Foreman-OpenSCAP

Code Climate

This plug-in enables automated vulnerability assessment and compliance audit of Foreman based infrastructure.

  • Current features:
    • Centralized policy management
    • Set-up organization defined targeting (connect set of system, a policy and time schedule)
    • Set-up periodical audits
    • Search for not audited systems
    • Collect & achieve OpenSCAP audit results from your infrastructure
    • Display audit results
    • Search audit results
    • Search for non-compliant systems
  • Future features:
    • Comparison of audit results
    • Waive known issues (one-time waivers, re-occurring, waivers)
    • Ad-hoc audit of given machine
    • Support for PreupgradeAssistant evaluation
    • E-mail notifications

Usage

Basic Concepts

There are three basic concepts (entities) in OpenSCAP plug-in: SCAP Contents, Compliance Policies and ARF Reports.

SCAP Content represents SCAP DataStream XML file as defined by SCAP 1.2 standard. Datastream file contains implementation of compliance, configuration or security baselines. Users are advised to acquire examplary baseline by installing scap-security-guide package. DataStream file usualy contains multiple XCCDF Profiles. Each for different security target. The content of Datastream file can be inspected by oscap tool from openscap-scanner package.

# yum install -y scap-security-guide openscap-scanner
# oscap info /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel6-ds.xml
# oscap info /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml

Compliance Policy is highlevel concept of a baseline applied to the infrastructure. Compliance Policy is defined by user on web interface. User may assign following information to the Policy:

  • SCAP Content
  • XCCDF Profile from particular SCAP Content
  • Host Groups that should comply with the policy
  • Schedule - the period in which the audit shall occur

ARF Report is XML output of single scan occurance per single host. Asset Reporting File format is defined by SCAP 1.2 standard. Foreman plug-in stores the ARF Reports in database for later inspections.

User Interface

The most of the Foreman-OpenSCAP controls are located in the Compliance section under the Host menu. The section contains three items as described in previous section: SCAP Contents, Compliance Policies, ARF Reports.

Prerequisites before the first use

Make sure that

  1. smart_proxy_openscap and puppet-foreman_scap_client packages are installed on your proxies
  2. proxies have Foreman uri defined
# echo ':foreman_url: https://foreman17.local.lan' >> /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.yml
  1. foreman_scap_client puppet class is imported to your Foreman
  2. Go to Configure -> Puppet classes page
  3. Click Import button
  4. Select foreman_scap_client

Setting-up first compliance policy

  1. Log-in to Web Interface

  2. Create new SCAP Content

  3. Go to Hosts -> Compliance -> SCAP contents page

  4. Upload DataSteam file

  5. Create new Policy

  6. Go to Hosts -> Compliance -> Policies page

  7. Assign SCAP Content to Policy

  8. Select Profile from your SCAP Content

  9. Define periodic scan schedule

  10. Assign Hostgroups to the policy (hosts you want to audit should be assigned with one of the hostgroups)

  11. Select particular hosts for compliance audit

  12. Go to Hosts -> All hosts page

  13. Select hosts

  14. Use Select Action -> Assign Compliance Policy button

  15. Make sure the DataStream file is present on the clients' file system.

    At the moment, Foreman infrastructure is not able to serve a file to the clients. Hence, users are required to distribute their DataStrem file to each client. The expected location is defined at Compliance Policy -> Edit dialogue.

  16. Inspect the compliance results

  17. Go to Hosts -> Compliance -> Reports page

  18. Wait for ARF Reports to show-up

  19. Go to Hosts -> Compliance -> Policies page

  20. Click the policy link to view dashboard and trend

Installation

Development setup

  • set up Foreman for development, preferably using forklift
  • clone this repo 
      git clone https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_openscap.git
  • point foreman to your checkout 
    echo "gemspec :path => 'path/to/foreman_openscap'" >> foreman/bundler.d/Gemfile.local.rb
  • run bundler, migrations and seeds from foreman dir 
    cd foreman
bundle install
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed
  • start your Rails server, verify openscap plugin is present

Releasing

follow these steps:

  1. Bump the version.rb to desired number
  2. git commit -a -m "Version $number"
  3. rake release

the commit gets tagged with what it find in version.rb

if you have commit permissions, the commit and the tag gets pushed to origin remote

if you're the gem owner, gem is built and uploaded to rubygems.org
