the project.
High-level mitigation plan:
Regarding known issues like “DOS, Remote Code Execution (RCE), CORS attack, HTTP request smuggling”, the Portal’s code is not exposing these vulnerabilities directly due to many layers of encapsulation by APIs, so these are most likely false positives reported by NexusIQ scan, however to be on safe side the mitigation plan is to deploy Portal platform in a secure environment e.g. in private network inside the company firewall.
Repository | Group | Impact Analysis | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
portal | com.fasterxml.jackson.core | False positive. Analysis: This vulnerability is not exposed from the portal’s code, because
Spring version 4.2.3 will take care of this. Comments from Nexus-IQ: Spring Security has provided their own fix for this vulnerability (CVE-2017-4995). If this component is being used as part of Spring Security, then you are not vulnerable if you are running Spring Security 4.2.3.RELEASE or greater for 4.x or Spring Security 5.0.0.M2 or greater for 5.x. | Not vulnerable in ONAP |
portal | moments | All available versions of moment.js are vulnerable. Upgrade is not an option. Analysis: Not vulnerable as all our date fields are reformatted and validated before being submitted. See below CVE 185 information: The moment package is vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). The monthsShortRegex(),monthsRegex(),weekdaysRegex(),weekdaysShortRegex(), and weekdaysMinRegex() functions in the moment.js, moment-with-locales.js, and regex.js files use a vulnerable regular expression while parsing the date input. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a date input containing a very long sequence of repetitive characters which, when parsed, consumes available CPU resources and results in Denial Of Service. | Not vulnerable in ONAP |
portal, portal-sdk | angular | Analysis: Cannot upgrade angular as this will require changes on all the Portal pages. From our analysis the vulnerability cannot be exploited because the portal application follows the below design recommendations provided by nexus-iq report. Recommendation by nexus-iq for this vulnerability (SONATYPE-2016-0064): It's best to design your application in such a way that users cannot change client-side templates.
| Not vulnerable in ONAP |
portal | commons-beanutils | All available versions of common-beanutils are vulnerable. Upgrade is not an option. Analysis: The portal code do not use classloader so it is not vulnerable in ONAP. CVE CWE: 20 | Not vulnerable in ONAP |
portal-sdk | org.apache.poi | Analysis: Not vulnerable as we do not use POI to read documents. We use only to generate XLS from our own data. CVE CWE:399: Apache POI in versions prior to release 3.17 are vulnerable to Denial of Service Attacks: 1) Infinite Loops while parsing crafted WMF, EMF, MSG and macros (POI bugs 61338 and 61294), and 2) Out of Memory Exceptions while parsing crafted DOC, PPT and XLS (POI bugs 52372 and 61295). | Not vulnerable in ONAP |
portal, portal-sdk | org.springframework | The impact of the springframework library is all over the project. So have to be very careful in upgrading the versions. At least trying to resolve the multiple version use in Dublin - PORTAL-423: Align springframework version among all pomsClosed | Request exception |
portal-sdk | io.netty | Not clear what is the issue based on the Nexus IQ report information. | Request exception |
portal, portal-sdk | commons-fileupload | If not false positive, can be handled with the new version upgrade which do not have vulnerability. PORTAL-443: commons-fileuploadClosed Explanation Apache Commons FileUpload contains a resource leak which may lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. | Target fix in Dublin release |
portal-sdk | xerces | There is no non vulnerable version of this package. Explanation Apache Xerces2 is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. | Request exception |
portal-sdk | bootstrap | There is no non vulnerable version of this package. | Request exception |
portal, portal-sdk | org.bouncycastle | If not false positive, can be handled with the new version upgrade which do not have vulnerability. PORTAL-444: bouncy castleClosed Explanation Bouncy Castle is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). | we will try to handle them in Dublin release based on the resource availability and priority |
portal | org.codehaus.groovy | If not false positive, can be handled with the new version upgrade which do not have vulnerability. PORTAL-447: codehaus.groovyClosed Explanation Groovy is vulnerable to insecure deserialization leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE). | we will try to handle them in Dublin release based on the resource availability and priority |
portal | org.eclipse.jetty | If not false positive, can be handled with the new version upgrade which do not have vulnerability. Explanation Eclipse Jetty Server is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling. | we will try to handle them in Dublin release based on the resource availability and priority |
portal, portal-sdk | org.apache.lucene | Not used, this will be removed. | we will try to handle them in Dublin release |
portal | org.apache.tomcat.embed | There is no non vulnerable version of this component/package. PORTAL-449: tomcat.embeddedClosed Explanation Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to a Cross-Origin attack due to the insecure default configuration of the CORS filter. | Request exception |
portal | org.apache.cxf | False positive We do not use the below code, which is vulnerable. System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol"); | Not Vulnerable |
portal | org.hibernate | If not false positive, can be handled with the new version upgrade which do not have vulnerability. PORTAL-441: Hibernate validatorClosed Explanation The Hibernate Validator (HV) package is vulnerable to a privilege escalation vulnerability. | we will try to handle them in Dublin release based on the resource availability and priority |
