During July and August 2025, Ples contributed to the wazuh/wazuh-indexer repository by focusing on backend stability, security, and deployment reliability. Ples upgraded cryptographic dependencies, including BouncyCastle modules and password4j, to reinforce data protection and maintain compliance with security standards. In addition, Ples modernized the build system by upgrading Gradle to 8.14.3, ensuring stable builds and streamlined dependency management. Addressing operational issues, Ples resolved SOCKS5 proxy authentication failures for Azure storage by correctly configuring credential handling. The work demonstrated depth in Java and Gradle, with a strong emphasis on build management, CI/CD workflows, and secure cloud storage integration.

August 2025 monthly highlights for wazuh-indexer. Key value delivered: build stability and deployment reliability improved through a Gradle upgrade and a fix for Azure proxy authentication. 1) Build System Upgrade: Gradle 8.14.3 upgraded across configuration files, CI workflows, and wrapper to ensure stable builds and up-to-date dependency management. 2) Major bug fix: SOCKS5 proxy authentication for Azure repositories resolved by correctly configuring username/password, eliminating connection failures when authentication is required. Overall impact: reduced build and deployment friction, fewer Azure access failures, and faster iteration cycles. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Gradle modernization, CI/CD governance, SOCKS5 proxy handling, Azure storage access, and secure credential configuration.

July 2025 (wazuh/wazuh-indexer): Delivered security-focused dependency updates to cryptographic libraries, reinforcing data protection and compatibility with security standards. Upgraded BouncyCastle modules (bctls-fips, bcpkix-fips, bcpg-fips) and password4j to their latest stable versions, captured in commit 54b8f05fbae6768c9015ce14c07b14d5f8527090 ("Bump BouncyCastle and password4j"). This change reduces the vulnerability surface, supports newer TLS/crypto capabilities, and aligns with internal security policies. No major bugs were reported this month; the focus was on proactive maintenance and security hardening.
