+=== Freshports: SQL Injection Attack and Help Request

+
+FreshPorts and FreshSource have reported upon FreeBSD commits for 20 years. They cover all commits, not just ports.
+
+FreshPorts tracks the commits and extracts data from the port Makefiles to create a database of information useful to both port maintainers and port users.
+
+For example, link:https://www.freshports.org/security/acme.sh/[] shows the history of the package:security/acme.sh[] port, back to its creation in May 2017.
+Also available are dependencies, flavors, configuration options, and available packages.
+All of this is useful for both users and developers of ports.
+
+==== SQL Injection Attack
+
+In March, an SQL injection attack was noticed and the website was patched.
+Notices were sent out via our Twitter account, our status page, and a notice on the top of each page of the website.
+The immediate attack vector was shutdown and soon patched.
+Additional preventative patches were added across the website.
+Everything we know about has been fixed.
+Users were notified and advised to change their passwords.
+
+Details at:

+
+==== Help Needed
+
+It has been over 22 years since FreshPorts started.
+Others must take over eventually.
+I’d like to start that process now.
+There are several aspects to FreshPorts:
+
+* FreeBSD admin (updating the OS and packages)
+* front end code (website - mostly PHP)
+* back end code (commit processing - Perl, Python, shell)
+* database design (PostgreSQL).
+
+The database does not change very often and requires little maintenance compared to the applications and OS.
+The website pretty much runs itself.
+From time to time, a change to the FreeBSD ports infrastructure breaks something or requires a modification, but there is rarely any urgency to fix that.
+This is not a huge time commitment.
+There is a lot of learning.
+While not a complex application, FreshPorts is also not trivial.
