Extending Ramsons support period until 2026-03-31 has been proposed in Tri-Council meeting today.
Secuity group suggests to not extend the support period because Spring based modules are out of support, unless all Spring base modules get updated to a supported Spring version.

Bug Bounty Email
@Craig McNally
Name: Email: yaseen17money@hotmail.com Message: Hi Team, I’m Ghulam Yaseen, a security researcher. I wanted to ask if you offer a paid bug bounty program or any rewards for responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities. If so, could you please share the details.
Craig has sent a response today, I came back as not deliverable.
Action: Security team to review @Jens Heinrich's slack posts wrt guidance for Thunderjet
Today:
@Craig McNally to ask around for an env hooked up to LDP/MetaDB so we can experiment and try to identify any other security issues in mod-reporting/ui-ldp wrt error responses (stack traces, unsafe HTML, etc.)
This functionality is usually tested in a snapshot env, though it isn't clear which one.
Bugfest envs are NOT usually hooked up to LDP/MetaDB
Craig will continue to try to find an answer... look at testrails to see who is doing this testing and ask them where they are testing it?
What exactly do we need?
An env hooked up to LDP/MetaDB so we can try to reproduce the problem in the frontend. If we can, we need to file additional bugs against ui-ldp.
This is lower priority, but we should still investigate if we can.

Jira Group and Security Level review
Team
From Craig in slack:
I've been in communication with David Crossley, Wayne Schneider, John Malconian and Peter Murray about the issue above. They apparently didn't have access to these embargoed issues (SysOps and Core Team). Peter shared this screenshot with me, which doesn't look right. I'd like to review this at one of our meetings and come up with a list of changes/improvements for Peter to make. A few ideas off the top of my head:
Add descriptions to each of the security groups, like we have for "FOLIO Security Group"
Maybe add a new security group and level for FOLIO devops
Review membership of each of these groups and remove users no longer on the project
Review the Security Level -> Group mappings. Some of these don't look quite right to me.
If it makes this easier, we could invite Peter to a meeting so we can see the groups/levels interactively and makes adjustments as we go
Not exactly this, but related...
Issues submitted to the SECURITY JIRA project should automatically be embargoed (Security Level = Folio Security Group)
The submitter of issues to the SECURITY JIRA project should be able to view issues they submit, regardless of their Security Level
Email notification sent to the Folio Security Group when an issue is created in the SECURITY Jira project.
Action: @Craig McNally to setup a meeting with Peter and representatives from the Security Team to work through these things after WOLFcon?
We need to look into how security level configuration works to gain a better understanding of why it behaves the way it does.
Why do we have All Folio Developers in the "Sys Ops and Core Team" security level?
Today:
(Craig) no progress due to lack of time to spend on this. Does someone else have time to work through this with Peter?
Time permitting
Advice for handling of sensitive banking information
Team
From slack conversation, I think I've gathered the following:
In this case (bank account and transit numbers), the information is highly sensitive.
Highly sensitive information should:
Be stored in it's own table
Accessed via a dedicated API
Protected by a dedicated permission
Encrypted in the database, not only on disk.
This could mean either:
Explicitly encrypting/decrypting in the application layer and storing the encrypted data in postgres
Let's review and discuss before providing this feedback to Raman.
@Axel Dörrer also suggested that defining classes of sensitivity could help teams determine which techniques are applicable in various situations. I agree having some general guidelines on this would be helpful.
regular data
low sensitive - permission based on same API
high sensitive - permission based on dedicated API
It would probably help to provide concrete examples of data in each class. This can be a longer term effort, we don't need to sort out all the details today.
Next Steps:
Clearly define/formalize the various classes
Come up with concrete examples of each class
Build out guidance
Come up with concrete examples of how to protect each class of data.
Consider storing some classes of data outside of postgres altogether - e.g. in secret storage.
What would be the guidance we provide to teams for this so we don't end up with each team doing things differently?
SecretStore interface and existing implementations are currently only read-only. They would need to be extended to allow for creation/mgmt of this information.
Craig to start a conversation in slack about this.
Seeking a volunteer to generate a draft document for us to review at a later meeting.
Today:
@Axel Dörrer to do a first draft as a base for further discussions
Status on pentesting works within Network traffic control group
@Axel Dörrer
Due to some absences on different reasons the group stalled. Axel will try to reactivate the group.
