Thanks for the heads up @felfert !

Looks like we're back now, looks like there was some issue reporting the outage on our end :)

hi @Anthony ,

This sounds like a great use-case for variables; you can programmatically set them in OtterScript using an operation (check your /reference/operations page to learn what the name is, I think it was renamed in modern versions of BUildMaster), and then query them with the variables endpoint: builds/«application-name»/«release-number»/«build-number»

Here's a link to the documentation:
https://docs.inedo.com/docs/buildmaster/reference/api/variables

Cheers,

Hi @devops-user ,

Can you try out the container image above? We'd like to get confirmation that it's working and we can then merge it to ProGet 2025 (we were otherwise planning ProGet 2026).

Thanks
Alana

Thanks @joshua-mitchell_8090 , we'll consider merging it in then!

As for "how the dependencies are identified within the project build vulnerabilities", I suppose so - the IncrementalVersion2 will allow for proper vulnerability associated with packages that use "incorrect" versions (like 1.2.3.4). Jackson Databind is the one we kept coming across.

Note you can request another trial key from my.inedo.com to try it out :)

Hi @_moep_ ,

So there are quite a few "moving pieces" here.

Vulnerability -> Assessment -> Compliance -> Build Issue

Vulnerabilities & Assessments

First and foremost, when you navigate to qs@0.6.6 in the ProGet UI, you should see several vulnerabilities listed, such PGV-2287703. So, the "identification" is there as a result of the offline version of that database being included with ProGet.

But, ProGet is all about reducing noise while helping elevate real risks - and most vulnerabilities are theoretical, have no real-world exploits, would require a dedicated attacker, and would result tin no real damage.

A "Denial of Service from Prototype Pollution" is great example of such a vulnerability. The risks and problems introduced by reactively upgrading every dependency far exceed any benefits -- moreover, it "de-sensitizes" everyone to real security risks. The idea of "when everything is severe nothing is" is the same as "when everything is a priority, nothing is".

That's where Assessment comes in. In ProGet 2025 and earlier, a vulnerability is generally as "assessed" Ignored, Warn, or Blocked. PGV-2287703 will be assessed as Warn by default.

**NOTE this will be changing in ProGet 2025. **

Policies & Compliance

Next, there's the question of Compliance; the vulnerability assessment (among other things, like license, deprecation status, etc) will determines whether or not a package is Compliant, Noncompliant, or Warn.

Compliance rules are configured in policies. In ProGet 2025, by default, the "Warn" Assessment will not make a package Noncompliant. Just Warn.

Builds & Issues

A Build is considered Noncompliant if any of the packages are Noncompliant. A Noncomplaint build should be blocked from deploying to production.

This is where Issues come in: an issue may be created when a build is analyzed (try it out by clicking [analyze] in the UI) for a Noncompliant package. The purpose of these Issues are to effectively "override" the compliance status on a single package.

They are not informational; if you want a list of packages, vulnerabilities, licenses, just use pgutil builds audit to get that listing.

Long story short, I'd decide on a process you'd want to use before even considering web hooks for all this.

Also note that this mostly requires a paid license, so you may not even be getting functionality if you're on a free version

hope that helps,
Alana

Hi @steviecoaster ,

Offline / air-gapped installation is common and a documented use-case:
https://docs.inedo.com/docs/installation/windows/inedo-hub/offline

As the article mentions, you can download the "offline installer", which is essentially a
self-extracting zip file that runs a Custom Installer created using the Inedo Hub.

That .exe file is not suitable for automation, so if that's a requirement then you'll need to use an alternative if you wanted to automate upgrade/installation. That article outlines a few concepts, but ultimately it really depends how "air-gapped" we're talking here.

If we're talking a SCIF with "security-guard inspected installation media", then I don't think automation is really going to really get you much ;)

Thanks,
Alana

Hi @reseau_6272 ,

Just to confirm, you've switched the ProGet service from a domain account to use Network Service, and when starting the service you're getting some kind of permission error from SQL Server?

The easiest solution is to simply switch to using a username/password instead of Windows Integrated Authentication and edit the connection string appropriately. Keeping in mind that, eventually, you will need to move away from SQL Server and migrate to PostgreSQL, which will not have these issues.

Otherwise, you will explicitly need to grant a login to the machine account. Network Service is represented in SQL Server as the machine account (e.g., DOMAIN\MACHINENAME$), and the identity needs to be explicitly created CREATE LOGIN [MYDOMAIN\WEB01$] FROM WINDOWS; before you can assign permissions.

Thanks,
Alana

Hi @koksime-yap_5909,

Good news, it's available now for testing! We're considering merging to ProGet 2025, or maybe keeping for ProGet 2026?

Anyway, I posted a lot more detail now:
https://forums.inedo.com/topic/5696/proget-is-unable-to-download-maven-packages-that-use-a-nonstandard-versioning-scheme/2

Thanks,
Alana

FYI -- locked this, in case anyone has comments/questions on that change, I guess that post will be the "official" thread at this point :)

Hi @it_9582 ,

Thanks for checking that! Well, I'm not sure then :)

From here, how about sending us the package? Then I can upload it and see about debugging in ProGet to find out where it's coming from.

If you can open a ticket and reference QA-3010 somewhere it'll link the issues right-up on our dashboard. Then you can attach the file to that ticket.

We'll respond on there, and eventually update this thread once we figure out the issue.

Thanks,
Alana

Hi @joshua-mitchell_8090 ,

Thanks for the inquiry! The changes are available in the inedo/proget:25.0.24-ci.4 container image, and we'd love to get a second set of eyes. Are you using Docker?

They're relatively simple, but we just avoid changing stuff like this in maintenance releases... so it's currently slated for ProGet 2026.

But it should be okay for a maintenance release. Please let us know, we'll decide to release based on your or other user feedback.

Here's what we changed.

First, we added a "sixth" component called IncrementalVersion2 that will support versions like 1.2.3.4-mybuild-678 (where 4 is the second incrementing version), so that vulnerability identification can work better. Our implementation is based on the the Maven version specs, which in retrospect, seems to be followed only by ProGet. Pretty low risk here.

Second, we changed our "path parsing" logic, which identifies the groupId, artifactId, version, artifactType from a string like /junit/junit/4.8.2/junit-4.8.2.jar into /mygroup/more-group/group-42/my-artifact/1.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml.

It's a little hard to explain, so I'll just share the new and old logic:

//OLD: if (urlPartsQ.TryPeek(out string? maybeVersion) && char.IsNumber(maybeVersion, 0))
if (urlPartsQ.TryPeek(out string? maybeVersion) && (
    char.IsNumber(maybeVersion, 0)
    || maybeVersion.EndsWith("-SNAPSHOT", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
    || (this.FileName is not null && !this.FileName.Equals("maven-metadata.xml", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
    ))
{
    this.Version = maybeVersion;
    urlPartsQ.Pop();
}

Long story short, this seems to work fine for v8.5.0 and shouldn't break unless someone is uploading improperly named artifact files (e.g. my-group/my-artifact/version-1000/maven-metadata.xml or e.g. my-photo/cool-snapshot/hello-kitty.jpg).

Thanks,
Alana

Hi @koksime-yap_5909 ,

Just as a quick update! Given that this is a more wide-spread problem, we've fixed the code and plan to release in ProGet 2026 (or possibly sooner, if we can make it low-risk enough in a mainteannce release).

Thanks,
Alana

Hi @it_9582 ,

Sorry it looks like we're dealing with a lot more code than I expected we would. I really don't know what to look at, and neither your code or our code makes sense (it's been many many years since anyone edited it.

I'm not sure if it's helpful, but I'll share the code of our class. If you spot anything simple to change, we can explore it. Otherwise, I think the only way to move forward would be for you to share us some example nuget packages that we can set a debugger to.

Hi @it_9582 ,

It's certainly possible; there's a few hundred lines of code that make up the MicrosoftPdbFile class, so I don't know which parts to share with you. Of course I'm happy to share it all if you'd like.

Since you mentioned your colleague was able to read the file, perhaps you can share what you did, and I can see how it compares to our code?

Thanks,
Alana

Hi @it_9582 ,

If there's an error reading the file using GetMetadataReader, then we load it using the MicrosoftPdbFile class that we wrote. So, I'm guessing that's what's causing the wrong information?

Anyway, let me share you the full code for the PortablePdbFile class. I summarized it before, but you can see the full context of what we're doing any why.

using System.Collections.Immutable;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection.Metadata;

namespace Inedo.ProGet.Symbols;

public sealed class PortablePdbFile : IPdbFile
{
    private readonly MetadataReader metadataReader;

    private PortablePdbFile(MetadataReader metadataReader) => this.metadataReader = metadataReader;

    // visual studio always treats this value like a guid, despite the portable pdb spec
    public ImmutableArray<byte> Id => this.metadataReader.DebugMetadataHeader.Id.RemoveRange(16, 4);

    // not really age, but actually last 4 bytes of id - ignored by visual studio
    uint IPdbFile.Age => BitConverter.ToUInt32(this.metadataReader.DebugMetadataHeader.Id.ToArray(), 16);
    bool IPdbFile.IsPortable => true;

    public IEnumerable<string> GetSourceFileNames()
    {
        foreach (var docHandle in this.metadataReader.Documents)
        {
            if (!docHandle.IsNil)
            {
                var doc = this.metadataReader.GetDocument(docHandle);
                yield return this.metadataReader.GetString(doc.Name);
            }
        }
    }

    public static PortablePdbFile Load(Stream source)
    {
        if (source == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(source));

        try
        {
            var provider = MetadataReaderProvider.FromPortablePdbStream(source, MetadataStreamOptions.LeaveOpen);
            var reader = provider.GetMetadataReader();
            if (reader.MetadataKind != MetadataKind.Ecma335)
                return null;

            return new PortablePdbFile(reader);
        }
        catch
        {
            return null;
        }
    }

    void IDisposable.Dispose()
    {
    }
}

Hi @certificatemanager_4002 ,

From the cybersecurity perspective, it's fine to leave it as root since the core process is run by the non-root user postgres inside of the container. You're never exposing a network service while the containerized process has root privileges.

Here is more information on this if you're curious:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73672857/how-to-run-postgres-in-docker-as-non-root-user

As you can see in that link, it's technically possible to configure as non-root, but it requires more effort and doesn't really get you any benefit.

As for load-testing and restarting, it really depends on the hardware and similar factors. Keep in mind that InedoDB is simply the postgresql container image with some minor configuration tweaks/changes. So any question you ask about InedoDB you can really ask about postgresql as well.

As for using an external PostgreSQL server, the only information we have at this time is in the link I sent you before. You really need to be an expert on PostgreSQL if you wish to run your own server.

Thanks,
Alana

It looks like someone (at IP 10.2.12.133) has configured the wrong URL in Visual Studio or something. They are trying to access the NuGet API via the wrong URL (note the /feeds vs /nuget at the base url).

Alana

hi @sigurd-hansen_7559 ,

ProGet runs EXEC sp_updatestats, which "runs UPDATE STATISTICS against all user-defined and internal tables in the current database."

According to the documentation, "you must be the owner of the database (dbo)," so a dbo-user should have permission. Maybe they did something strange and somehow blocked it.

Please note that the ProGet database user must be a db_owner, or ProGet will not function. This is a requirement starting in ProGet 2025.

Thanks,
Alana

Hi @certificatemanager_4002 ,

InedoDB is relatively new, so we're still working through some of the setup and installation documentation. We recently published a new release with installer improvements that address some default configuration issues.

Otherwise, here is the documentation we have on using an External PostgreSQL server:
https://docs.inedo.com/docs/installation/postgresql#external-postgres

Note that we don't recommend it unless you have PostgreSQL server expertise - especially when it comes to Azure PostgreSQL, since they make certain customizations to the engine that will be difficult to troubleshoot/diagnose if you're not familiar with them. In particular when it comes to resource constraints and limiting/throttling usage.

So, unless you have that in-house expertise, we suggest InedoDB.

Thanks,
Alana

Hi @it_9582 ,

I'm not really sure the differences between the files to be honest. But that could be possible?

I know some of the PDB code is really ancient (like 30+ years) and it uses old .exe files that no other program can read. I'm not sure if that is true.

This is the code we use, by the way:

var provider = MetadataReaderProvider.FromPortablePdbStream(source, MetadataStreamOptions.LeaveOpen);
var reader = provider.GetMetadataReader();
if (reader.MetadataKind != MetadataKind.Ecma335)
    return null;
reader.DebugMetadataHeader.Id //<-- that is how we get the PDB ID

If that function is returning the wrong Id, then I don't know if we can solve the problem. It doesn't seem very feasible to write our own PDB parsing, and I don't think there's another way to do it...

Thanks,
Alana

Hi @Johnpeter-Commons_1617 ,

Is this network totally air-gapped, or is the ProGet kind of like a DMZ?

In general, you shouldn't be accessing the internal file store... but in air-gapped scenarios, sometimes you need to be creative. Here is where you can find the location of the packages

https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget/feeds/feed-overview/proget-feed-storage
