Latest Workflow Models in SharePoint 2010

Site Workflows
Site workflows release workflow developers from requiring a list item or document item to run workflows against. This is useful when the process that the workflow is implementing does not start as a result of a list item or document. This is such a common scenario that developers will create dummy lists and items in order to just to add workflows. In Visual Studio 2010, you simply pick Site Workflow when creating the workflow project item.

Reusable Declarative Workflows
In SharePoint Designer 2010, you can create reusable declarative workflows. In SharePoint 2007, a workflow model created in SharePoint Designer could only be associated with one list. These reusable workflows do not rely on a specific list but can be associated with any list. The workflow design can be reused and associated with multiple lists.

After IBM unearthed vulnerabilities in a 3rd party component of Lotus 1-2-3, IBM released a patch that is used for security flaws in its Lotus Notes that are highly critical.

Core Security Technologies issued a security advisory which says that a buffer overflow is triggered when users open a malicious file attachment as Lotus 1-2-3 tries to process the Lotus Worksheet file format. A malicious attacker could take control of a user’s system via remote, then execute arbitrary code.

Core Advisory noted that “Although these specific vulnerabilities exist on a third-party component, the problem is compounded by the way Lotus Notes displays information about attachments, making it easier to elicit unsuspecting assistance from the users to exploit them.”

As an example, these attackers could send a malicious Lotus 1-2-3 file attachment with a common extension of .jpg or .gif, instead of a MIME Content-type e-mail header.

AppScan, said to be the most mature Web application vulnerability scanner on the market was developed in 2000 as a companion to Sanctum’s AppShield Web application firewall. Now it is owned by IBM, one of the most well-known names in computi. This ia result of the acquisition in July by Big Blue of WatchFire. AppScan’s experience might not be enough as the Ajax applications being fed to their scanners proved to be troublesome, even for long-established products. For IBM, AppScan looks like a sound investment because of the advanced functionality and reliability, the features that were the most successful so far at traversing our Ajax applications.

There were tense moments, though, when they first began scanning one of their sample Ajax apps, the experienc of which seem to be repeating now. AppScan was not able to parse the JavaScript automatically. WatchFire investigated, however, it said that it had no trouble with the application. What gives?

“Attacks will become more sophisticated by combining several services in order to heighten infection ratios and decrease the detection rate, while providing more robust and scalable attack frameworks,” Yuval Ben-Itzhak, chief technology officer, Finjan, said in a news release. “The focus will be on trojan technology as it enables maximum flexibility in terms of command and control. This adds another potentially malicious element to the ‘legitimate’ web traffic that needs to be examined by security solutions.”
