Aamer: As part of the DATIM work, BAO is performing IBM AppScan vulnerability assessment and confirmation. The results of these assessments will be passed onto the development team for remediation. Due to the sensitive nature of security vulnerabilities, we will follow standard, responsible best practices regarding public disclosure. If critical, non-credentialed, remote vulnerabilities are discovered we will attempt to provide work-a-rounds until the devs can publish a remediated DHIS2 version.
This scanning will only involve DHIS2 core and apps that DATIM uses. We are currently scanning v2.21 but will be jumping to 2.23 very soon. This will be an ongoing, regular process. If you have any questions feel free to contact me any time. Gregory Wilson, CSSLP BAO Systems, Inc.
