Chef InSpec 6.8.1

New features

• Added the sshd_active_config resource, which finds and tests configuration data for the OpenSSH daemon. (#7070)

  For example, if the value of key is 3, then this fails:

  its(key) { should_not cmp "3" }
  

  and returns this output:

  expected: 3
       got: 3
  

  The updated output returns:

  expected it not to be == "3"
       got: 3

Chef InSpec 6.6.0

Chef licensing

Chef InSpec now requires a license key to run. Before you can execute scans with InSpec, you must accept the Chef EULA and add a license key.

Commercial users can find their license key in Chef Support Hub. Users can request a Free or Trial license that comes with product limitations. See the license tiers section below.

For more information on adding a license key to InSpec and Chef licenses, see Chef InSpec’s licensing documentation and Chef licensing documentation.

License tiers

We’ve updated the Chef End User License Agreement (EULA). The terms of the EULA are the same as they were before, but we’ve created three license tiers: Free, Trial, and Commercial.

The Free tier allows personal/non-commercial users to scan 10 targets for an unlimited period of time. The Trial tier allows trial users to scan unlimited targets for 30 days. The Commercial tier gives users the features and benefits that come with the subscription they’ve purchased.

Users who would like to try Chef InSpec 6 can request a free or trial license, which comes with product limitations.

See our licensing documentation or contact Chef Support for more information.

New features

InSpec Parallel

The new inspec parallel command allows you to simultaneously run multiple audits on multiple cloud or on-prem targets. This can speed up audits and allow you to remediate problems more quickly.

For more information, see the InSpec Parallel documentation

Audit Logging (Preview)

Audit Logging logs the commands and file accesses made through the underlying Train connection. To enable this feature, set the environment variable CHEF_PREVIEW_AUDIT_LOGGING to any non-empty value and Chef InSpec will write logs to ~/.inspec/logs/inspec-audit-TIMESTAMP-PID.log in JSON format.

This is a preview feature with limited capabilities. We are seeking user feedback for future feature development. For more details, see InSpec Audit Log.

Mandatory Profile Signing (Preview)

If you set the environment variable CHEF_PREVIEW_MANDATORY_PROFILE_SIGNING to any non-empty value, Chef InSpec 6 will only execute signed profiles for all profile executions. Signed profiles, or .iaf files, are digital artifacts created using the inspec sign command. They can be used to create a chain of trust between your content author and your compliance target.

For more information on the feature, which is in preview in Chef InSpec 6 but will be enabled in a future major version, please see InSpec Signing.

Bug Fixes

Waiver files

We improved how InSpec handles malformed waiver files. (6644)

Previously, InSpec would run until it finished processing a profile and then return an error if there was a problem with a waiver file. Error messages could be quite long and it could take InSpec hours to complete large profiles, wasting users’ time.

Now InSpec exits immediately and returns an error if it detects a malformed waiver file. This includes waiver files missing required parameters and YAML files that fail linting.

InSpec Check and InSpec Export

We overhauled the inspec check and inspec export commands to use the parser library to improve security. (6849)

Breaking Changes

• We no longer support Ruby 2.7 since it became end-of-life (EOL) in March 2023.

  • The oracledb_session resource now correctly passes queries with certain special characters and escape backslashes to Oracle SQL. Previously queries with special characters like , or $ that were escaped using a double backslash (for example, \\,) were converted by oracledb_session to have four backslashes (for example \\\\,).

  (#7136)

• The postgres_session resource now correctly returns an error when the password authentication fails. (#7154)

Chef InSpec 5.22.55

Enhancement

• Added C shell support to the sybase_session resource. (#7069)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the virtualization.virtual_system? helper in the virtualization resource to correctly return true if run against a Podman container. (#6949)
• Silenced warnings about transforming the URL fetcher into the git fetcher when executing profiles from a Git repository. This message is now added to the debug log. (#6956)
• Fixed the Uninitialized constant Parser::AST::Processor::Mixin error with the Parser gem dependency. (#7036)
• Fixed an error with the URL fetcher which failed to work when the current directory is not a Git repository. (#7023)

Improvements

• Updated the output of the cmp matcher when a control fails while using a negation such as ‘should_not’. (#6986)

  For example, if the value of key is 3, then this fails:

  its(key) { should_not cmp "3" }
  

  and returns this output:

  expected: 3
       got: 3
  

  The updated output returns:

  expected it not to be == "3"
       got: 3

We fixed a bug that caused occasional failures in some command resources that use SSH transport and were mistakenly allocated a pseudoterminal (PTY) when setting a timeout. In some cases, the PTY changed how the resource was interpreted. This fix only uses PTY when explicitly requested.

Improvements

• The parse_config resource now accepts [ and ] characters, which allows access to settings that contain dots. Thanks @rgeissert! (#5252)
• The gemspec allows for Ruby 3.0 use and opens the way for future testing. (#5357)
• Updated the RSpec dependency to version 3.10. (#5342)
• The mssql_session resource expands its platform support to include macOS and Linux since the sqlcmd utility is now available on those platforms. Thanks @kclinden! (#5366)

Backward Incompatibilities

Chef InSpec 4.23.4

New Features

• Discretion: A mechanism marks inputs as sensitive: true and replaces their values with “***”. (#5054)
• Cut the Chatter: Use the --no-diff CLI option to suppress diff output for textual tests. (#5054)
• Sorted: Control the order of controls in output, but not execution order, with the --sort_results_by=none|control|file|random CLI option. (#5054)
• Test Better: Disable caching of inputs with a cache_inputs: true setting. (#5211)

Improvements

• Port Access: postgres_session allows for custom ports in the postgres_session('username', 'password', 'host', 'port') command. (#5185)

Bug Fixes

• Unabridged: Addressed a ps output truncation edge case related to undefined output widths for some Linux systems. (#5232)

Chef InSpec 4.22.22

New Features

• Shiny: Check out the new windows_firewall and windows_firewall_rule resources! (#4979)
• New Factor: New junit2 reporter is now available! The junit2 reporter shows the standard JUnit specification in XML format, and is recommended for all new users of JUnit. (#5085)
• In Progress: We added a test in preparation for the macOS Big Sur (11.0) beta release. (#5217)

Improvements

• Revision: We converted the legacy junit reporter into a plugin. Nothing changed about using the junit reporter, but it’s a great example of a plugin if you want to build your own! (#5084)
• Better Finding: Experience more robust Darwin operating system detection. (#5175)
• Lighter: We removed unused dependencies and the inspec gem no longer ships with the readme file. (#5201, #5203, and #5202)
• Upgrade: Omnibus builds now use Ruby 2.6.6 for improved security. (#5198)

Bug Fixes

• Restored: The mysql_session resource works again with stdout, stderr, and exit_status parameters. (#5219)

Backward Incompatibilities

• Reminder: We no longer build packages for Debian 8 as it is considered end-of-life. (5197)

Chef InSpec 4.22.8

New Features

• For mysql and postgres session resources, we added functionality that protects passwords from printing out to the console. (#5124)

Improvements

• The Scientific Linux platform is now supported on the service resource. (#5164)
• We fixed documentation examples for the passwd resource. (#5171)

Bug Fixes

• We fixed a bug where failure messages would always end with [TRUNCATED] if truncation was enabled. This meant that you would even get the truncation text even if your message was short enough to begin with. (#5165)

Chef InSpec 4.22.1

Bug Fixes

• Chef InSpec’s Chef Habitat builds for Linux no longer executes with a PATH that includes build dependency directories. (#5148)

Chef InSpec 4.22.0

New Features

• Clark Kent: New html2 reporter now available! The html2 reporter shows all the data from your Chef InSpec run and even allows you to customize your report formatting with custom JavaScript and CSS options. At a later date, the html2 reporter will replace the current rspec-based html reporter.

Improvements

• Check It Out!: The interface resource features several improvements:
  • The resource supports macOS and FreeBSD
  • The resource includes a pluralized interfaces to query multiple interfaces
  • New ipv4_address and ipv6_address properties return the primary IP address for an interface

Bug Fixes

• Better Performance: Chef InSpec no longer reopens a new SSH connection for each command when targeting hosts over SSH.

Chef InSpec 4.20.10

Bug Fixes

• Chef InSpec works again with tools that depend on the inspec Ruby gem, which fixes a bug in the 4.20.6 release.

Chef InSpec 4.20.6

Bug Fixes

• Certain substrings within a .toml file no longer cause unexpected crashes.

Chef InSpec 4.20.2

Improvements

• Accurate InSpec CLI input parsing for numeric values and structured data, which were previously treated as strings. Numeric values are cast to an integer or float; YAML or JSON structures are converted to a hash or an array.
• Suppress deprecation warnings on inspec exec with the --silence-deprecations option.
• Expanded only_ifdocumentation.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue in testing for file existence on Solaris 10.

Chef InSpec 4.19.2

New Features

• Check out our new x86_64 and aarch64 packages for Amazon Linux.
• We added aarch64 packages for RedHat.

Bug Fixes

• We restored Chef InSpec to work on Microsoft Windows after a build issue.

Chef InSpec 4.19.0

New Features

• In Your Hands: Develop your own Chef InSpec Reporter plugin and determine how Chef InSpec will report result data. Learn more about Chef Inspec plugins and implementation in our documentation.
• Easier Form: The inspec archive command packs your profile into a tar.gz file that includes the profile in JSON form as the inspec.json file. Use this JSON file to programmatically examine the profile without needing to load it into Chef InSpec.

Improvements

• More Dates: Chef InSpec accepts a variety of date formats in the waivers.yaml configuration file, rather than only the YYYY-MM-DD format.

Chef InSpec 4.18.114

New Features

• Use the new inspec command options to control the size of reports:
  • --reporter-message-truncation sets a length limit for the message field in test failure report data.
  • --reporter-backtrace-inclusion determines if Ruby backtraces should be included in test failure report data.

Chef InSpec 4.18.111

Bug Fixes

• Not a Blocker: Chef InSpec allows an input and a control to have the same name.
• Clarity: Inputs with a value passed by the user and no default value no longer cause incorrect “Input does not have a value” warnings.

Chef InSpec 4.18.108

Improvements

• Troubleshooting Help: inspec compliance logs if an error occurs when connecting to a Chef Automate instance.

Chef InSpec 4.18.104

New Features

• Time Is Time: The search and install CLI commands now accept a --source option that allows a gem package source other than RubyGems.org.

Improvements

• You Make My Dreams: The virtualization resource supports expanded detection of VMware, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, KVM and Xen hypervisors, and includes virtual_system? and physical_system? helper methods.

Bug Fixes

• Tell It Like It Is: The service resource correctly detects Windows hosts.

Chef InSpec 4.18.100

Bug Fixes

• We fixed a problem in which the sudo password would appear to be ignored even if provided.

Chef InSpec 4.18.85

New Features

• Read SSL certificate contents from files or the content that you provide. Thank you to @frezbo for this new feature!
• The archive command includes an --airgap mode, which allows it to re-package archives with remote dependencies and not fail.
• Improve your resource debugging experience with the new --inspect option for the inspec shell command.
• The service resource features new support for yocto-based linux distributions. Thank you to @michaellihs for this addition!
• The package resource now includes support for FreeBSD. Thank you to @fzipi for this work!

Improvements

• Our macOS packaging is compatible with macOS Catalina. For more information, see our recent blog post.
• The ControlEvalContext, LibraryEvalContext, and Resource classes experienced removal of most meta-programming.
• We standardized the platform for the etc_hosts, virtualization, ini, and xml resources.

Bug Fixes

• The name of the option --winrm-basic-auth-only correctly matches the option provided by train. Thanks @shawnifoley for this fix!
• The oracledb_session resource works again due to a missing quote fix.
• command.exist? now conforms to POSIX standards. Thanks to @PiQuer!
• Errors with bad tarball files will properly report.
• The groups resource on macOS no longer reports duplicates anymore.
• The JSON reporter’s attributes array will not remain empty. Thanks @nazliBeit for your contribution!
• Changed the postfix_conf resource’s supported platform to the broader unix. Thank you to @fzipi for this fix!

Chef InSpec 4.18.51

Improvements

• Readable: A message appears to the user when fetching a profile fails, instead of a wordy stack trace.
• New Standard: Updating to rspec 3.9 means that output on failures changes from “X should be Y” to “X is expected to be Y”.
• No More Sign-in Sheet: The WindowsUser resource now tests for the user’s last login date. Thank you @mbaitelman for your contribution!
• Transformed: Wired up control blocks to use resources.

Bug Fixes

• Future Proofing: Compatibility fixes added in preparation for ruby 2.7.
• Logging at Last: Fixed inspec detect so the --log-level=<level> command works properly.

Backward Incompatibilities

• Technical Adjustment: Moved lib/fetchers to lib/inspec/fetcher and re-namespaced accordingly.

Chef InSpec 4.18.39

Bug Fixes

• Expansion: You can now use inputs in describe.one blocks.
• Customize Today: The npm resource now works with a custom path on Windows.
• Wait, There’s More: The npm resource now works under sudo on Unix.
• Translation: Fixed handling of text files within profiles on Windows by using UTF-8 encoding and converting newlines.
• Yay!: The gem resource works again.
• Decoder Ring: The apt resource now properly parses config files with an architecture specifier.

Chef InSpec 4.18.38

This release does not have any release notes.

Chef InSpec 4.18.24

This release does not have any release notes.

Chef InSpec 4.18.0

New Features

• Exceptional: Use Waivers to mark controls as being administratively expected to fail.

Improvements

• What Do You Call…?: The interface resource now has a name property.
• Dazed and Conf-user-ed: Expanded user resource to include the passwordage, maxbadpasswords, and badpasswordattempts properties with Windows.

Bug Fixes

• Repaired: Fixed a regression in which most RSpec-based matchers were broken.
• Understandable: The apt resources now correctly parse quoted repository addresses.
• Back In Action: inspec env works again, instead of erroneously stacktracing.

Chef InSpec 4.17.17

Bug Fixes

• Dynamically loaded resources work again in describe.one blocks.
• You can use only_if blocks on non-OS platforms, such as cloud providers.

Chef InSpec 4.17.15

Bug Fixes

Fixed two bugs introduced in yesterday’s release:

• Vision Quest: The new resource loader sees all the resources.
• Test Prep: RSpec test DSL uses InSpec lazy resource loading correctly.

Chef InSpec 4.17.14

Bug Fixes

Fixed two bugs introduced in yesterday’s release:

• Vision Quest: The new resource loader sees all the resources.
• Test Prep: RSpec test DSL uses InSpec lazy resource loading correctly.

Chef InSpec 4.17.11

Bug Fixes

Fixed two bugs introduced in yesterday’s release:

• Vision Quest: The new resource loader sees all the resources.
• Test Prep: RSpec test DSL uses InSpec lazy resource loading correctly.

Chef InSpec 4.17.7

New Features

• Choice: The sys_info resource now supports ip_address, fqdn, domain, and short options when giving a version of the hostname.
• Boom!: We have released our beta Chef InSpec plug-in for HashiCorp Vault. Check it out in our inspec-vault GitHub repo and let us know what you think – or better yet, start jumping in and contributing with us on it.
• Also: Waivers, our new beta feature, was added to InSpec! Waivers allows you to better manage compliance failures. We would love to hear your feedback on this! See our documentation for more details.

Improvements

• Accelerate: Sped up initial load/response time for all commands by removing pre-leading of resources on invocation of inspec.
• Better Debugging: If an error occurs when using the json resource with a command source, you will now get the error message from STDERR returned in the report.
• Makeover: We improved the formatting of the usage help, so what you see when you type inspec exec --help should look better!

Bug Fixes

• Squashed: We fixed a bug on sys_info, etc_hosts, and several other resources, which would cause a ConversionError stacktrace when used in a describe block. This bug would not occur when used as an information gathering call, such as sys_info.manufacturer.
• Compressed: Resolved encoding issues with the JSON reporter and .tar.gz profiles.
• Clear Expression: Fixed a deprecation warning on the apt resource when using the =~ operator with false.
• Locating: Improved how the postfix_conf resource handles a non-standard config location.
• Remake: Refactored activator plugin to be more idiomatic.
• Excerpt: Resolved quoting issues with the mssql_session resource.
• Loaded: Fixed Plugin loader to check for the inspec-core gem if the inspec gem is not found, and to fail gracefully otherwise.

Chef InSpec 4.17.6

This release does not have any release notes.

Chef InSpec 4.16.0

New Features

• One’s Option: inspec exec now supports a new CLI option, --input name=value, which allows you to set an Input directly on the command line. While YAML files are still more practical and recommended for large numbers of inputs, use the --input option to set just one or two.
• Mail Me Maybe: Manage your Postfix mail transfer agent configurations with its new available resource. Thank you to @dmgasper for this!
• Slowly but Surely: InSpec now is ready to accept the input option from the audit cookbook and the kitchen-inspec plugin. This is another step on the journey of renaming ‘attributes’ to ‘inputs’! You can use this immediately with kitchen-inspec, and stay tuned for the audit cookbook update!
• All in One Place: InSpec and Train plugins may now store configuration data in the user configuration file at ~/.inspec/config.json. This change allows plugins to store things like authentication tokens, service discovery addresses, or other information in one place. Plugins are not required to use the configuration file, but it is one option.

Improvements

• Check It Out!: We improved the output of inspec plugin list:
  • The output is now in a table format and includes built-in plugins
  • Installed plugins now display their versions
  • Filter which plugins to list via new CLI options
  • See inspec plugin list -h for more information
• Heads Up: The inspec check command will now issue a warning if the inspec_version constraint in a profile cannot be satisfied by the current version of InSpec running it.

Bug Fixes

• Entirely Set: Resources were not fully initialized in some cases, which lead to broken messaging during reporting, but we fixed this.

Chef InSpec 4.12.0

New Features

• Who’s Who: The service resource now has a startuser property, which lets you examine the username that started the service.

Bug Fixes

• Comma Fix: Looks like we had some syntax errors in our examples in the documentation for the wmi resource, which Jeff Brimager pointed out. A few commas later and all is well!
• Pluralization Matters: Another typo was fixed in the umask example.
• Present and Accounted: On MacOS, the group resource was not working correctly as it under-reported membership. That has been fixed. So if you are on MacOS, you are now a staff member. Congratulations!

Backward Incompatibilities

• No Longer Available: We have dropped support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11, which was EOL’d as of March 31, 2019.
• Tidying Up: The inspec-core gem, a distribution with fewer dependencies and no need for compilers, will no longer include WinRM functionality. This change does not impact most users of Chef InSpec, only those who use the specialized inspec-core version. If you need WinRM functionality, install the train-winrm gem, but please note that winrm support requires a compiler to install.

Chef InSpec 4.11.3

This release does not have any release notes.

Chef InSpec 4.10.4

New Features

• Structure Enhancement: The Habitat plugin now uses scaffolding, which allows users to follow current best practices. When you run inspec habitat profile create now, the templates will be sourced from the Habitat scaffolding for InSpec rather than the older unmaintained templates in Chef InSpec itself.

Improvements

• Finally!: Relative path support added for specifying a path to a profile in a Git repo. This means that you can organize multiple profiles into one git repo, and select an individual profile from any subdirectory in the git repo.
• Simmer Down: inspec version no longer checks and reports against rubygems.org versions. The version check no longer talks on the network. This makes the version check much faster, less likely to cause a failure under CI, and also less surprising behavior.

Bug Fixes

• More than One: The windows_task resource now handles multiple triggers.

Chef InSpec 4.7.24

New Features

• Sweet: The sys_info resource features two new properties - manufacturer and model - which let you determine information about the hardware being inspected.

Improvements

• Lights Out: The service resource no longer issues a deprecation warning when the should be_running matcher is used. There are no plans to remove this matcher in the foreseeable future. Thank you to users for their feedback on this!

Bug Fixes

• The Need For Speed: When installing plugins, the installer no longer tries to extract documentation from the underlying libraries, a process which usually failed in the past. This change makes plugin installation much faster, more stable, and requires less disk space.
• Painted: Chef InSpec properly handles and reports exceptions with mutually incompatible resources and transports. For example: Using a file resource on the aws transport.

Chef InSpec 4.7.18

Improvements

• For inspec-aws users, the release process for the inspec-aws resource pack changed:

This release begins the full naming convention of the inspec-aws project at 1.0.1. No breaking changes are present. To date, the project has been unversioned with many releases labeled as version 0.1.0 in the inspec.yml, so we are starting fresh at 1.0.0.

Because inspec-aws has critical gem dependencies on Chef InSpec, it is important to use a version of inspec-aws that is compatible with a minimum version of Chef InSpec. This release requires Chef InSpec 4.7.x, and is likely to work with Chef InSpec 4.x.
