RetireNet.Runtimes.Middleware

We cannot detect the runtime of the app at build time, so to report use of vulnerable runtimes the app itself, the host itself can provide us reports

Install

$ dotnet add package RetireNet.Runtimes.Middleware

Usage

Add it to your ASP.NET Core pipeline on your preferred path:

app.Map("/report", a => a.UseRuntimeVulnerabilityReport());

What does it do?

It will fetch the releases listed in the official metadata API provided by Microsoft, and check if your app is running on a runtime with known CVEs.

Metadata endpoint used: https://dotnetcli.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet/release-metadata/releases-index.json

Sample output

An app running on the vulnerable 2.1.11 runtime on macOS:

{
    "isVulnerable": true,
    "appRuntimeDetails": {
        "os": "OSX",
        "osPlatform": "Darwin 18.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 18.6.0: Thu Apr 25 23:16:27 PDT 2019; root:xnu-4903.261.4~2/RELEASE_X86_64",

            }
        ]
    }
}

RetireNet.Runtimes.BackgroundServices

This is the same report as for the middleware, only logging it using the configured ILogger as a WARN log statment.

Install

$ dotnet add package RetireNet.Runtimes.BackgroundServices

Usage

Register it into the container, and provide it a interval in milliseconds how often you would like the check to execute.

services.AddRetireRuntimeHostedService(c => c.CheckInterval = 60000)

What does it do?

The same as for the middleware endpoint.

Sample output

An app running on the vulnerable 2.1.11 runtime on macOS, using the ConsoleLogger:

warn: RetireNet.Runtimes.BackgroundServices.RetireRuntimeBackgroundService[0]
      Running on vulnerable runtime 2.1.11. Security release 2.1.13
