Overview

We are surrounded by open source software. Not only the open source software all of us use, also many of the commercial applications contain open source libraries. Think of server and desktop software, but don't forget routers, cars, phones, open source is everywhere.

The OWASP Open Review Project (ORPRO) exists to act as a resource for open source projects and for the community in general. The goal is to provides facilities for both automated and manual review of open source applications and libraries - starting with OWASP projects but also serving all of the open source world.

Fortify Software has made their Source Code Analyzer (SCA) technology available to open source projects at owasp.fortify.com

Project Goals

  • Provide an independent security review of open source projects with a record of what has been reviewed and by whom in order to best communicate the security state of the open source projects. This will include both automated and manual review of source code as well as analysis of algorithms such as compression, crypto, etc
  • Provide resources to the community to centrally manage the review of open source projects
  • Engage in responsible disclosure of any security vulnerabilities discovered

Project Planning

  • Settle overlap between OWASP projects: August 2008 (completed)
  • Initial tool selection and implementation: September 2008 (completed)
  • Roll out automated review capabilities for a limited set of projects: September 2008
  • First reviews: October 2008

Open review process

The high level process is as follows:

  • Proposal
    • Proposals for open source projets to be reviewed can be sent to the ORPRO project lead
  • Entry criteria
    • Project lead checks entry criteria for open source projects
  • Team
    • Project lead assigns review project lead
    • Review project lead assign team of reviewers
  • Review
    • Review project is managed by Review project leader
    • Progress reports are published
    • Communication with developer project
    • Responsible disclosure of bugs/defects

News

  • 5 June 2008 OWASP ORPRO launched
  • 12 September 2008 owasp.fortify.com made available as a public beta for automated source code review of open source projects

Get involved

Security review takes both time and expertise. We need people with good secure coding skills in C, C++, .NET, Java, php, etc and that have the audacity to review some of the most popular open source projects around.

Please go to https://lists.owasp.org/mailman/listinfo/open-review-project to subscribe to the list. You can post to the ORPRO mailing list by emailing [email protected].
