WebGoat release notes

Version 2023.3

With great pleasure, we present you with a new release of WebGoat 2023.3. Finally, it has been a while. This year starts with a new release of WebGoat. This year we will undoubtedly release more often. From this release on, we began to use a new versioning scheme (https://calver.org/#scheme).

A big thanks to René Zubcevic and Àngel Ollé Blázquez for keeping the project alive this last year, and hopefully, we can make many more releases this year.

New functionality

  • New year's resolution(2022): major refactoring of WebGoat to simplify the setup and improve building times.
  • Move away from multi-project setup:
    • This has a huge performance benefit when building the application. Build time locally is now Total time: 42.469 s (depends on your local machine of course)
    • No longer add Maven dependencies in several places
    • H2 no longer needs to run as separate process, which solves the issue of WebWolf sharing and needing to configure the correct database connection.
  • More explicit paths in html files to reference adoc files, less magic.
  • Integrate WebWolf in WebGoat, the setup was way too complicated and needed configuration which could lead to mistakes and a not working application. This also simplifies the Docker configuration as there is only 1 Docker image.
  • Add WebWolf button in WebGoat
  • Move all lessons into src/main/resources
  • WebGoat selects a port dynamically when starting. It will still start of port 8080 it will try another port to ease the user experience.
  • WebGoat logs URL after startup: Please browse to http://127.0.0.1:8080/WebGoat to get started...
  • Simplify Dockerfile as we no longer need a script to start everything
  • Maven build now start WebGoat jar with Maven plugin to make sure we run against the latest build.
  • Added Initializable interface for a lesson, an assignment can implement this interface to set it up for a specific user and to reset the assignment back to its original state when a reset lesson occurs. See BlindSendFileAssignment for an example.
  • Integration tests now use the same user. This saves a lot of time as before every test used a different user which triggered the Flyway migration to set up the database schema for the user. This migration took a lot of time.
  • Updated introduction lesson to WebWolf.
  • Added language switch for support for multiple languages.
  • Removed logic to start WebGoat on a random port when port 8080 is taken. We would loop until we found a free port. We simplified this to just start on the specified port.
  • Add Google formatter for all our code, a PR now checks whether the code adheres to the standard.
  • Renaming of all packages and folders.
  • #1039 New OWASP Top 10
  • #1065 New lesson about logging
