Bitbucket repository access

This page is a step by step explanation of how to configure the Threat Dragon Web App for access to Atlassian Bitbucket. Most of these steps assume that the Threat Dragon web application is being used for learning or testing purposes, if it is in a production environment then ensure that full security controls are in place for any public accessible or sensitive use.

Note that Bitbucket access is for a specific workspace, in contrast to the much wider GitHub access.

Decide on configuration

There are various configuration parameters that need to be determined at the outset.

The Node environment - is it ‘test’, ‘production’ or ‘development’? Going with ‘development’ because using ‘production’ enforces secure cookies that is not needed here, and ‘test’ alters the functionality from what is being tested.

  • NODE_ENV='development'

Application port number - this defaults to 3000, and it can be mapped to another port when running the docker command. So leave the port at 3000 by not defining it, and then map it to port 8080 using docker.

Server API protocol - this would be set to HTTPS in production, but during development define it as HTTP.

  • SERVER_API_PROTOCOL='http'

Decide which Bitbucket repository workspace is to be accessed, and what scope to apply. For the purposes of this testing a bitbucket repo has been created at https://bitbucket.org/threat-dragon-test/, which gives the workspace name as ‘threat-dragon-test’. Set the workspace name to ‘threat-dragon-test’ and the scope to ‘repository:write’ using:

  • BITBUCKET_SCOPE='repository:write'
  • BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE='threat-dragon-test'

Create three new and different keys for encryption, JWT and JWT-refresh using openssl rand -hex 16 for 256 bit keys. Do not actually use these keys as shown, but here are examples:

  • ENCRYPTION_JWT_REFRESH_SIGNING_KEY='deadbeef00112233445566778899aabb'
  • ENCRYPTION_JWT_SIGNING_KEY='deadbeef112233445566778899aabbcc'
  • ENCRYPTION_KEYS='[{"isPrimary": true, "id": 0, "value": "deadbeef2233445566778899aabbccdd"}]'

Web App Bitbucket Access

The Threat Dragon web application uses an Atlassian OAuth consumer as the mechanism to access the Bitbucket API for the given repository workspace. An OAuth consumer needs to be created for use by the web app to access Bitbucket, and this consumer provides the values BITBUCKET_CLIENT_ID and BITBUCKET_CLIENT_SECRET.

To create the OAuth consumer you need to know the port number and domain of the Threat Dragon application. Here port number 8080 is being used (a decision made in the previous section) and as it is being run locally then the domain will probably be ‘localhost’.

Log into your Bitbucket account and within the workspace navigate to ‘Settings’ (the cog) -> ‘Workspace Settings’ -> ‘Apps and Features’ -> ‘OAuth consumers’ -> ‘Add consumer’

Fill out the form with the following suggested content:

  • Name: a unique identifier for the application. This is not critical, something like ‘Threat Dragon testing’ will do
  • Description: for example ‘Threat Dragon testing for local development’
  • Callback URL: for localhost and port 8080 use http://localhost:8080/api/oauth/return
  • Permissions: as a minimum Read-Only for the Account and Read/Write for Repositories, Projects and Workplace Membership
  • Proceed by saving the OAuth consumer

Note the displayed values for both the Key and the Secret and save these somewhere secure. Treat these values with the same security as a password; they provide access to your Bitbucket account

  • Key will be 20 hexadecimal (10 byte) characters, for example deadbeef0123456789aa used for BITBUCKET_CLIENT_ID
  • Secret will be 32 hexadecimal characters, for example deadbeef0123456789abcdefdeadbeef used for BITBUCKET_CLIENT_SECRET

The Bitbucket OAuth consumer is now ready for use by the Threat Dragon server with values:

  • BITBUCKET_CLIENT_ID='deadbeef0123456789aa'
  • BITBUCKET_CLIENT_SECRET='deadbeef0123456789abcdefdeadbeef'

Example of registering a new OAuth consumer:

And providing a set of minimal permissions for the OAuth consumer:

Bitbucket OAuth permissions

Run from command line

With a minimal set of configuration now available, download the docker image from DockerHub:

  • docker pull owasp/threat-dragon:stable

or if you are running on a MacOS M1 and get “no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries” then try:

  • docker pull --platform linux/x86_64 owasp/threat-dragon:stable

All the information is now ready to try running the server from the command line. Defining the environment variables on the command line is handy for development and debugging, but using the file based configuration is easier (which will be discussed later on).

To use the docker command the Docker daemon must be installed and running on the local machine. During development it is useful to be able to stop the docker container from the command line, and also have the server logs printed to the console, so the docker parameters -it --rm are used.

docker run -it --rm \
-p 8080:3000 \
-e BITBUCKET_CLIENT_ID='deadbeef0123456789aa' \
-e BITBUCKET_CLIENT_SECRET='deadbeef0123456789abcdefdeadbeef' \
-e BITBUCKET_SCOPE='repository:write' \
-e BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE='threat-dragon-test' \
-e ENCRYPTION_JWT_REFRESH_SIGNING_KEY='deadbeef00112233445566778899aabb' \
-e ENCRYPTION_JWT_SIGNING_KEY='deadbeef112233445566778899aabbcc' \
-e ENCRYPTION_KEYS='[{"isPrimary": true, "id": 0, "value": "deadbeef2233445566778899aabbccdd"}]' \
-e NODE_ENV='development' \
-e SERVER_API_PROTOCOL='http' \
owasp/threat-dragon:stable

Note that values for the keys need to be replaced with the values obtained in the previous sections.

If the server container starts up correctly then navigate to http://localhost:8080/#/ to get the main page. With a BITBUCKET_CLIENT_ID set then the ‘Login with Bitbucket’ button is made visible.

If the container does not start then view the logs being dumped to the console, for example if ENCRYPTION_JWT_REFRESH_SIGNING_KEY has not been defined then there will be a log entry:

2023-12-16 08:08:18 ENCRYPTION_JWT_REFRESH_SIGNING_KEY is a required property, Threat Dragon server cannot start without it.
Please see docs/development/environment.md for more information
2023-12-16 08:08:18 OWASP Threat Dragon failed to start

Accessing Bitbucket

From the main Threat Dragon page click on the ‘Login with Bitbucket’ button. If you are not logged in already then Bitbucket will prompt for the user account credentials before allowing access to the workspace.

Once you are logged in then Bitbucket will ask if the Threat Dragon OAuth consumer is allowed to access the repo:

Authorize Bitbucket OAuth consumer

If access is permitted then the main Threat Dragon page is displayed and threat models can be read from and written to the user’s public repositories.

The Threat Dragon web server is now correctly running.

Use environment file

Once the parameters are correct for running the Threat Dragon server, it is useful to provide a file for (most) of the parameters. Here a test environment file test.env has been created:

BITBUCKET_CLIENT_ID='deadbeef0123456789aa'
BITBUCKET_CLIENT_SECRET='deadbeef0123456789abcdefdeadbeef'
BITBUCKET_SCOPE='repository:write'
BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE='threat-dragon-test'
ENCRYPTION_JWT_REFRESH_SIGNING_KEY='deadbeef00112233445566778899aabb'
ENCRYPTION_JWT_SIGNING_KEY='deadbeef112233445566778899aabbcc'
ENCRYPTION_KEYS='[{"isPrimary": true, "id": 0, "value": "deadbeef2233445566778899aabbccdd"}]'
NODE_ENV='development'
SERVER_API_PROTOCOL='http'

This has the added benefit of keeping secrets out of the command line history. The command to run the docker container now becomes:

  • docker run -it --rm -p 8080:3000 -v $(pwd)/test.env:/app/.env owasp/threat-dragon:stable

or if using Windows:

  • docker run -it --rm -p 8080:3000 -v %CD%/test.env:/app/.env owasp/threat-dragon:stable

Ensure that Threat Dragon is running on http://localhost:8080/#/ as expected, and that the Bitbucket workspace is accessible.

Logging to Docker desktop

Once the container is successfully configured it is useful to to run the docker container as a background process and inspect the logs using Docker desktop, rather than have the server logs printed to the console. This is achieved using docker parameter -d :

  • docker run -d -p 8080:3000 -v $(pwd)/test.env:/app/.env owasp/threat-dragon:stable

or if using Windows:

  • docker run -d -p 8080:3000 -v %CD%/test.env:/app/.env owasp/threat-dragon:stable
