Installable with the Extension Manager

Description

The main job of this extension is to simplify the process of handling security issues as defined by the XWiki Security Policy. So this extension is currently highly linked to our current internal policy and relies on the release note applications to compute some data.

The extensions provides following features:

  • creation of advisories 
  • automatic computation of embargo date based on release date provided by release notes
  • notification when embargo date is computed and when an advisory is ready to be disclosed

Prerequisites & Installation Instructions

We recommend using the Extension Manager to install this extension (Make sure that the text "Installable with the Extension Manager" is displayed at the top right location on this page to know if this extension can be installed with the Extension Manager). Note that installing Extensions when being offline is currently not supported and you'd need to use some complex manual method.

You can also use the following manual method, which is useful if this extension cannot be installed with the Extension Manager or if you're using an old version of XWiki that doesn't have the Extension Manager:

  1. Log in the wiki with a user having Administration rights
  2. Go to the Administration page and select the Import category
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the downloaded XAR
  4. Click on the uploaded XAR and follow the instructions
  5. You'll also need to install all dependent Extensions that are not already installed in your wiki
