Introduction

The WhiteSource for GitHub Enterprise is a GitHub Enterprise app, scanning your repositories, as part of your WhiteSource account. It  It is an integrated product within GitHub Enterprise that shows a high-level security overview in the GitHub Enterprise repository, detects all open source components and displays all vulnerabilities for these components.

It provides you with information on vulnerable and outdated open source components and generates comprehensive up-to-date reports on the GitHub Enterprise Issues tab of the scanned repository. In addition, you will be able to view the scanned repositories in the WhiteSource portal.

WhiteSource for GitHub Enterprise is part of WhiteSource for DevelopersDeveloper Integrations and includes automated fix Pull Requests as well as Automated Dependency Updates (as part of WhiteSource Renovate) with with WhiteSource Remediate.

Prerequisites

The following requirements must be accommodated before installing the WhiteSource server software.

• Access to a working WhiteSource Application and a user with Admin privileges.

• The deployment includes two environments:

  • Build environment where the image is built.

  • Deployment environment where the image is deployed.

Build Environment

The Build Environment has the following requirements:

Hardware Requirements

• CPU: Dual Core, 2Ghz or higher (Intel or AMD)

• RAM: 16GB

• Storage: 16 GB

Environment Requirements

• An internet connection for the entire duration of the build procedure.

• When using a Container Orchestration Platform (i.e Kubernetes, ECS, Rancher etc.), please make sure you have logs collection in place: ELK, Splunk or similar. If you are not using

  an Orchestration

  an Orchestration platform for the containers, the logs will be collected in designated folders. 

• A user with admin privileges: If the operating system is Windows, then you must have administrative privileges. If the operating system is Linux, then you must have root privileges.

• Docker server version 18 and above. You can verify the Docker version by entering the following:

docker -–version

• Software and files delivered by WhiteSource:

  • WhiteSource

    Docker distribution

    Docker distribution artifacts that are delivered as a tar.gz or zip file (For example, agent-4-github-enterprise-19.4.2.tar.gz  or agent-4-github-enterprise-19.4.2.zip).

  • You can obtain these files from WhiteSource Support. 

Target Environment

The relevant WhiteSource Docker images are installed on the target environment. This environment requires the following:

Hardware Requirements

• CPU: Dual Core, 2Ghz or higher (Intel or AMD)

• RAM: 16GB

• Storage: 16 GB

Environment Requirements

• A user with admin privileges: If the operating system is Windows, then you must have administrative privileges. If the operating system is Linux, then you must have root privileges.

• Port 5678 must be open at all times. This port will be used to receive webhooks from the GitHub Enterprise Server.

• Access to the WhiteSource Application is required at times for operation of the WhiteSource for GitHub Enterprise.

• If a proxy server is available, then the following proxy settings need to be obtained:

  • URL

  • Port number

  • Username and password (for authenticated access)

• A valid SSL certificate and KeyStore containing the certificate.

User Steps on Build Machine

Prepare for Installation

Download the ‘tar.gz’ file (‘agent-4-github-enterprise-<version>.tar.gz’) for Linux or 'zip' file Windows (‘agent-4-github-enterprise-<version>.zip’)

Installation and Configuration

In Windows, extract 'agent-4-github-enterprise-<version><version>.zip’ to an empty directory. In Linux, extract ‘agent-4-github-enterprise<version>.tar.gz’ to an empty directory.  
The extraction creates the following folders:

• ‘wss

  wss-

  configuration’

  configuration: UI Configuration tool and related configuration file template

• '

  wss-deployment

  '

  : Deployment template (for example, deploying the integration using Helm charts)

• ‘wss

  wss-ghe-

  app’

  app: WhiteSource GitHub Enterprise server application

• '

  wss-remediate

  '

  : WhiteSource Remediate worker

• ‘wss

  wss-

  scanner’

  scanner: WhiteSource GitHub Enterprise repository scanner

• ‘build

  build.

  sh’

  sh/

  ’build

  build.

  bat’

  bat (Linux/Windows): The build script that will build the relevant Docker images.

Modifying the Scanner Dockerfile 

See here See here for more information on which package managers are part of the scanner image as well as how to add additional package managers.

Build and Tag the Docker Images

There are three different ways of building the Docker images.

1. Using an Executable Script File

The suggested way to build all the Docker images is by running the 'build.bat' or 'build.sh' executable script file (Windows/Linux).
Both files are located in the root of the extracted agent-4-github-enterprise-<version><version>.zip or agentor agent-4-github-enterprise-<version><version>.tar.gz files.For

Windows

...

1. Run

...

1. build.bat

...

1. file which is located in the main folder where you extracted the

...

1. agent-4-github-enterprise

...

1. zip file.

2. In order to ensure that the build succeeded, run

...

1. docker images

...

1. command and check

...

1. if wss-ghe-app

...

1. and

...

1. wss-scanner

...

1. and

...

1. wss-remediate

...

1. images were created.

...

Linux

...

1. Run

...

1. the build.sh

...

1. file

...

1. , located in the main folder where you extracted the

...

1. agent-4-github-enterprise

...

1. tar.gz file.

2. In order to ensure that the build succeeded, run

...

1. the docker images

...

1. command and check

...

1. if wss-ghe-app

...

1. and

...

1. wss-scanner

...

1. and

...

1. wss-remediate

...

1. images were created.

2. Manually Build the Images

In case you want to run the steps of the ' build ' file manually, you can run the following commands directly:

IMPORTANT: (if If you have already run the ' build ' file, please skip these steps and continue to 'Target machine: Run the Images' step).

docker build -t wss-ghe-app:<version> wss-ghe-app/docker
docker build -t wss-scanner:<version> wss-scanner/docker
docker build -t wss-remediate:<version> wss-remediate/docker

# For example:
docker build -t wss-ghe-app:19.5.2 wss-ghe-app/docker
docker build -t wss-scanner:19.5.2 wss-scanner/docker
docker build -t wss-remediate:19.5.2 wss-scanner/docker
docker build .5.2 wss-remediate/docker

NOTE: From version 21.5.1, the Remediate Dockerfile supports both Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04-compatible images. The base image can be changed using the BASE_IMAGE build argument. e.g.

docker build --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=ubuntu:18.04 -t wss-remediate:1921.5.21 wss-remediate/docker

3. Using a Docker Registry

If you are using a private Docker Registrythen , run the following commands to push the images into your registry:

docker push <registry>/wss-scanner:<version>
docker push <registry>/wss-scanner:<version>
docker push <registry>/wss-remediate:<version>

# For example:
docker push my-registry/wss-scanner:19.5.2
docker push my-registry/wss-scanner:19.5.2
docker push my-registry/wss-remediate:19.5.2

After executing the commands, you should be able to view the images in your registry.

Details on Attributes of the Configuration File

Target Machine: Run the Containers

Deploying Using Docker

On the target environment, create a directory (e.g., ‘<path/to/config/dir>’) and add to it the the configuration properties JSON file (prop.json) that you previously edited and exported using the Configuration Editor.
Then, you will need to create a network bridge and run the following Docker containers by using Docker or Kubernetes.

Create a network bridge (this will create a private network between the different containers, since all containers need to run within the same network):

docker network create -d bridge my_bridge

Run the 'wss-ghe-app' app container:

docker run --name wss-ghe-app --network my_bridge -p 9494:9494 -p 5678:5678 -v <path/to/config/directory>:/etc/usr/local/whitesource/conf wss-ghe-app:<version>

# For example:
docker run --name wss-ghe-app --network my_bridge -p 9494:9494 -p 5678:5678 -v c:/tmp/ghe/:/etc/usr/local/whitesource/conf/ wss-ghe-app:19.5.2

Run the ‘wss-scanner’ scanner container:

docker run --name wss-scanner-ghe --restart=always --network my_bridge -p 9393:9393 -v <path/to/config/directory>:/etc/usr/local/whitesource/conf/ wss-scanner:<version>

# For example:
docker run --name wss-scanner-ghe --restart=always --network my_bridge -p 9393:9393 -v c:/tmp/ghe/:/etc/usr/local/whitesource/conf/ wss-scanner:19.5.2

...

docker run --name remediate-server --network my_bridge -e LOG_LEVEL=debug -p 8080:8080 -v <path/to/config/directory>/prop.json:/etc/usr/local/whitesource/conf/prop.json -v /tmp:/tmp wss-remediate:<version>

# For example:
docker run --name remediate-server --network my_bridge -e LOG_LEVEL=debug -p 8080:8080 -v c:/tmp/ghe/prop.json:/etc/usr/local/whitesource/conf/prop.json -v /tmp:/tmp wss-remediate:19.5.2

Deploying Using Helm Charts

The wss-deployment folder consists of the following structure:

• helm

  • configs

  • templates

    • config.yaml

    • wssScmIntegration.yaml

  • Chart.yaml

  • values.yaml

Copy the helm folder from wss-deployment to your target environment. Inside the helm/configs folder, add the  add the configuration properties JSON file (prop.json) that you previously edited and exported using the Configuration Editor.

Chart.yaml

This file contains information about the chart.

NOTE: Do not edit this file.

Values.yaml

This file represents the WhiteSource integration image names and versions.

wsscanner:

...

  image: {image}

...

  version: {version}

...

wsscontroller:

...

  image: {image}

...

  version: {version}

...

wssremediate:

...

  image: {image}

...

  version: {version}

For each image declaration (wssscanner, wsscontroller, wssremediate), replace {image} and {version} with the actual built image name and version.  NOTE: For wsscontroller, use the name and version of the wss-ghe-app image.

An optional parameter, imagePullSecrets imagePullSecrets, can be added to this file in case Docker repository authentication is required.

configs/prop.json

In the helm folder, create a new folder named configs, and  and add to it the the configuration properties JSON file (prop.json) that you previously edited and exported using the Configuration Editor.

templates/config.yaml

This is a configuration file pointing to the configs/prop.json file.

NOTE: Do not edit this file.

templates/wssScmIntegration.yaml

This is a configuration file containing all the parameters for deploying the integration.

NOTE: In this file, there there are 3 dashes ("- - - ") that separate the services  Do not remove them.

In order for the webhook URL to be accessible publicly by the integration, a load balancer service must be added to the file. An example of such a service is provided below:

apiVersion: v1

...

kind: Service

...

metadata:

...

  name: lb1

...

  namespace: acme

...

  annotations:

...

    external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: helm.acme.io

...

    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-backend-protocol: http

  ports:

...

  - port: 443

...

    name: https

...

    targetPort: 5678

...

  selector:

...

    app: wss-controller

Provide GitHub App Webhook URL

At this stage you should replace the temporary webhook URL with the permanent webhook URL. 

1. Edit the App settings.
   

   1. Enter the webhook URL in the following format:
      http://<docker-wss-ghe-app-destinationURL>:5678/payload.

   2. Click on the 'Save Changes' button.

Select Accounts and Repositories

1. Copy and navigate to the "public link" of the created app and click the Configure button.

2. Select Accounts to scan.

3. If you are integrating multiple repositories and want to apply global configurations, refer here before continuing in this procedure.

4. Select repositories to scan in each selected account.

    Select

    Select one of the following options:

   1. All Repositories (Default): An option to scan all the repositories of the account.

   2. Selected repositories only: Select specific repositories that you would like to scan.

5. Click Save. Unless specified otherwise via the global configuration, an onboarding pull request is created for the selected repositories. This request contains a WhiteSource configuration file (.whitesource) that can be customized before merging the pull request. Once the pull request is merged, a WhiteSource scan will be initiated.

The .whitesource File

A WhiteSource configuration file (.whitesource) is a JSON file added to each repository that is enabled for a scan. It provides configurable parameters for the WhiteSource scan. The .whitesource file is only added in the default branch of the repository (unless modified, it is the master branch).

Providing a Global .whitesource Configuration File

NOTE: Supported from version 20.5.1.3 only

You can provide a custom .whitesource configuration file as part of the wss-ghe-app container, in order to apply it globally to all of your organization's repositories. Doing so will apply the file to all onboarding pull requests for newly-selected repos. Repos which were already selected and activated before this change will not be affected by this global configuration. Only newly onboarded repos will be affected. 

To apply this global change, do as follows:

1. Stop the wss-ghe-app container.

2. In the "wss-ghe-app/conf" folder, add your custom “.whitesource” file (where the prop.json file is located).

3. Start the  wss-ghe-app container.

Initiating a Scan

A WhiteSource scan is initiated via a valid GitHub push command . A valid push command meets  meets at least one of the following requirements:

• One of the commits in the push command added/removed a source file(s) that has an extension supported by WhiteSource.
  Refer to the WhiteSource Languages page in order to find out whether or not a specific language and its extensions are supported. 

• One of the commits in the push command includes an addition/modification of the package manager dependency file(s).
  Refer to the list of supported dependency files to find out whether your dependency files are supported.
  

NOTE: a push command

...

 may consist of multiple commits.

Viewing Details of the Scan

Results can be viewed in the following places:

• The Issues tab within the GitHub project.

• The WhiteSource Security/License/IaC Check within the GitHub project's Commits tab.

• The WhiteSource UI.

• Via email notifications.

Viewing the Issues Tab

If you are performing Pull Requests or push commands via the Web browser, refresh your Web browser in order to view the issues that were generated by WhiteSource. NOTE: It may take a number of minutes for the issues to be scanned and displayed after a valid push command is initiated.

...

Viewing Details of an Issue

See here for more information.

Viewing WhiteSource Security Checks

Status Check indicators are displayed for each head commit on the Commits sub-tab of the Code tab. Clicking a specific indicator opens a pop-up window that displays further details on the status:

Clicking the Details link in the popup window displays the WhiteSource Security Check page for the selected head commit. The page includes the conclusion status of the head commit along with a Security Report.

The security report displays all the vulnerabilities that were found in descending order according to the severity and CVSS score. The following information is displayed for each vulnerability:

• CVE: A link to the related CVE page for the vulnerability. Displayed in a collapsible format (click the arrow to expand/collapse for more information regarding the vulnerability).

• Severity: Overall score of the severity (High, Medium or Low).

• CVSSScore

• Vulnerable Library

• Suggested Fix 

• Issue - A link to the relevant issue generated by WhiteSource (when available)

Types of Indicators

The following Checks API status indicators are available as a feedback on the head commits:

• Queued:

   Scan

   Scan has not begun and is scheduled to begin.

  • In progress:

     Scan

     Scan is in progress.

  • Completed:

     Scan

     Scan completed with one of the following conclusions:

    • Success: When the parameter 'vulnerable.check.run.conclusion.level' is set to 'success', the status of the head commit is always success  A 'Success' status is displayed for the commit even when it fails.

    • Failure: Default for all completed scans.

       When

       When the parameter 'vulnerable.check.run.conclusion.level' is set to 'failure' (default), the status of a 'failed' head commit is 'failure', and a policy for approving merging pull requests that include failed head commits with

      the another

      the another branch in the

      repository is

      repository is enforced. Note that a 'failed' status can be caused due to security vulnerabilities or due to an error that occurred during the scan.

    • Neutral: Conclusion  Conclusion occurs when the push command was not valid.

...

The following is a sample of a 'Queued' status, which indicates that the security check is about to start scanning the head commit's vulnerabilities.Image Removed

...

In Progress

The following is a sample of an 'In-Progress' status, which indicates that the security check is currently scanning the head commit.Image Removed

...

Completed with Success Conclusion

This status can be displayed in two scenarios:

1. When the parameter 'vulnerable.check.run.conclusion.level' is set to 'success' or 'failure', and a 'success' status is provided for the scan, since no vulnerabilities were found and no errors occurred during the scan for this head commit. In this case, the merging of a pull request that includes this commit to another branch in the repository is automatically approved. 
   
   Image Modified
   
   

2. When the parameter 'vulnerable.check.run.conclusion.level' is set to 'success'. In this configuration, even a 'failed' status for a head commit's scan is converted to 'success'. In this case, the merging of a pull request that includes this head commit to another branch in the repository is automatically approved. 
   
   The following screenshot displays a 'success' indicator for a commit that includes an error that occurred during the scan, since the parameter 'vulnerable.check.run.conclusion.level' is set to 'success'. In this case, the merging of a pull request that includes this head commit to another branch in the repository is automatically approved. 
   
   Image Modified

Completed with Failure Conclusion

When the parameter 'vulnerable.check.run.conclusion.level' is set to ''failure', all head commits that fail the scan due to the security check or due to an error that occurred during the scan display a 'failure' status.  In this case, only the administrator of the repository can approve merging a pull request that includes this head commit to another branch in the repository, and therefore, it will not be automatically merged.

The following screenshot is a sample of the display in a pull request page when a 'failure' policy is enforced and one or more of its head commits have a 'failure' status. Only the administrator of the repository can approve the merging of a pull request with a 'failure' status:Image Removed

...

Completed with Neutral Conclusion

A neutral conclusion occurs in the following scenario:

• The push command was not valid. See the Initiating a Scan section for more information on valid commands.
  
  Image Modified

Viewing WhiteSource License Checks

In the Commits tab you can view the status and results of each scan. Click a specific build icon in order to view the Builds page.

Types of Indicators

The following commit status indicators are available as feedback on the head commits:

• Success: No license policy violations were detected. 

• Failed: One or more license policy violations were detected during the WhiteSource scan.

Viewing WhiteSource IaC Checks

In the Code > commits page you can view the status and results of each scan. Click a specific check icon in order to view the WhiteSource check.

Types of Indicators

The following commit status indicators are available as feedback on the head commits:

• Success: No license policy violations were detected. 

• Failed: One or more license policy violations were detected during the WhiteSource scan.

Viewing Details in the WhiteSource UI

• In the WhiteSource UI, WhiteSource projects will have the same name as the corresponding GitHub repository, with a "GH_" prefix, unless otherwise specified in the .whitesource file using a project token.

• The name of the WhiteSource product will be the same as that of the GitHub organization preceded by a "GH_" prefix if the GitHub repository is under a GitHub organization. Otherwise, the name will be your GitHub username preceded by "GH_".

...

After a WhiteSource scan is performed, a separate email message is sent for each generated Issue, with information on the vulnerability or license policy violation that was detected.

NOTE: The information in the email message is identical to the displayed information on the Issues tab.

Accessing Scan Statistics via API

...

Initiating a Merge Policy

Overview

A merge policy utilizes the app's integration with GitHub Checks API. It enables the repository's administrator to approve the merging of a pull request with 'Failed' commit statuses to a target branch target branch in the repository. 
For more information on Checks API, see the related GitHub Checks API introduction page.

NOTE: This integration supports merge policies for PRs created either from a branch in the same repository or originating from a different repository.

Adding a Branch Protection Rule 

In order to enable a merge policy based on the conclusion of a WhiteSource Security Check, you must initially add the following GitHub rule for branch protection:

1. Go to the repository 'Settings' → 'Branches'.

2. Click on the 'Add Rule' button.

3. Apply the rule to a specific branch or enter '*' to apply the rule to all branches:

4. Select the following checkboxes:

   1. 'Require status checks to pass before merging'.

   2. If you cannot view this setting, then modify the '.whitesource' file, and perform a commit. Wait for the scan to complete and then refresh the GitHub settings page until you can view this setting.

Upgrading to the Latest Docker Images

1. Get the latest WhiteSource for GitHub Enterprise version from WhiteSource Support.

2. Build these three Docker images from the new version - see here.
