JFrog Curation

Overview

JFrog Curation defends your software supply chain, enabling early blocking of malicious or risky open-source packages before they even enter. Seamlessly identify harmful, vulnerable, or risky packages, ensuring increased security, compliance, and developer productivity.

For more information see here

The 'curation-audit' is a JFrog CLI command designed for developers to scan their projects and identify third-party dependencies that violate the restrictions set by the Curation service. This command provides detailed insights into the specific package policies that are being violated, leading to their blockage by the Curation service. Additionally, when feasible, 'curation-audit' may suggest alternative versions of the packages that comply with the Curation policies.

Commands

Audit your Project with JFrog CLI curation-audit command

Setup:

Prerequisites:

Some package types (except npm packages) require 'pass-through' curation configuration on the remote repositories in Artifactory, in addition to configuring curation on them. For more information, see this page.

1. Connect JFrog CLI to JFrog Platform

   Connect the JFrog CLI to your JFrog Platform instance by running the following command:

   jf c add

   • When prompted for the access token, use the token generated from Artifactory. For more details, refer to the adding and editing configured servers documentation.

   jf c show

   • It should present Artifactory server just added (with default true)

2. Configure JFrog CLI for Project Ensure your project is configured in the JFrog CLI with the repository you would like to resolve dependencies from. Here are details for each package manager:

   • NPM:

     • Set the resolved repository using the jf npmc command inside the project directory.

   • MAVEN:

     • Set the resolved repository using the jf mvnc command inside the project directory.

   • PIP:

     • Set the resolved repository using the jf pipc command inside the project directory (The only package installer supported for now by Python is "pip").

   • GO:

     • Set the resolved repository using the jf goc command inside the project directory.

Example 1

Curation-Audit the project in the current directory. Displays all known packages that were blocked by Curation Policies.

jf curation-audit

Example 2

Curation-Audit the projects according to the specific paths defined in the "working-dirs" option. Displays all known packages that were blocked by Curation Policies for all projects. The data is displayed in separate tables.

jf curation-audit --working-dirs="/path/to/project/npm_project1,/path/to/project/npm_project2"

Example 3

Curation-Audit the project in the current directory using 5 threads to check the packages Curation status in parallel. Displays all known packages blocked by Curation Policies.

jf curation-audit --threads=5
