Subject: RE: [was] How is Test (Detect) progress ?
Dave Lets setup a module in the OWASP Sourceforge CVS ? Anyone who wants to add changes let us know and well add you to the CVS ACL. -----Original Message----- From: David Raphael [mailto:draphael@citadel.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 4:40 PM To: Mark Curphey; yuvalben@netvision.net.il Cc: was@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: RE: [was] How is Test (Detect) progress ? I would be happy to merge changes, but this could get out of hand rather quickly. Is there any way we can just use CVS? /d -----Original Message----- From: Mark Curphey [mailto:mark.curphey@foundstone.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 2:57 PM To: yuvalben@netvision.net.il Cc: was@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: RE: [was] How is Test (Detect) progress ? I believe Dave Raphael and Peter Michalek were updating the current schema. I know we also need to change the elements thesaurusEntry to match the vulnType etc. Dave / Peter ? -----Original Message----- From: Yuval Ben-Itzhak [mailto:yuvalben@netvision.net.il] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 3:49 PM To: Mark Curphey Subject: RE: [was] How is Test (Detect) progress ? Who is in charge of was-core0.3.xml ? In addition to the issue below I found few other Schema issues, shell I submit an corrected version or should the person in charge ? Example: <xs:attribute name="versionRevisionDateHistory" type="xs:dateTime" minOccurs="1"/> The tag 'attribute' does not support an attribute of 'minOccurs'. It should be remove, associated with the parent 'element' or structure differently to represent the "versionRevisionDateHistory" elements - if needed.

Hi, I'm trying to sync. was-core0.3.xml (a Schema) to VulnXML-1.4.dtd for the Detect project. It appears that although was-core0.3.xml is a valid XML document it is not a valid Schema. Check the following ComplexType: <xs:complexType> <xs:element name="thesaurusEntry" use="required"> <xs:attribute name="thesaurusGroupName" type="xs:string"/> <xs:attribute name="thesaurusSubGroupName" type="xs:string"/> <xs:attribute name="additionalInformation" type="xs:string"/> </xs:element> <xs:element name="vulnDatabase"> <xs:attribute name="databaseName" type="xs:string"/> <xs:attribute name="databaseLocation" type="xs:uri"/> <xs:attribute name="databaseRef" type="xs:string"/> </xs:element> <xs:element name="shortDescription" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="longDescription" type="xs:string"/> </xs:complexType> It looks to me that the complextype should include attributes and not elements (see other ComplexTypes in the Schema). An element is a parent 'element' of a complextype. I used an eval of XMLSPY and it alerts on the same issue. Here is a reference from MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/xmlsdk/htm/xsd_ref_9qpg.asp Any comments ? Yuval. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Curphey [mailto:mark.curphey@foundstone.com] Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 4:08 PM To: Rogan Dawes; yuvalben@netvision.net.il Cc: was@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: RE: [was] How is Test (Detect) progress ? See comments inline. I think we need to move towards putting this schema under version control. CVS OK with everyone ? That said I think you Test folks and Protect folks (Ivan) should develop a separate schema and we will integrate it later. This will ensure we get less merge conflicts etc. Maybe you can name it WAS-Detect-c.xsd, WAS-Protect-x.xsd ? You can upload it to the OASIS site as well for now until we get the CVS setup. Also I chatted to Ivan about Protect and wanted to facilitate a conference call to ensure we don't overlap and reuse as much as is possible.

The WAS-Core schema that Mark and co have been working on replaces the <TestDescription> element of VulnXML completely, I think. The section that we need to aim for with Test is the part of VulnXML that starts at <Variable>*, and continues with <Connection>+, where * indicates optional element, and + indicates one or more Connection elements.

If you have VS.NET its pretty decent or if you havent used SPY before you can get a 30 day trial. Also there are a number of good Java based editors now.

Just a reminder, because I'm not sure that Yuval and I are on the same page with regards to how/why VulnXML was designed: The intention with VulnXML was not to create "functions" that would automatically expand into a test for a SQL injection in one of almost infinite permutations. VulnXML was designed to document the exact steps that one would go through to replicate a test that has been done before. This is typical of tests for static vulnerabilities, much as Whisker and Nikto do. This is the problem that VulnXML was intended to solve, and the intention of WAS-XML as well. MC > Perfect WAS-XML is not intended to describe how to automatically compose multiple tests for a SQL injection on an arbitrary form (or XSS, or whatever). It is intended to facilitate the interchange of known vulnerabilities between tools. MC > Exactly. WAS 2.0 may though ! So, there are some aspects of the current VulnXML schema/dtd that would need to be refined, but we do not need to code explicit support for each of the categories mentioned in Mark's schema. If it can be expressed as an HTTP Request (request line, headers and body), and tested for in the HTTP Response (status line, headers or response body), we should be able to express anything we want to. MC > That's true. Remember WAS will have support to describe issues that maybe found in code by code scanners (issues that cant be found by black box scanners. It is the generic vuln description language that people can build business process around as well as taking feeds from technology and tools. We shouldn'y insist on a Detect or Protect signature for every vuln that would be descibed in Meta IMHO. However, as mentioned in previous mails, outstanding items that are *NOT* currently possible are multiple simultaneous requests for testing locking or synchronisation issues, and reliable/intelligent detection of custom 404 responses. These still need to be added to the Test elements of WAS-XML. > My current goal is # 1 > > Yuval. > Regards, Rogan To unsubscribe from this mailing list (and be removed from the roster of the OASIS TC), go to http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/was/members/leave_workgroup .php .
