Security Notes

Fixed Security Issues

NBI has been improved to reduce signs of vulnerabilities, especially by migrating from Springboot 1.x to Springboot 2 and using ONAP Parent pom.xml

Known Security Issues

  • OJSI-136 - In default deployment EXTAPI (nbi) exposes HTTP port 30274 outside of cluster.

    NBI exposes non TLS API endpoint on port 30274, meaning full plain text exchange with NBI API. TLS configuration, with ONAP Root CA signed certificate will be proposed in El Alto.

    As a workaround it is quite easy to add HTTPS support to NBI by configuring SSL and activating strict https. Presuming you have a valid JKS keystore, with private key and a signed certificate:

    src/main/resources/application.properties

    # tls/ssl
server.ssl.key-store-type=JKS
server.ssl.key-store=classpath:certificate/yourkeystore.jks
server.ssl.key-store-password=password
server.ssl.key-alias=youralias

# disable http and activate https
security.require-ssl=true
