Hi,

Today in the security sub-committee we discussed some of the known 
vulnerabilities identified in Nexus IQ for the MSB project.  We went over the 
template that was filled in, that contains excellent detail of the analysis: 
https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=25439016.  We agreed that 
based on this, there is no security risk on the way that the project uses the 
external modules (based on the received analysis - here as the security 
sub-committee is not an expert in the code, we trust the analysis - and here 
the analysis contain very good details for the security sub-committee to review 
and have confidence in the analysis) for Beijing, hence no issue is identified 
for going forward with the release or using MSB in Beijing; at least from the 
security sub-committees recommendation.

We again discussed about changing the status in Nexus IQ and stated that is not 
recommended as it needs to re-evaluated in Casablanca to ensure that we don't 
change the way we use the modules and that the analysis remains the same.  
Removing the vulnerability mark in Nexus IQ opens up for the risk of not 
evaluating this in Casablanca.

We also stated that it would be a good practice to include in the security part 
of the Release Notes a comment relating to this; as well as link to the 
template containing the analysis.  This gives us full transparency.

I think this was a good exercise and the approach can be taken as a best 
practice.

BR,

Steve
