openITCOCKPIT version 5.8.0 has been released!

Security fixes

This release includes important security fixes addressing Container Permission logic issues. An attacker could send malicious container configurations, which would required to restore the container tree from a backup.

WebSocket Event Stream

openITCOCKPIT 5.8.0 now provides a WebSocket Event Stream, allowing real-time access to monitoring events and notifications. This can be particularly useful for automation purposes and is a convenient way to process monitoring events with external tools like Node-RED. Please see the documentation for more details.

openITCOCKPIT version 5.7.0 has been released! Packed with new features, such as grouping for Statuspages, a new host dependency tree, a new WebSocket backend, security updates and much more.

Security fixes

We discovered and fixed several security vulnerabilities. An attacker was able to assign it’s account to another user group which could grant themselves elevated privileges. This affected the Master System and the Satellite Systems. In addition, we improved our Cookie handling. openITCOCKPIT will not enforce SameSite=Lax for cookies.

Dropped Support for Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12 and PHP 8.1

As mentioned in our last blog post we had to drop support for Ubuntu Jammy 22.04, Debian Bookworm 12 and PHP 8.1 in this release. This step is necessary as PHP 8.1 does not get security updates for more than 8 months by the time of writing this blog post. Unfortunately, this means that continuing to support Ubuntu 22.04 until its end of life in April 2027 would hold back the development of openITCOCKPIT for all users.

Please see our official upgrade instructions if you are still using an older release.

• Update Ubuntu Jammy (22.04) to Ubuntu Noble (24.04)
• Upgrade from Debian Bookworm (12) to Debian Trixie (13)

Please notice: Changing the PHP version through a third-party repository is not supported and will break the system.

In case you are using Enterprise Linux (RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux), please see our instructions:

• Updating PHP (Enterprise Linux only)

As mentioned in our previous blog post, we are dropping support for Ubuntu Jammy, Debian Bookworm and PHP 8.1 with the release of openITCOCKPIT 5.7.0. This means that openITCOCKPIT 5.7.0 will not be available for Ubuntu Jammy, Debian Bookworm and PHP 8.1 users. We recommend upgrading to Ubuntu Noble (24.04) or Debian Trixie (13) to continue receiving updates and support for openITCOCKPIT.
