v1.1.0

8 months ago

Summary

1.1.0 will be a minor release with important backwards-compatible enhances and bug-fixes around SSP, POA&M, profile, and cross-model metadata. Many of these feature enhancements have been pending release for over 12 months with neutral or positive community support.

Key takeaways and full details are below.

Changes: Key Takeaways

Models

  1. SSP: Change certain elements from required to optional for non-RMF use cases.
  2. SSP: improve constraints of links for cross-referencing components and indicating where components were imported from.
  3. POAM: add related-findings assembly.
  4. Profile: Remove with-parent-controls from the profile model.
  5. Metadata: add group attribute to props
  6. Metadata: add resource fragment to links (very useful for deep-linking into elements by UUID and point to sub-element UUID)
  7. Metadata: add actions assembly to track approvals or request for changes status.
  8. Metadata: correct how cross-references between controls and their parts are handled.
  9. :warning: Mapping: re previous discussion, mapping, by itself or within catalog, has been moved out of the v1.1.0 release.

Profile Resolution and Process Specs

  1. Aligning with model, remove with-parent-controls feature from Profile Resolution spec and unit tests.

Other

  1. Website updates to reference model docs to improve performance.
  2. :warning: We are going to include the website migration as part of the release (because of how GitHub works).

New Contributors

Notable Changes

This release corrects defects in the JSON schemas released with OSCAL 1.0.3. The previously released schemas did not contain the correct regular expressions required to properly constrain data based on the specific data type for a given field. As a result, under the old schemas some data might be allowed to be provided that is invalid. The new JSON schemas in this release correct this defect by restoring the proper regular expressions.

Note: This release contains defective JSON schemas that are missing required regular expressions. This has been corrected in the OSCAL 1.0.4 release. Please use the 1.0.4 release instead of this release.

Notable Changes

To fix a number of data type related issues, the underlying type system used in the generated OSCAL XML and JSON schemas was replaced. This change resulted in different names for simple and complex types for data types in XML schemas and some adjustments in data type definitions in JSON schemas. This may cause some issues with schema binding approaches that generate code from the XML or JSON schemas. In such instances, you may need to further customize your binding configurations or make some code adjustments resulting from differently generated code.

v1.0.2

2 years ago

The NIST Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) team is pleased to announce the release of OSCAL 1.0.2. This patch release of OSCAL 1.0 provides bug fixes and documentation enhancements.

This release incorporates changes based on feedback from the OSCAL community. The NIST OSCAL team is very thankful for all of the great ideas and feedback we have received to date.

Looking forward, the NIST OSCAL team is excited to continue to work with the OSCAL community to enhance OSCAL through additional minor releases.

For additional information on the OSCAL project, please see the NIST’s Cybersecurity Insights blog: “The Foundation for Interoperable and Portable Security Automation is Revealed in NIST’s OSCAL Project” and the OSCAL website.

For documentation on the OSCAL models included in this release, please visit the v1.0.2 model reference.

    • Parameterized insertion of xsi:schemaLocation in RC2->1.0.0 content upgrader.
    • Created README for content upgraders, document schema-location param.
    • Added pointer from README.txt to content-upgrade docs, per @david-waltermire-nist's sync meeting review.

    • #1140 Significant improvements around resolution of internal references. Behavior is now defined for resolving resources with different combinations of "rlink" and "base64". As these /should/ all be equal to one another, there is no standardized order or priority given in the specification at this time.
    • #1141 Enhanced prose around Group handling, especially around expected behavior of the "keep always" prop.
    • #1142 Core issue obsoleted by general OSCAL requirements on valid OSCAL documents. Cleaned up prose in the formats section.

v1.0.0

2 years ago

The NIST Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) team is pleased to announce the release of OSCAL 1.0.0. This first official, major release of OSCAL provides a stable OSCAL 1.0.0 for wide-scale implementation. This release marks an important milestone for the OSCAL project and for the earlier adopters and implementers of security automation with OSCAL.

This release incorporates changes based on feedback from the OSCAL community. The NIST OSCAL team is very thankful for all of the great ideas and feedback we have received to date.

Looking forward, the NIST OSCAL team is excited to work with the OSCAL community to continue to enhance OSCAL through additional minor releases.

For additional information on the OSCAL project, please see the NIST’s Cybersecurity Insights blog: “The Foundation for Interoperable and Portable Security Automation is Revealed in NIST’s OSCAL Project” and the OSCAL website.
