GitHub vulnerability | Amy shared info: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/github-rotates-keys-to-mitigate-impact-of-credential-exposing-flaw/ We agreed that the ticket will be opened to LF IT to asess if ONAP is affected as we use GitHub for code storage: https://jira.linuxfoundation.org/plugins/servlet/desk/portal/4/SUPPORT-24007 | closed | Issue to be further tracked with LF IT at the TSC meeting. Jessica Gonzales Response to SUPPORT-24007: I brought this topic to my team. There is no specific action done internally. The owner permissions are never given to any community members. We have account user/pass that can access those permissions but are under 1pass passwords protection. We rotate these passwords whenever we hear about a password leak or when an admin leaves, we keep mindful of these passwords. Also, we have a separate CI internal account that has owner permissions to repos but not to the org and they are the only accounts responsible for triggering jobs. Additionally, we have the replication account which also has permissions at the repo level to replicate the code from Gerrit into GH. In general the org owner permissions are kept limited and never extended to the communities. We're extremely careful with how the credentials related to that get distributed. They're only in hiera encrtyped or on the Gerrit system configuration which is inaccessible to remote parties | |
ONESummit | The session agenda for ONE Summit 2024 has just been published - you can view it here. (Note, the keynotes will be announced later.) APRIL 29 – MAY 1, 2024 | IN-PERSON List of potential topics: Adding AI/ML security within SDLC. NIST document with threat models. Testing aspects whether model is working as supposed to. Maintaining open source lifecycle. | |||
IT-26130 Add Image signing in ONAP CI/CD Pipeline | Image signing for ONAP Docker Image was turned on. We still have permanent solution pending changes expected from re-evaluating of CI/CD workflow. LF IT will have All hand in workshop where they will discuss and propose GitHub actions architecture. @Muddasar Ahmed LF IT Dev Eng is meeting week of 1/22, they will report back proposed plan changes after this week's meeting. Hacathon type pf meeting was done with ideas brainstorming. We expect new process flow for releasing software and not losing SBOM and signing capabilities while reengineering pipeline. | closed ticket | @Muddasar Ahmed checked with Jess and Matt when and where workshop would take place. 1/22/24- this week. San Diego- Monday to Thursday hackathon to decide on the CI/CD pipeline. Expected update and decision from Jess and Matt 2nd week of February. | |
LFN AI/ML use cases | @Muddasar Ahmed presented the draft deck about LFN AI/ML use cases. Maggie shared link: https://www.nist.gov/itl/ai-risk-management-framework We need to have Ops feedback (NOC manager) on AI, what pain point could be solved by AI. Deck shared with Marian from Orange, feedback expected in first week of December. Under WG 11 in ORAN Alliance (doing standards for ORAN) - threat analysis will be done in the domain of AI security - OWASP TOP 10 - planned by March'24. Runtime influence under interest. Maggie shared the link: https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2023/11/26/cisa-and-uk-ncsc-unveil-joint-guidelines-secure-ai-system-development Feedback from Marian received to be discussed at the next SECCOM. China Mobile and Infosys would like to work on use cases. First call done yesterday, agreed on a model to move forward. Intent Based Mode would use Generative AI. 3 layers approach: business layer, services layer, domain layer. Each Intent Manager would have its own AI. Generic model would be used: business language into ONAP consummable, for services more data oriented and finally domain oriented. We do not focus on 5G only architecture but rather on any so could be used by any organization. Topic is in forming group. China Mobile and Infosys interested in Intent context. China Telecom is also interested with focused on user input and Intent. @Muddasar Ahmed @Byung-Woo Jun Maggie update China Telecom: New Delhi - data service. CCVPN use cases - LLM does not give enough intelligence. Develop domain specific model to generate more intelligent decisions. China Mobile & Infosys: Intent based networking - Level 3 autonomy. Infosys is consulting with MNOs and has experience developing small AI-based autonomous loops. New Delhi release: CM/Infosys will deliver LLM for Intent based networking. Intelligent decision making. Post New Delhi will evaluate if the two tracks can leverage each other. UUI is impacted system for both tracks. No impact to other components NSA/Georgia Tech: AI/ML for security. Collecting and tagging security data to correlate the data. @Amy Zwarico provided reference to NIST AI 100-2e2023 Adversarial Machine Learning: A Taxonomy and Terminology of Attacks and Mitigations Call this week booked. AI/ML use cases focus group still works on platform and use cases priorities. CCVPN use case and intent based networking. China Mobile and Infosys starting work on that in more downstream. ORAN WG11 is working on security aspects. WG2 (non-real-time RIC) and WG3 (near-real-time RIC) are working on xApps and rApps (AI/ML capabilities). | |||
Nephio security working group | @Byung-Woo Jun informed SECCOM that the Nephio security WG is holding a joint meeting with the LF security SIG today at 11AM ET. Nephio plans to adopt 80% of OSSF passing badge. Topic further discussed: It was noted that the passing badge should be straight-forward to achieve. The web page tlhansen.us/badging was discussed. Click on “Single Project…” then fill in a search string or badging ID (e.g. "nephio" or "7665"). For Nephio, Tony recommends to sort by “Type+Section” Nephio SIG Security meeting: By: Lucy Hyde When: Tuesday, October 31st, 2023 8:00am to 9:00am (UTC-07:00) Pacific Time - Los Angeles Repeats: Weekly on Tuesday Location: https://zoom.us/j/96025994457 We could support Nephio by sharing our best practices and processes in place. Lucy OOO for the next few weeks? Byung introduced Tony's tool and was positively perceived by Nephio team. Nephio has GUI and talked about UI: AuthN and AuthZ to be shared by Byung. Nephio Sig meeting last week: https://nephio.slack.com/files/U0503L9UA8N/F065V0AAZRQ/sig-security_action_items.pdf?origin_team=T03LMAUL4HH&origin_channel=D065DKWJJ9X No update - info collection ongoing. Byung will join SIG group. Secrets and Service Mesh @Byung-Woo Jun many above items are done. Not sure about LF Security and SIG Security joint meeting Nephio SIG Security discussion topics are:
@Byung-Woo Jun Discussing R3 release.
@Byung-Woo Jun The following proposals are under review at Nephio SIG Security Nephio Secrets management user story proposal, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ce_cR7afovjWsdECkV8kNbPreG5GirfJXP5IrSiABjg/edit?usp=sharing Service Mesh Requirements, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UtW20GLTbICTUQyeC1Kx6aDnHlf4EqdhmeD29vsHSEM/edit?usp=sharing Identity and Access Management Requirements proposal, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qxGZI-HwTA0DfUO_hXKlkEpFzTNcmbDd6IO-CO7mLYo/edit?usp=sharing Package validation user story proposal, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YeyUZUPFCS4bBgh8ShWVPrGs9HMLtrhwFSIDC6Xl3xc/edit?usp=sharing Package validation under preparation. | |||
ONAP Security Implementation Status | @Byung-Woo Jun TATA Communications supports RBAC, observability, logging, backup, etc. by leveraging the ONAP currently security mechanism (Ingress, Service Mesh) for their own platform. It is possible they contribute the enhancements they made to the ONAP New Delhi release (TBD). Share of code most probably in Oslo release. | |||
Container Signing | Review next steps: -select signing software (SECCOM + LFIT) -perform POC with friendly projects (ONAP) -integrate into build process (LFIT) Looking for a volunteering project to work with us. raised at the 18th September PTL's call but no volunteer so far. LF IT would have to prioritized topic. Prioritization is possible with LFN, Muddasar to update ticket. Item discussed with Matt at the lasy PTLs call. Still in evaluation stage, Sigstore under evaluation. Last PTL's meeting LF IT is going to switch from Sig-Util to Sigstore. Timeline not clear - for image/container signing should be relatively fast. For code signing to be elaborated. We would like to have activities around manual signing. We want Sigstore implementation ready to go by New Delhi release. @Muddasar Ahmed Waiting for the LFIT CI/CD decision. | @Muddasar Ahmed to analyze which ONAP project has the most frequent changes in its containers. Muddasar reached out to LF-IT, Jess and her team are analyzing what enhancement has to be made with CI jobs to allow for Container signing. Further updates will be provided when scope and efforts have been assessed. https://jira.linuxfoundation.org/plugins/servlet/desk/portal/2/IT-26130 Topic to be proposed by Pawel to elaborated at upcoming TSC meeting. | ||
No PTL for AAI, DCAE, OOF | -Andreas Geissler and Thomas Kulik made committers -They will do the work necessary for the projects to participate in the release -TSC approved streamlining process (7 September) -SECCOM will create package upgrade recommendations -TSC will recruit resources to perform upgrades for AAI, DCAE, OOF
Kenny's reply is that we could benefit from Mentorship program. We have to define job description and skills needed. @Byung-Woo Jun New Delhi - VFC, SDC PTLs stepped down. @Byung-Woo Jun temporarily handling the Release Manager role. | -Byung will discuss with Andreas and Thomas to coordinate release tasks such as backlog prioritization -Muddasar: someone needs to take backlog management role -Muddasar: no mandated best practice to manage technical debt; call for a statement about code quality – all code will be secure -Muddasar & Amy: bring mandate for code quality to LFN TAC 2023/8/16
