Evidence pack takes ?from=&to= (inclusive, Eastern time) with From/To
pickers and quick ranges; ZIP is named ENT-056_<site>_<from>_to_<to>.
Month keys show as 'September 2026'. Hardware gap rows on the to-do
use the shared one-line grid with chips for the missing pack or BIOS.
Blocker
- /reports/export returned 500: REPORT_EXPORT_RANGES and _months_ago were
deleted with the old reports route. Restored.
Major
- A session without stage_index/stage_total took down /, /imaging and
/imaging/tiles (int filter on Undefined). The templates default both;
saving a LAPS password for a session that no longer exists is refused
(it created a bare session).
- /reports/todo parsed every report four times (23 s at 700 reports).
blancco_report.parse() now caches by path, mtime and size: 0.09 s.
- Stored XSS through the session serial in the Clear confirm (the
browser decodes ' before running an inline handler). The message
moves to data-confirm, and update_session() only accepts serials of
letters, digits, '.', '_' and '-' (400 from /imaging/status otherwise).
- Reports without a document id and with odd characters in the file name
got a key the mark routes rejected, so they could never be cleared.
report_key() now always produces a valid key.
Minor
- failure_note() handles a list-valued erasure target (500 on the report
and to-do pages).
- _recently_marked() tolerates naive, 'Z' and non-dict state entries.
- Key regexes use fullmatch (a trailing newline was accepted).
- Unreadable reports are no longer counted as to tick / to destroy; the
reports page already flags them as Unreadable.
- Rollback review recounts restorable files after reading the backups.
- Enrollment: the startnet fallback package (no or empty ppkg.conf) and a
quoted SOURCE_PPKG are protected too.
- Backup upload overwrite check is case-insensitive (SMB share) and
replaces the existing file rather than adding a case twin.
- Overview polling keeps the last good rows on an error and pauses while
the tab is hidden. A shown or typed LAPS password survives the floor's
refresh.
- hardware_dismiss only redirects to same-site paths; tiles ?limit is
clamped; the Updates overview survives an unreadable Dell scan or iPXE
state; describe() uses aversion(); a client cannot label its session
'inferred'.
Reports (/reports):
- Grouped by month of the erasure date inside each report (not the file
date), newest first; older months fold. Each month header shows the
evidence pack state (builds on the 1st, to upload with Download, or
uploaded).
- One line per report: erasure date, system serial, model, drives,
result ('Successful, fallback' when a failed attempt fell back to
another standard), cloud and ServiceNow state. The row body lists every
drive and erasure attempt with the failure reason.
- Search by system serial, model, drive serial or file; filters for
failed, not in cloud and to tick. 'To tick' uses the to-do's 30-day
window; older unticked reports read 'Not ticked'.
- Export and the evidence pack download moved into header popovers.
Report (/reports/view/<file>):
- Header with serial, model and the per-drive result; a notice names
the drive to destroy until its COD is recorded; Copy ServiceNow note.
- One card per drive with every attempt, a step track and the failure
reason; steps and error counts fold. System, customer and provenance
(integrity signature folded, copyable) on the side. Sizes in decimal
units, as on the list.
- blancco_evidence.failure_note() is shared with the ServiceNow list.
To-do (/reports/todo):
- The ServiceNow tick list is now its first section (period and show
ticked filters); /reports/servicenow redirects there.
- Five counters; one line per item with details in the row body.
- COD recorded, Mark uploaded and Resolved confirm first (the attribute
quoting is safe for JSON) and can be undone for 24 hours from the
page. The header total includes hardware gaps, matching the sidebar.
- Report view: the hero summarised only the first erasure, so a drive whose
Purge failed and Clear fallback succeeded showed Failed while the list said
Successful. It now uses the per-drive outcome (report_result) and lists the
standards that wiped each drive.
- To-do and ServiceNow: reports with no usable document id could never be
ticked or cleared (400). They are now tracked by file name (file:<name>).
- Imaging: the LAPS password field is masked, with a Show/Hide toggle.
- Imaging: succeeded sessions not updated for ACTIVE_WINDOW_HOURS are hidden
from the dashboard (failed and in-progress always stay), with Show all.
- Enrollment: the active SFLD package can no longer be deleted, which left
ppkg.conf pointing at a missing file; its row is marked Active.
- Import: confirm before importing, saying upload-folder sources are moved
and same-name files in the image are overwritten.
Webapp: config.DISPLAY_TZ (default America/New_York) and a local_dt
filter that renders datetimes, ISO strings and Unix timestamps as e.g.
"2026-10-05 13:54 EDT", DST included. Used for the ServiceNow tick list,
technician to-do, imaging tiles and detail page; timestamp_fmt (reports,
backups, enrollment) goes through it too instead of relying on the
process TZ. CSV report_date is Eastern with its offset. Evidence-pack
months are Eastern calendar months, so a wipe late on the 31st lands in
that month rather than the next.
Blancco: init points the new root's /etc/localtime at America/New_York
so the GUI clock is local. Report timestamps keep their explicit
offset; report.utc_offset stays 0 since a fixed offset cannot follow DST.
Report file names stay UTC, as Blancco's own Save names them.
Technician To-Do (sidebar link with a count, and a banner on every page
while anything is open) lists the playbook steps the server cannot do:
1. wipes still to tick on the Onsite Bin RITM (ENT-045/159)
2. monthly evidence packs to upload to Box (ENT-056/158), Mark uploaded
3. drives that failed to wipe, to destroy (COD recorded)
4. reports Blancco could not upload to the cloud (Resolved)
Marks are stored in the Blancco state file; the counts are cached for 60s
and refreshed on every mark, ServiceNow tick and cloud-status post.
Results are now judged per drive. Blancco keeps every attempt in the
report, so a NIST Purge that failed followed by a successful Clear
fallback on the same drive appeared as two entries, and the Reports page
rolled the whole report up to Failed. 20 such wipes since May showed as
Failed; they were wiped (the work instruction counts the fallback as a
success). The CSV marks those rows "Fallback: ... then erased with ...".
One genuine failure remains: HNMD1V3, Seagate Z500R4KG, 2026-08-11.
Automates the Blancco parts of the onsite-support CMMC playbook:
- ENT-056/158 evidence pack: /reports/evidence?month=YYYY-MM returns
ENT-056_<Site>_<YYYY-MM>.zip (summary.csv, README, each report's XML
and PDF). pxe-blancco-evidence.timer saves last month's pack to the
reports share's evidence/ folder on the 1st (Persistent).
- ENT-045/159 ServiceNow tick list: /reports/servicenow lists recent
reports as "Wiped" or "Blancco Wipe failed" with a pre-written
destruction note, copy buttons and Done (CSRF-protected).
- Cloud upload: blancco-progress.py posts each report's upload result
("Sending report document id" -> "Report sent to MC") to
/reports/cloud-status (CSRF-exempt like /imaging/status); the Reports
page and the CSVs show it, so a wipe missing from BMP is visible.
- CSV gains failure_reason (exception messages, failed steps, error
counts), business_location and cloud_upload.
- Preferences: business_location "West Jefferson" (config.BLANCCO_SITE)
and pdf+xml reports; the report copier now copies the PDF too, named
after its XML. .part and hidden files are not listed as reports.
State (cloud confirmations, ServiceNow ticks) is a JSON file at
/var/lib/pxe-webapp/blancco-state.json, off the report share.
