BSI CSAF Validator Lib

About The Project

This JavaScript library is intended to include logic that can be shared across application working with CSAF.

(back to top)

Getting Started

Add the library to your project by using one of the following methods. After that you can reference the modules from within your JavaScript application.

Using the official npm package

There is an official package in the npm registry.

You can add it to your project using the following command:

npm install @secvisogram/csaf-validator-lib

Using a git subtree

You can also include this library as a subtree in your repository.

  • include as git subtree

    git subtree add --prefix csaf-validator-lib https://github.com/secvisogram/csaf-validator-lib.git main --squash
  • install dependencies

    cd csaf-validator-lib && npm ci --prod
  • This repository includes git submodules. Make sure to initialize and update the submodules before you start working with the repository.

    git submodule update --init --recursive
  • For test 6.3.8 an installation of hunspell as well as all languages that you want to spell check is required.

Managing Hunspell languages

A CSAF Document can contain a language. For example, valid entries could be en or en-US. When running test 6.3.8 we try to match this language to the list of installed hunspell languages. If the region is specified (like in en-US) and the corresponding language is installed the test will run. If you want/need to check a en language specifically with en-US (or any other variant) you need to make sure that you link en to en-US using a symlink.

Example of linking en to en-US:

ln -s /usr/share/hunspell/en_US.aff /usr/share/hunspell/en.aff
ln -s /usr/share/hunspell/en_US.dic /usr/share/hunspell/en.dic

You can find out what languages you have installed by running hunspell -D.

If you need additional languages they are most likely available in the repository of your distribution. If you have a custom dictionary copy them in the directory provided by the command above. Hunspell should automatically recognize them.

How to use

  • example usage

    import validateStrict from '../csaf-validator-lib/validateStrict.js'
    import * as mandatory from '../csaf-validator-lib/mandatoryTests.js'
    import { optionalTest_6_2_1 } from '../csaf-validator-lib/optionalTests.js'
    import { csaf_2_0_strict } from './schemaTests.js'
    
    const document = {}
    const tests = [
      csaf_2_0_strict,
      ...Object.values(mandatory),
      optionalTest_6_2_1,
    ]
    
    const result = await validateStrict(tests, document)

Strict Mode

The library has two validate functions, validate and validateStrict. validateStrict checks whether the test that should be executed was defined in the library. Otherwise, it throws an error. To extend the library you can use the validate function instead. In such case, the calling function is responsible for checking whether the test function passed to the csaf-validator-lib is benign. Calling arbitrary functions (especially those resulting from user input) may result in a code execution vulnerability. Therefore, the check of the test function to determine whether it is benign MUST be done before calling it. To proceed this dangerous path, use the validate function.
