Main

This project will document a set of best practices for managing component vulnerability at three main gateways.

Gateways of Component Vulnerability

When establishing a framework for Good Component Practices, there are three gateways at which a vulnerability may occur:

  1. Selection of the component and where it came from (provenance)
  2. Integration of the component into the development environment
  3. Integration and maintenance of the component within the production environment


We will look at each level of vulnerability and establish a series of best practices for managing the component usage at that level. The conclusion of the project will be a set of best practices for managing open source components as part of a larger application within an enterprise system.

Simplified Framework for Good Component Practices

Component Selection

  • Set standards and policy for component usage
    • Components must be actively maintained
    • Component projects must have a security contact and security announcement list
    • Component projects must use security tools and make the results public
    • Component projects must have a history of responding to security vulnerability reports in a timely manner
    • Component binaries must be generated directly from project source code using trusted tools
    • Components with known vulnerabilities must be removed or updated within 1 month of vulnerability announcement
  • Identify components needed

Integration into Development Environment

Integration and Maintenance within Production Environment

  • Scan runtime enviroment for libraries, frameworks and components
  • Monitor components for vulnerabilities
    • Use Maven “Versions” plugin to check which components are out of date
  • Update risky components

what is this project?
Name: OWASP Good Component Practices Project (home page)
Purpose: Good Component Practice is one of the most over looked silver bullets in the Open Source arsenal. Because of business pressure, we have found that companies are willing to risk using unverified open source components, trading off security for enhanced speed in development.

This project will use community input to document an industry acceptable process for the creation, maintenance and use of open source components.
