Upgrading to DefectDojo Version 1.7.0

What's New:

• Updated search, you can now search for CVE-XXXX-YYYY
• Updated search index, fields added to index: 'id', 'title', 'cve', 'url', 'severity', 'description', 'mitigation', 'impact', 'steps_to_reproduce', 'severity_justification', 'references', 'sourcefilepath', 'sourcefile', 'hash_code', 'file_path', 'component_name', 'component_version', 'unique_id_from_tool'

Upgrading to 1.5.0 requirements:

1. Back up your database first, ideally take the backup from production and test the upgrade on a staging server.

2. Edit the settings.py file which can be found in django-DefectDojo/dojo/settings/settings.py. Copy in the rest framework configuration after the CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE = True:

   REST_FRAMEWORK = {
       'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
           'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
           'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication',
       ),
       'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
           'rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissions',
       ),
       'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
           'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
       ),
       'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'rest_framework.pagination.LimitOffsetPagination',
       'PAGE_SIZE': 25
   }
   

Navigate to: LOGIN_EXEMPT_URLS and add the following after r'^%sfinding/image/(?P<token>[^/]+)$' % URL_PREFIX:

r'^%sfinding/image/(?P<token>[^/]+)$' % URL_PREFIX,
r'^%sapi/v2/' % URL_PREFIX,

Navigate to: INSTALLED_APPS and add the following after: 'multiselectfield',:

'multiselectfield',
'rest_framework',
'rest_framework.authtoken',
'rest_framework_swagger',
'dbbackup',

Navigate to: CELERY_TASK_IGNORE_RESULT = True and add the following after CELERY_TASK_IGNORE_RESULT line:

CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'db+sqlite:///dojo.celeryresults.sqlite'

Save your modified settings file. For reference the modified file should look like the new 1.5.0 [settings](https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/blob/master/dojo/settings/settings.dist.py) file, minus the environmental configurations. As an alternative this file can be used and the enviromental configurations from you environment can be copied into this file.

3. Activate your virtual environment and then upgrade the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

4. Upgrade the database:

   ./manage.py makemigrations
   ./manage.py migrate
   

5. Collect the static files (Javascript, Images, CSS):

   ./manage.py collectstatic --noinput
   

6. Complete
