cocoapods-blacklist

A CocoaPods plugin used to check a project against a list of pods that you do not want included in your build. Security is the primary use, but keeping specific pods that have conflicting licenses is another possible use.

We use this in our continuous integration builds. If a security issue is found with a pod, we can update our blacklist.json file and builds will start to fail immediately. Developers don't always read the email about a new vulnerability. They definitely notice when the build fails. :smile:

Installation

$ gem install cocoapods-blacklist

Usage

$ pod blacklist [LOCKFILE] --config=BLACKLIST_CONFIG

The LOCKFILE is optional, and ./Podfile.lock is assumed if one is not explicitly passed in.

Blacklist config file

The blacklist config file is a JSON file that has an array of pods, each one containing a hash with:

• name: the same string you would use to include a pod in a Podfile
• versions: a version string (or array of version strings) used to match the version
• reason: a string used to explain why a pod is blacklisted, will be printed out when a check fails

ods":[
{
  "name":"FooKit",
  "reason":"FooKit 1.2.2 did not check passwords on Thursdays",
  "versions":"1.2.2"
},
{
  "name":"BananaKit",
  "reason":"Vulnerable to code injection with malformed BQL queries",
  "versions":[">=3.4.2", "<3.6.0"]
}
