stackrox/stackrox 4.3.0-rc.4

on GitHub

Added Features

• ROX-18525, ROX-19158: A new cluster flag has been added to the roxctl commands and APIs that perform image scans, this enables delegating scans to specific secured clusters on demand.
• ROX-19156: Ad-hoc image scanning is now enabled for images in the OCP integrated registry.
  • RHACS attempts to infer the OCP project name from the image path and utilize the project secrets for registry authentication.
• ROX-19561: Few new environment variables have been introduced in Central. They can be used to rate limit requests and Sensor communications.
  • ROX_CENTRAL_MAX_INIT_SYNC_SENSORS functions as a restriction on the quantity of Sensors engaged in their initial synchronization process. It is set to a default value 0 (unlimited).
    This synchronization occurs once Sensor establishes a connection with Central. It is recommended to set this limit when a significant number of secured clusters are connected to a single Central instance to avoid resource exhaustion.
  • ROX_CENTRAL_RATE_LIMIT_PER_SECOND setting functions as a global rate limiter for all requests directed to Central. It is set to a default value 0 (unlimited).
    The primary objective of this configuration is to serve as a protective measure against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on Central.
  • ROX_CENTRAL_RATE_LIMIT_THROTTLE_DURATION setting allows you to specify the maximum throttle duration when the rate limit is reached. If set to less than 1 second (or 0), requests are immediately rejected. The default value is 10s (10 seconds).

Removed Features

• ROX-9510: As announced in release 69.0, empty value for role.access_scope_id is not supported anymore for CreateRole and UpdateRole in /v1/roles/. Role creation and update now require passing an identifier referencing a valid access scope in role.access_scope_id.
• The UI menu option Vulnerability Reporting under Vulnerability Management (1.0) has been removed. The new and improved v2 version is available under Vulnerability Management (2.0).
• The /v1/report APIs have been removed. Please use /v2/reports/ APIs.

Deprecated Features

• The UI menu option Vulnerability Management (1.0) has been deprecated and will be removed in the future. It will be replaced by Vulnerability Management (2.0).
• The /v1/cve/requests APIs have been deprecated and will be replaced by /v2/vulnerability-exceptions/ APIs in the future.
• Vulnerability deferral management for host(/node) and platform(/cluster) vulnerabilities has been deprecated and
  will be removed in the future. Once removed, deferral cannot be created for host and platform vulnerabilities
  and the existing exceptions enforced on host and platform vulnerabilities will be reverted. The affected APIs are
  /v1/nodecves/suppress, /v1/nodecves/unsuppress, /v1/clustercves/suppress, and /v1/clustercves/unsuppress.

Technical Changes

• Increased minimum Node.js version to 18.0.0 because 16 reached end of life. This change affects yarn commands in the ui folder.
• ROX-19738: Previously categories passed to the detection service's APIs v1/detect/build, v1/detect/deploy, v1/detect/deploy/yaml
  have been always lower-cased by the backend. However, this is not the case anymore to support custom categories, which
  are required to be title-cased.
• ROX-14701: Starting from 4.3.0 release, roxctl binaries for ppc64le and s390x architectures are available for download from https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/rhacs/assets/<version>/Linux/roxctl-<ppc64le|s390x> (e.g. https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/rhacs/assets/4.3.0/Linux/roxctl-s390x).
• The experimental API /v1/product/usage has been renamed to /v1/administration/usage.
• ROX-19566: The results of registry TLS checks made by Sensor are now cached (for 15 minutes by default, which can be changed by setting the ROX_SENSOR_REGISTRY_TLS_CHECK_CACHE_TTL environment variable). This will result in faster Sensor startup times in clusters with a large number of pull secrets.
• Risk reprocessing has been shifted from being potentially computed every 15 seconds to 10 minutes. This will improve system performance by debouncing expensive risk calculations.
• ROX-20303: Fixed a bug that may have incorrectly matched an image to an image integration during scanning.
• ROX:20288: A new environment variable ROX_AUDIT_LOG_WITHOUT_PERMISSIONS has been added to Central (defaults to false).
  When set to true, audit log messages will not contain the detailed permissions of the user associated with the request.
  Instead, only the associated role names will be there. Enabling this will lower the verbosity of the audit log messages,
  but investigating associated permissions for a requester might be harder (i.e. the associated role would have be known at the time of the request).
  Thus, it is generally not recommended to set this to true.
• ROX-18978: The default policy "Iptables Executed in Privileged Container" has been renamed to "Iptables or nftables Executed in Privileged Container" and now also detects the nft process which is used by nftables.
