puppetlabs/log4jscanner — version 0.4.0 Jan 14th 2022

log4jscanner

This module utilizes Google's log4jscanner tool to monitor your infrastructure for vulnerable jar files.

Description

This module can be used in two ways:

Run the log4jscanner::run_scan task on a node. A list of vulernable jars is printed in the task output.
Apply the log4jscanner class to any Linux or Windows nodes with a Puppet Agent. This will set up a scheduled task to scan for vulnerable jars once per day, and keeps a custom fact called 'log4jscanner' updated with the results.

Log4jscanner binaries

The binaries were compiled using Go version 1.17.5 and running go build from the google/log4jscanner repo at SHA edf4af1a38a2930c86fdd955da1719e3d649441c. log4jscanner_nix was compiled on Centos 7, log4jscanner.exe on Windows 2019, and log4jscanner_osx on 10.15.

Compiling your own binaries

If you'd like to compile your own binaries or add support for another platform, this is the rough workflow to follow. Feel free to contribute new platform support with a pull request to this repository.

Compile binaries and add them to the /files directory. Use the existing naming convention of log4jscanner_<platform>.
- If you're replacing a binary, ensure it's named exactly the same as the original.
Calculate the sha256 checksum for each binary with a command like sha256sum log4jscanner_nix.
Add the checksums to the appropriate places in the log4jscanner class in /manifests/init.pp.
- Add the appropriate conditional logic if you're adding new platform support.
If you're adding support for another platform, then create a platform specific task following the example of the log4jscanner::run_scan_osx task.

Setup

What log4jscanner affects

When the class is applied, the module provides an additional fact (log4jscanner). This also adds a cron job (Linux) or scheduled task (Windows) that defaults to running once per day.

On Linux systems, files are saved to /opt/puppetlabs/log4jscanner. On Windows, they are saved to C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\log4jscanner.

Usage

Manifest

Include the module:

include log4jscanner

Advanced usage:

class { 'log4jscanner':
  linux_directories => ['/opt', '/usr'],
  linux_skip_directories => ['/opt/puppetlabs'],
  cron_hour = 12,
  cron_minute = 30,
  windows_directories => ["C:"],
  windows_skip_directories => ["C:\\Windows\\Temp"],
  scheduled_task_every = 2,
}

In this example, all Linux nodes will scan the /opt and /usr directories, while skipping /opt/puppetlabs, and all Windows nodes will scan C: and skip the Windows temp directory. It will scan Linux nodes every day at 12:30 PM, and Windows nodes every other day.

Note that when using the class with OSX, you'll want to use the osx_directories and osx_skip parameters, and you'll likely need to change the scan_data_group to admin rather than root.

Task

Run a basic scan from the command line:

puppet task run log4jscanner::run_scan --nodes <nodes> directories=/opt,/var skip=/opt/puppetlabs

Note that for OSX, you'll want to run the log4jscanner::run_scan_osx task.

What are tasks?

Modules can contain tasks that take action outside of a desired state managed by Puppet. It’s perfect for troubleshooting or deploying one-off changes, distributing scripts to run across your infrastructure, or automating changes that need to happen in a particular order as part of an application deployment.

      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,

      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
