[xwiki-users] store.xwiki.com - domain reported and verified as serving malware by CISCO
Hi, when checking for extension updates in xwiki administration, the extension updater lists some errors. After some investigation, I've found that xwiki is trying to call some REST api pointing to url like this: https://store.xwiki.com/xwiki/rest/repository/extensions/[URL_ENDING_PART] where the [URL_ENDING_PART] was one of the following examples found in the log: - com.google.code.findbugs%3Aannotations/versions/api - org.xwiki.platform%3Axwiki-platform-blog-ui/versions?requireTotalHits=true&start=0&number=-1 - org.xwiki.contrib.ldap%3Aldap-authenticator/versions?requireTotalHits=true&start=0&number=-1 The reason for the above listed https calls is due to our proxy that is inspecting every outgoing communication and has denied the requests to store.xwiki.com. The proxy uses CISCO list of untrusted web sites which says this: Reason: BLOCK-MALWARE Threat Type: othermalware Threat Reason: Domain reported and verified as serving malware. Identified as malicious IP. Identified as malicious domain or URL. Notification: WBRS Can be this domain trusted or not? Is it a false threat or not? Is it legal when xwiki calls the API at https://store.xwiki.com? Thank you

Is it can be trusted and it’s legal. Our governance at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Governance allows the top sponsoring company to list its extension repository in the xwiki configuration by default (you can override this if you wish in your xwiki.properties file, search for the extension.repositories property). FYI ATM the top sponsoring company is XWiki SAS (http://xwiki.com), see https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Supporters/SponsoringCompanies/. It currently provides two paying extensions that are advertised on http://extensions.xwiki.org/ in the “Sponsored Extensions” section. Thanks -Vincent
Thank you
