We have recently become aware of a security vulnerability in the Apache Struts web framework used in the caIntegrator web application. Due to this vulnerability, we have taken down the public NCI instance of caIntegrator and we are upgrading to Struts version 2.3.15.1 which addresses the issue. We will make this patch available to the community as soon as we have completed development and testing, anticipated by August 30, 2013. Until this patch is available, we recommend that you disable access to caIntegrator outside of your firewall. |

caIntegrator is a web-based software application that allows researchers to set up custom, caBIG®-compatible web portals to conduct integrative research, with no programming experience required. These portals bring together heterogeneous clinical, microarray and medical imaging data to enrich multidisciplinary research. |
Using caIntegrator, researchers can execute, save and share queries to identify and collect many types of data, combining clinical information with genetic and genomic data to enable multidimensional analysis.
caIntegrator uses caGrid analytical services such as GenePattern and BioConductor to perform analysis on the integrated study data, including clinical survival data. caIntegrator leverages the Cancer Data Standards Registry and Repository (caDSR) to map experimental data to well-defined datatypes and uses caGrid and Java client APIs to access data from caBIG® applications such as caArray and the National Biomedical Imaging Archive (NBIA). caIntegrator is also integrated with caBIO to perform queries on genes and pathways. caIntegrator has visualization capabilities for copyNumber and Expression data. It integrates well with Heatmap viewer and Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV).
caIntegrator is an open-source, web-based J2EE Java application employing Spring, Struts 2 and Hibernate technologies. Full installation requires installation of JBoss 4.0.5; MySQL 5.0.45; ANT (Apache); JDK 1.5.
