@girish thank you, subscribed. Desperately looking forward for the mail access restriction in 6.3, wish you a nice smooth release! 😊

The backdoor was removed before it was compiled into a binary for admins to download so there is no issue for anyone running PHP. However this does prove to be an issues in regards to PHP's safety - They have moved to GitHub (@girish mentions in his reply) and will be better closely monitoring pushes and merges into the code base.

PHP's Own Nikita Popov: "The changes were on the development branch for PHP 8.1, which is due to release at the end of the year" which means the code has not been distributed. It's a big deal but not as big as everyone is making it out to be.

Hopefully this does NOT happen again.

@mastadamus that will be very useful, thanks!

@girish agreed.

@imc67 I've published a new package which sets the getremoteaddrconf now correctly.
Since we only have one reverse proxy, the second setting was not needed in my tests. So this is untouched by default.

Thanks for the heads up. The new package is out now.

Actually, it seems a better way to confirm this is the apt package version and not the dovecot version. The latest one (i.e one which will be in next release) shows this:

root@e4d2eb1cba0b:/app/haraka# apt list --installed 2>/dev/null | grep dovecot-core dovecot-core/bionic-updates,bionic-security,now 1:2.2.33.2-1ubuntu4.7 amd64 [installed]

The current cloudron container has 1:2.2.33.2-1ubuntu4.6

@girish thanks again for this!

@girish also, I imagine if MailPile hadn't tried to make PGP easy as part of it the developer might not have burnt out and there might be a decent open source webmail app!

@nicolas There's a feature request to monitor network traffic at the app level. If we had that, we could have narrowed this down more quickly.

@robi Interesting feature. Could save development time. Thanks!

@murgero Yeah, makes sense.

This appears to be someone/bot trying out common usernames in one of your apps. Unfortunately this is not too uncommon, but also not an a real issue if you have strong passwords. The requests will be rate-limited as well to prevent proper brute-force attacks.

The internal IP is associated to an app, it may or may not change when an app is restarted. However the ldap logs might indicate there are multiple apps configured to use LDAP. The port is actually dynamic per request, so that is the reason why it does not show in docker ps/inspect

@girish I think all these % numbers are a bit misleading and opinionated - but as you rightly detail it's a case of looking at the appropriateness of each item and reasonability.

It's impossible to know or remember everything but still a nice too for a quick review to see if there's any easy wins, and I suppose the scoring mechanism could be handy marketing for some once a certain level is considered reasonably hardened.

@girish Done - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3777/support-optional-cloudflare-proxied-record-creation

This is implemented in 5.4

I think there's a genuine case in the future where if we introduce per-app admins, then app admin can access terminal of one app to see traffic (and sniff ldap/db creds) of another app. I think it's an excellent suggestion to remove it!

@girish The manual check method is good enough for me. If you do the release channel thing thats cool. But for those of us that a hungry, an extra few clicks isn't a bother.

@Hillside502 yes, that was a ui bug!

@staypath Continuing my conversation with myself 🙂

Posting this here in case anyone else comes across this with the same question: I found that configuring fail2ban to use systemd was the trick:

[sshd] port = ssh #logpath = %(sshd_log)s #backend = %(sshd_backend)s backend = systemd enabled = true maxretry = 1 bantime = 14d

@dieter if you add an ssh key whilst buying the Hetzner server then they don't even create a root pw

@necrevistonnezr There is no fail2ban on Cloudron. Currently, we just rate limit all authentication routes to minimize risk (and with 2FA and app passwords risks are even lower now). We had a plan to implement firewalling this release (rate limits per IP, block specific IP etc), but already changes were piling up. So, we will have some more advanced firewalling features in a future release.

Thanks @girish!

@girish All these years and it’s still a pain >_<

Edit: I’m referring to Linux distros ofc, not Cloudron. 🙃

@girish I second this

@necrevistonnezr this was the one https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1971/urgent-security-issue-in-nginx-php-fpm

@necrevistonnezr Thanks, good to know. Will keep an eye for the ubuntu update. Cloudron is not at risk because we only use it internally (it is not exposed via public port). We also don't use NOTIFY query (this is a zone change notification across dns servers) as we use unbound as a recursive resolver and nothing more.

I guess this should come in as an nginx update via ubuntu at some point. We don't package nginx ourselves.
