Even if someone saves <script>alert(123);</script> in the database the returned result will be HTML escaped and will not be executed as JavaScript!

  Notes:

  This is easy to exploit but people able to do so should have accounts in your Kiwi TCMS installation and write privileges on their accounts. If they do this means they can cause a lot more damage much more easily!

Database

This release adds several migrations which alter the underlying database schema by renaming multiple columns.

WARNINGS:

• SQLite has very poor capabilities for altering schema and it will break when run with existing database! If you had deployed Kiwi TCMS with SQLite for production purposes you will not be able to upgrade! We recommend switching to Postgres first and then upgrading!

• docker-compose.yml has been updated from MariaDB 5.5 to MariaDB 10.3. The 10.x MariaDB containers change their datadir configuration from /var/lib/mysql to /var/lib/mysql/data! We recommend first upgrading your MariaDB version, using Kiwi TCMS 7.3 and afterwards upgrading to Kiwi TCMS 8.0:

  1. Backup existing database with:

     docker exec -it kiwi_db mysqldump -u kiwi -pYourPass kiwi > backup.sql
     

  2. docker-compose down

  3. docker volume rm kiwi_db_data - will remove existing data volume b/c of incompatibilities between different MariaDB versions

  4. docker-compose up - will recreate data volume with missing data. e.g. manage.py showmigrations will report that 0 migrations have been applied.

  5. Restore the data from backup:

     cat backup.sql | docker exec -u 0 -i kiwi_db /opt/rh/rh-mariadb103/root/usr/bin/mysql kiwi
     

     note: This connects to the database as the root user

  6. Proceed to upgrade your Kiwi TCMS container !

CHANGES:

• Remove model fields of type AutoField. They are a legacy construct and shouldn't be specified in the source code! Django knows how to add them dynamically. These are:
  • Tag.id
  • TestCaseStatus.id
  • Category.id
  • PlanType.id
  • TestExecutionStatus.id
• Remove db_column attribute from model fields
• Rename several primary key fields to id:
  • Build.build_id -> Build.id
  • TestRun.run_id -> TestRun.id
  • TestPlan.plan_id -> TestPlan.id
  • TestCase.case_id -> TestCase.id
  • TestExecution.case_run_id -> TestExecution.id

API

WARNING:

The database schema changes mentioned above affect multiple API methods in a backwards incompatible way! There is possibility that your API scripts will also be affected. You will have to adjust those to use the new field names where necessary!

CHANGES:

• Methods Build.create(), Build.filter() and Build.update() will return id instead of build_id field
• Method TestRun.get_cases() will return execution_id instead of case_run_id field and id instead of case_id field
• Methods TestRun.add_case(), TestExecution.create(), TestExecution.filter() and TestExecution.update() will return id instead of case_run_id field
• Methods TestRun.create(), TestRun.filter(), TestRun.update() will return id instead of run_id field
• Methods TestPlan.create(), TestPlan.filter() and TestPlan.update() will return id instead of plan_id field
• Methods TestCase.add_component(), TestCase.create(), TestCase.filter() and TestCase.update() will return id instead of case_id field

NOTES:

Security

• API method BugSystem.filter() has been removed (now unused) but it was possible to use this method to steal passwords or keys used for Issue Tracker integration. This vulnerability could be exploited by users logged into Kiwi TCMS and is classified as medium severity! We advise you to change your integration API keys and passwords immediately!

Improvements

• Make it possible to disable HTTPS by specifying the KIWI_DONT_ENFORCE_HTTPS environment variable! Fixes Issue #1036 (Marco Descher)
• Documentation updates, including internal style checker. Fixes Issue #1000 (Prome88)
• When linking a TestExecution to a defect and choosing to update the Issue Tracker Kiwi TCMS will not add a comment pointing back to TR ID/summary/URL and TE ID/summary. This provides more detailed information about the reproducer instead of just linking to a TestCase without any specific execution details like we did in the past
• Display additional defect information via Issue Tracker integration. On Patternfly pages which show defect URLs this is accessible via a small info icon. Fixes Issue #117
• Add minimalistic defect tracker functionality. Fixes Issue #699
  • integrated with Issue Tracker integration layer as if it was an external system
  • when adding hyperlink to TestExecition (also via API method TestExecution.add_link()) this is special cased and the references between Bug and TestExecution are always updated
  • when clicking 'Report bug' from inside Test Execution the new defect is reported automatically and a new browser window opens to display the information

Database migrations

• Tell the migration planner to apply testruns.0006_rename_test_case_run_to_test_execution after linkreference.0001_squashed. This enables subsequent migrations and new functionality to be applied without crashing.

  Warning

  Django should be able to handle this automatically both for existing installations and for new ones. In any case make sure you backup your data first and make a dry-run to verify that nothing breaks!

• Remove fields url_reg_exp, validate_reg_exp and description from BugSystem model

• Update the following fields in LinkReference model:

  • rename test_case_run to execution
  • add indexing for created_on and url
  • add is_defect field

• Apply LinkReference permissions to default group Tester. Fixes Issue #881

  Warning

  Administrators of existing applications will need to apply these permissions by hand via the Admin section.

• Remove testcases.Bug model, replaced with LinkReference. Closes Issue #1029 and obsoletes Issue #320.

  Note

  Linking bugs to TestExecution is now performed via URLs instead of keeping a reference to BUG-ID and trying to reconstruct the URL on the fly.

  Warning

  The model named Bug which is added by subsequent migrations refers to defects reported into Kiwi TCMS minimalistic defect tracker!

• New model bugs.Bug is now available. Permissions of type bugs | bug | Can ... will be applied to the default group named Tester only for new installations.

  Warning

  Administrators of existing applications will need to apply these permissions by hand via the Admin section.

API

• TestExecution.add_link() method now returns serialized LinkReference object.
• TestExecution.remove_link() method now accepts one parameter of type dict used to filter the objects which to remove
• TestExecution.get_links() method now accepts one parameter of type dict instead of int
• TestExecution.add_link() method signature changed from (int, str, str) to (dict), where the single parameter holds field values for the LinkReference model
• Remove TestExecution.add_bug() method, use TestExecution.add_link()
• Remove TestExecution.remove_bug() method, use TestExecution.remove_link()
• Remove TestCase.add_bug() method
• Remove TestCase.remove_bug() method
• Remove Bug.remove() method, use TestExecution.remove_link()
• Remove Bug.create() method, use TestExecution.add_link()
• Add method Bug.details() which together with the underlying IssueTracker.details() is the foundation of how Kiwi TCMS fetches extra details from the issue tracking system. The default implementation uses OpenGraph protocol to collect the data that will be shown. You may override .details() for each issue tracker (or add your own IT) to extend this functionality. Information is cached for 1 hour by default. References Issue #117
• Add methods Bug.add_tag() and Bug.remove_tag()
• Existing method with name Bug.filter() has changed behavior. It is now used to query objects from Kiwi TCMS minimalistic defect tracker

Removed functionality

• Remove IssueTrackerType.all_issues_link() method. This was used in TestRun Report page to show a single link that will open all bugs in the Issue Tracker. Most trackers don't support this and the UI portion has been rewritten
