App-Deployment Configuration

App-Deployment Configuration File

A configuration file named install.json is used for ThreatConnect apps written in:

  • Python

  • Java®

  • JavaScript® (Spaces)

Standard Section

The Standard section defines required and optional properties of all Apps in ThreatConnect. The required properties are properties that must be provided for any packaged App installed through the ThreatConnect platform. The optional properties provide additional information based on the type of target App.

The table below lists all of the properties of the Standard section.

allowOnDemand

Required property that allows or disallows an App to be run on demand using the Run Now button when the App is configured as a Job in the ThreatConnect platform. This property only applies to Python and Java Apps.

apiUserTokenParam

Optional property that specifies whether or not the App should use an API user token (which allows access to the datastore)

displayName

Required property providing the name of the App as it will appear in the ThreatConnect platform

languageVersion

Optional property used solely for tracking purposes. It does not affect the version of Python or Java used by the Job Execution Engine to run the App.

listDelimiter

Optional property that sets the character used to delimit the values of Select Many Attributes that are passed into an App

minServerVersion

Optional string property restricting the ThreatConnect instance from installing the App if it does not meet this version requirement. The notation is <major>.<minor>.<patch> (e.g., 5.4.0).

note

Optional property available in Playbook Apps under the ?” tooltip when the App parameters are being edited. Use this field to describe the purpose of the app in two-three sentences.

programIcon

Optional property providing the icon that will be used to represent Central Spaces Apps

programLanguage

Required property describing the language runtime environment used by the ThreatConnect Job Executor. It is relevant for Apps that run on the Job Execution Engine (Python and Java Apps) and can be set to NONE for Spaces Apps.

programMain

Required property providing the entry point into the App. For Python Apps, it is the name of the .py file (or exclude the extension if running it as a module). For Java Apps, it is the main class the Job Execution Engine should use when calling the App using the Java Runtime Environment.

programVersion

Required property providing the version number for the App that will be displayed in the Installed Apps section available to a System Administrator. ThreatConnect recommends the use of Semantic Versioning. The Semantic Version notation is <major>.<minor>.<patch> (e.g., 1.0.1).

publishOutFiles

Optional field available for job-style Apps that can be scheduled to serve files. If this array is populated, the App is responsible for writing the files to the relative tc_output_path parameter that is passed in. This will enable HTTP-based file serving of these files as a unique URL available to the user in ThreatConnect. This parameter accepts an array of strings and can include file globs.

repeatingMinutes

Optional property that provides a list of minute increments to display in the Repeat Every… section in the Schedule panel of the Job Wizard. This property is relevant only for Python and Java Apps for which the developer wants to control how frequently an App can be executed. If this property is not defined, the default listing is as follows: [60, 120, 240, 360, 720] .

runtimeContext

Optional property enabling Spaces Apps to be context aware. (Context-aware Spaces Apps can be added to the Details screen of an object in the ThreatConnect platform.) Because this property is an array of strings, the App can be displayed in Spaces under multiple contexts within the ThreatConnect platform, including the Menu and Search screens. This property is only relevant to Spaces Apps.

Note

Context-aware Spaces Apps are passed contextual information via the URL query string when the App is displayed in the ThreatConnect platform. The details of those parameters are bewyond the scope of this document.

The available runtime contexts are:

  • Address

  • Adversary

  • ASN

  • Campaign

  • CIDR

  • Document

  • Email

  • EmailAddress

  • Event

  • File

  • Host

  • Incident

  • IntrusionSet

  • Menu

  • Mutex

  • RegistryKey

  • Report

  • Search

  • Signature

  • Tag

  • Threat

  • URL

  • UserAgent

  • Victim

runtimeLevel

Required property which dictates how the app is used within the ThreatConnect platform, as detailed in the table below.

Value

Description

Organization

This value is a Python or Java App that is run by the Job Execution Engine. This type of app must be provisioned to specific organizations (or Allow All Orgs must be selected) by the System Administrator. Once provisioned, the App can be scheduled to run as part of a Job.

SpaceOrganization

This value is a Spaces App that is run within ThreatConnect as a Space. This type of App must be provisioned to specific organizations (or Allow All Orgs must be selected) by the System Administrator. Once provisioned, the App can be added as a Spaces App by any user belonging to the Organization.

System

Although not commonly used, a System-level App is a Python or Java App that is strictly visible by the System Administrator. This App can be scheduled only in a System Job.

indicatorLimit

Optional property that sets the Indicator limit

jobFile

Optional property that providea the name of the JSON file that is used to set up and run the Job that pulls in content from the feed

sourceCategory

Optional property that specifies how the source should be categorized

sourceDescription

Optional property that provides the source’s description as it will appear in ThreatConnect

sourceName

Optional property that provides the name of the source in which the feed’s content will be created

Parameter Array Section

The Parameter Array section of the install.json file is the mechanism used by the Job Execution Engine and the Spaces framework to pass configuration data at runtime. For Java and Python Apps, the entries defined in this section dictate the Parameters panel of the Job Wizard in the ThreatConnect platform. Spaces Apps have their own configuration screen as part of the user’s Space for each App.

Note

In Python, parameters are called by using the –param <value> syntax handled by the argparse library. For Java Apps, the System-environment arguments are passed by using the -Dparam=<value> syntax. Discussion of App argument parsing is beyond the scope of this document.

The table below highlights the Parameter array properties (the params array).

allowMultiple

The value of this optional property is automatically set to true if the MultiChoice type is used. If a String type is used, this flag allows the user to define multiple values in a single input field delimited by a pipe (“|”) character.

default

Optional property that is the default value pre-populated for new Jobs or Spaces. The purpose of a default value is to provide the user with a guidance while allowing edits based on preference.

encrypt

Optional property that designates a parameter as an encrypted value. Parameters defined as encrypted will be managed by the Keychain feature that encrypts password while at rest. This flag should be used with the String type and will render a password input textbox in the Job and Spaces configuration.

hidden

If this optional property is set to true, this parameter will be hidden from the Job Wizard. Hidden parameters allow the developer to persist parameters between Job executions without the need to render the values in the Job Wizard. This option is valid only for Python and Java Apps. Further details on persisting parameters directly from the app are beyond the scope of this document.

label

Required property providing a description of the parameter displayed in the ThreatConnect platform Job Wizard or Spaces Configuration dialog box

name

Required property that is the internal parameter name taken from the Job Wizard and passed to the App at runtime. It is the effective command-line argument name passed to the App.

note Parameter

Optional parameter-description field available in Playbook Apps under the ? tooltip when the App parameters are being edited. Use this field to describe the purpose of the parameter in two-three sentences.

PlaybookDataType

Optional property restricting the data type of incoming Playbook variables. This is different than the type property that controls the UI input type. The PlaybookDataType can be any standard or custom type and is expected to be an array of strings.

As of ThreatConnect 5.4, the standard Playbook types supported by the Python and Java SDK are:

  • String

  • StringArray

  • Binary

  • BinaryArray

  • KeyValue

  • KeyValueArray

  • TCEntity

  • TCEntityArray

  • TCEnhancedEntity

  • TCEnhancedEntityArray

required

Optional property designating this parameter as a required field that must be populated to save the Job or Playbook App

sequence

Optional number used to control the ordering of the parameters in the Job Wizard or Spaces Configuration dialog box. If it is not defined, the order of the parameters in the install.json file is used.

type

Required property to enable the UI to display relevant components and allow the Job Executor to adapt how parameters are passed to an App at runtime. The table below lists the available types and how they affect elements within the platform.

Type

Description

String

This type renders an HTML Input textbox in the Job Wizard or Spaces Configuration dialog box. This allows the user to enter free-form text as a parameter. Values are passed as a String to Python and Java Apps.

Choice

This type renders an HTML Select option in the Job Wizard or Spaces Configuration dialog box. This allows the user to select predefined text values as a parameter. (See the description of the validValues” string array property in 3.) Values are passed as a String to Python and Java Apps.

MultiChoice

This type renders an HTML Multi-Checkbox Select option in the Job Wizard or Spaces Configuration dialog box. This allows the user to select multiple predefined text values as a parameter. (See the description of the validValues string array property in 3.) The same parameter is passed multiple times for a Python App. Python Apps should use the argparse action=’append’ option to receive the parameters as an array. Java and Spaces Apps will receive the parameter as a single value separated by a pipe character. Values are passed as a String to Python and Java Apps. This selection must be used together with the allowMultiple flag defined as true.

Boolean

This type renders an HTML Checkbox option in the Job Wizard or Spaces Configuration dialog box. This allows the user to turn on a flag as a parameter. Values are passed as a –flag style parameter to Python Apps. (See the action=’store_true’ option in the argparse module.) Java and Spaces Apps receive the actual Boolean value true or false. These Apps should parse the string to resolve the Boolean flag value.

validValues

Optional property to be used with the Choice and MultiChoice types to restrict the possible values a user can select. For example, to define a loggingLevel parameter, this field could have the following values: [“CRITICAL”, “ERROR”, “WARN”, “INFO”, “DEBUG”, “TRACE”].

viewRows

Optional property for Playbook Apps to control the height of the display in the input parameter, and it expects an integer value. A value of 1 is default (and will show a text input element) and anything greater than 1 displays a textarea input when editing the Playbook App in ThreatConnect.

name

TRUE

String

type

TRUE

String

Output Variable Name

Required property that provides the name of the output variable that is accessible to downstream Apps

Output Variable Type

Required property that specifies the type of the output variable. The valid types are:

  • Binary

  • BinaryArray

  • KeyValue

  • KeyValueArray

  • String

  • StringArray

  • TCEntity

  • TCEntityArray

retry

Optional retry property that can be used to allow a Playbook to retry its execution in case of failure

Property

Required?

Allowed Values

allowed

FALSE

Boolean

defaultDelayMinutes

FALSE

Integer

defaultMaxRetries

FALSE

Integer

allowed

Optional property that specifies whether or not the Playbook App can retry its execution

defaultDelayMinutes

Optional property that specifies the number of minutes between each new retry in case of failure. This property assumes that the allowed property is set true to allow the App to retry.

defaultMaxRetries

Optional property that specifies the maximum number of times the Playbook App can retry in case of failure. This property assumes that the allowed property is set true to allow the app to retry

Variable Expression

The variable-expression feature enables developers to reference $ style variables in the install.json file and have the ThreatConnect platform resolve the values when displayed in the Job Wizard or Spaces Configuration dialog box. The external-variables component can go one step further by resolving the value at the time a Job executes. Variable expressions are allowed only in the params section of the install.json file.

Internal Variables

Internal variables are predefined (reserved) variables that can be explicitly declared in the install.json file. Apps declaring these variables direct the Job Wizard and Spaces Configuration dialog box to convert the variables into literal values. Internal variables should be used only with the Choice and MultiChoice types. They should be defined in the validValues property.

Example of a validValues parameter definition:

{
   "name": "owner",
   "label": "Owner",
   "type": "Choice",
   "validValues": ["${OWNERS}"]
}

The variables listed in the table below are internal variables understood by the ThreatConnect platform.

Variable

Resolves As Type

Example of Usage

Description

OWNERS

String Array

["${OWNERS}"]

The OWNERS variable resolves to the available owners to which the current user has access. Since this determination is dynamically resolved at runtime, the owners rendered depend on the user. This variable is useful when an App needs to have a defined owner passed as a parameter. The string value of the owner(s) is passed as an argument to the App.

ATTRIBUTES

String Array

["${ATTRIBUTES}"] or ["${ATTRIBUTES:<type>}"]

The ATTRIBUTES variable resolves to available Attributes in the current organization. This variable has a second, optional component, :<type>, that further refines the attributes resolved to the specific Indicator or Group type (e.g., [“${ATTRIBUTES:Address}”]). The string value of the Attribute(s) is passed as an argument to the App.

INDICATORS

String Array

["${INDICATOR_TYPES}"]

The INDICATOR_TYPES variable resolves to all of the Indicator types available in the given instance of ThreatConnect. The string value of the Indicator type(s) is passed as an argument to the app.

When the $ATTRIBUTES internal variable is used with a :<type> suffix, the type can be any of the Indicator, Group, Task, or Victim types in the ThreatConnect platform:

  • Address: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Address}"]

  • Adversary: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Adversary}"]

  • ASN: ["${ATTRIBUTES:ASN}"]

  • Campaign: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Campaign}"]

  • CIDR: ["${ATTRIBUTES:CIDR}"]

  • Document: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Document}"]

  • Email: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Email}"]

  • EmailAddress: ["${ATTRIBUTES:EmailAddress}"]

  • Event: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Event}"]

  • File: ["${ATTRIBUTES:File}"]

  • Host: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Host}"]

  • Incident: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Incident}"]

  • IntrusionSet: ["${ATTRIBUTES:IntusionSet}"]

  • Mutex: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Mutex}"]

  • RegistryKey: ["${ATTRIBUTES:RegistryKey}"]

  • Report: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Report}"]

  • Adversary: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Adversary}"]

  • Signature: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Signature}"]

  • Task: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Task}"]

  • Threat: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Threat}"]

  • URL: ["${ATTRIBUTES:URL}"]

  • UserAgent: ["${ATTRIBUTES:URL}"]

  • Victim: ["${ATTRIBUTES:Victim}"]

External Variables

External variables offer the user an additional level of convenience by directing the Job Wizard and Spaces Configuration dialog box to take advantage of the Variables feature.

Note

The Variables feature in the ThreatConnect platform allows any user to create variable key/value pairs. Once created, these values can be selected by the user in the Job Wizard or Spaces Configuration dialog box to reduce the need to copy and paste keys and plain-text data.

The table below lists the valid the available variable types within the platform.

Variable Type

Description

TEXT

This variable type is used to store non-sensitive information such as a username or email address to be used when authenticating with a 3rd party API.

KEYCHAIN

This variable type is used to store sensitive information such as a password or API Key to be used when authenticating with a 3rd party API.

FILE

This variable type is used to store sensitive files such as an SSH Key

Since the variable names are not known by the App developer, the generic form of the variables is referenced instead in a <level:type> format.

For example, to allow users to select one of their plain-text (TEXT) variables from Organization and User levels, the install.json file would reference them as follows:

"validValues": ["${USER:TEXT}", "${ORGANIZATION:TEXT}"]

Another example, to allow users to select one of their encrypted (KEYCHAIN) variables from Organization and User levels, the install.json file would reference them as follows:

"validValues": ["${USER:KEYCHAIN}", "${ORGANIZATION:KEYCHAIN}"]

The left-hand component of the variable is the level. The level can be any of the options listed in the table below.

Level Option

Description

User

This option displays the list of the user’s variables in the Job Wizard or Spaces Configuration dialog box.

Organization

This option displays the list of organization variables available to the current user in the Job wizard or Spaces Configuration dialog box.

System

This option displays the list of System variables available to the current user in the Job Wizard or Spaces Configuration dialog box.

Multiple external-variable expressions can be included in string array form.

Line Number

Description

2

The programVersion is 1.0.0. This value is rendered in the Apps listing for System Administrators.

4

The programMain will direct the Job Executor to run this App as a main module.

6

The runtimeLevel for this App is Organization. This App will allow Jobs to be configured only for an organization (assuming that the System Administrator has provisioned the organization).

8

This line is the start of the params array. The contents in this array are solely for parameter definitions.

9–13

This parameter describes the api_access_id argument for the App. The App will be passed an argument called –api_access_id at execution time. The label in the Job Wizard will be Local ThreatConnect API Access ID. Since the sequence is defined as 1, this parameter will be the first parameter displayed in the Job Wizard. This parameter is required, and the user can benefit from user- and organization-level plain-text variables, if defined. Otherwise, the user is allowed to enter free-form text (the default type if no variables are defined).

35–40

This parameter describes the remote_api_secret_key argument for the App. The App will be passed an argument called –remote_api_secret_key at execution time. The label in the Job Wizard will be Remote ThreatConnect API Secret Key. This parameter will be the fifth parameter in the Job Wizard Parameters panel. Since the parameter is set to encrypt, the input field will be displayed as a password with a masked value. Encrypted parameters will also be stored in encrypted form in the database. At runtime, the decrypted password will be passed to the App. Finally, the user can benefit from user- and organization-level keychain variables, if defined. Otherwise, the user is allowed to enter free-form password text.

65–68

This parameter describes the apply_threat_assess_confidence Boolean argument for the App. The App will be passed an argument called –apply_threat_assess_confidence at execution time, only if the user selects this value in the Job Wizard. The Job Wizard will display a label called Apply ThreatAssessRating from Remote Owner, along with a checkbox. The argparse style flag (without an argument) and the checkbox displayed in the Job Wizard are dictated by the Boolean type in the parameter definition. This parameter will be the eigth parameter in the Job Wizard Parameters panel.

98–103

This parameter describes the logging argument for the App. The App will be passed a parameter named –logging with a string argument. The Logging Level label will be displayed in the Job Wizard. This parameter will be the sixteenth (and last) parameter in the Job Wizard Parameters panel. The type for this parameter is Choice, and the definition dictates that a valid value for this parameter is one of debug, info, warning, error, or critical. The user will not be able to edit this drop-down list, and the default value for new Jobs will be logging-level info.
