v2.2.6: Version 2.2.6

Compare Source

Version 2.2.6 is a security update for a potential issue within the jackson-databind dependency. As usual you can checkout the detailed list of bug-fixes :-)

New Features / Bug-Fixes:

The main key-aspects is a security update for a potential issue within the jackson-databind dependency. This specific dependency was updated to v2.9.8 in response to https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues/2186 (CVE-2018-19360, CVE-2018-19361, CVE-2018-19362). Even though by default an user of this plugin does not seem to be affected by this potential issue, it is highly recommended to adopt the latest version at your earliest convenience. Similar to version 2.2.5 this version provides full support for Java 7, Java 8, Java 9, Java 10 and Java 11 (and is potentially also working for any higher version).

Am I affected? (technical details)

The specific issues that have been fixed with the update of jackson-databind dependency are:

• CVE-2018-19360: FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.8 might allow attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging failure to block the axis2-transport-jms class from polymorphic deserialization.
• CVE-2018-19361: FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.8 might allow attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging failure to block the openjpa class from polymorphic deserialization.
• CVE-2018-19362: FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.8 might allow attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging failure to block the jboss-common-core class from polymorphic deserialization.

This plugin uses the jackson-databind dependency for dumping the git information (serialization) to the generated properties file and determining if the generated json properties are up-to-date (deserialization). As of now it appears that only user who generate json properties via <format>json</format> may be affected by those issues. This specific configuration is set to <format>properties</format> by default and hence by default it appears that those issues are out of scope. Only when this configuration is altered a user may need to consider the linked CVE's as potential security problem.
In general I would be unsure if this ever even could be considered a true attack vector of this plugin, since the generated json file would need to contain data that would trigger this specific bug in the dependency. If an adversary has access to the content to the location where the generated file is residing, I would assume he can also modify the any local file (including project files) and hence would not need to go through the pain and exploit this problem....

Getting the latest release

The plugin is available from Maven Central (see here), so you don't have to configure any additional repositories to use this plugin. All you need to do is to configure it inside your project as dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>pl.project13.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>git-commit-id-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.6</version>
</dependency>

Known Issues / Limitations:

• This plugin is unfortunately not working with Heroku which is due to the fact how Heroku works. In summary Heroku does not copy over the .git-repository but in order to determine the git properties this plugin relies on the fact that it has access to the git-repository. A somewhat workaround to get some information is outlined in https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/279#issuecomment-301284022

v2.2.5: Version 2.2.5

Compare Source

Version 2.2.5 is finally there and includes various bug-fixes and improvements :-)

New Features / Bug-Fixes:

The main key-aspects that have been improved or being worked on are the following:

• most likely the last release that supports Java 1.7
• Full support for Java 7, Java 8, Java 9, Java 10 and Java 11 (potentially also working for any higher version)
• add build number support (git.build.number and git.build.number.unique) for Bamboo, Hudson, Jenkins, TeamCity, Travis, Gitlab CI - https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/353 / https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/pull/369
• add git.branch support for GitlabCI - https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/pull/368
• add total commit count property via 'rev-list --count' -- https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/pull/357
• fixed a bug where the plugin fails when bamboo generates an unsupported gitRemoteString (the plugin now also never fails when this happens, it will simply log an exception and populate an empty string) -- https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/352 / https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/pull/356
• various dependency updates including support for java 10 (I think that should have worked before, but its now also tested with that version) -- https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/pull/347 / https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/pull/372

v2.2.4: Version 2.2.4

Compare Source

Version 2.2.4 is finally there and includes various bug-fixes and improvements :-)

New Features / Bug-Fixes:

The main key-aspects that have been improved or being worked on are the following:

• Fixing an issue where -Dmaven.gitcommitid.skip=true does not skip the plugin execution when the configuration in the POM includes a <skip>false</skip> - https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/315
• Support for all Maven 3.X versions - https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/316
• The runningOnBuildServer check for detecting the branch name on Jenkins / Hudson is now using 'HUDSON_HOME' and 'JENKINS_HOME' as well - https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/326
• The in-built replacement of properties (only for properties generated by the plugin) now can also change the casing of the properties that the user wants to replace (e.g. lower case VS upper case). This behaviour can be achieved by defining a list of transformationRules for the property where those rules should take effect. Each transformationRule consist of two required fields apply and action. The apply-tag controls when the rule should be applied and can be set to BEFORE to have the rule being applied before or it can be set to AFTER to have the rule being applied after the replacement. The action-tag determines the string conversion rule that should be applied. Currenlty supported is LOWER_CASE and UPPER_CASE. Potential candidates in the feature are CAPITALIZATION and INVERT_CASE (open a ticket if you need them...).

<replacementProperties>
  <!-- example: apply replacement only to the specific property git.branch and replace '/' with '-' -->
  <replacementProperty>
    <property>git.branch</property>
    <!-- will not overwrite the existing property and generate a new `git.branch.something` -->
    <propertyOutputSuffix>something</propertyOutputSuffix>
    <token>^([^\/]*)\/([^\/]*)$</token>
    <value>$1-$2</value>
    <regex>true</regex>
    <transformationRules>
      <transformationRule>
        <apply>BEFORE</apply>
        <action>UPPER_CASE</action>
      </transformationRule>
      <transformationRule>
        <apply>AFTER</apply>
        <action>LOWER_CASE</action>
      </transformationRule>
    </transformationRules>
  </replacementProperty>
</replacementProperties>

See https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/317 for more details on a use-case.

• Release-Notes (available as RSS-Feed https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/releases.atom) - https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/324 :-)
• The code style access this project will now be verified with checkstyle rules (initial idea https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/214). A contributer can verify the code style either by installing the codestyle plugin in his IDE or simply run checkstyle via maven and execute mvn clean verify -Pcheckstyle -Dmaven.test.skip=true -B for java 7 and java 8. For java9 one may want to run mvn clean verify -Pcheckstyle -Dcheckstyle.version=8.2 -Dmaven.test.skip=true -B that uses a more recent checkstyle version. Feel free to check out our FAQ-Section in the Readme that contains a small write up on how you can integrate checkstyle into your IDE.
• The output properties git.closest.tag.name and git.closest.tag.count now will be determined based on properties configured inside the git-describe command (https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/221). Example:

<gitDescribe>
<tags>true</tags>
</gitDescribe>

will cause that lightweight tags are also included for the closest tags

Also the pattern used inside the gitDescribe might have an impact on the resulting git.closest.tag.name and git.closest.tag.count

• this project now has an Issue Template that is being used for every new issue by default - https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/337
• Under certain conditions the JGit implementation yielded wrong results inside the exposed git.tags property (basically it wasn't reporting all tags of a given commit) - https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/339
• A new option to allow to tell the plugin what commit should be used as reference to generate the properties from (https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin/issues/338). By default this property is simply set to HEAD which should reference to the latest commit in your repository. In general this property can be set to something generic like HEAD^1 or point to a branch or tag-name. To support any kind or use-case this configuration can also be set to an entire commit-hash or it's abbreviated version. Please note that for security purposes not all references might be allowed as configuration.
  The configuration can be used in the following:

<evaluateOnCommit>HEAD</evaluateOnCommit>
