plugin-trust

Verify the authenticity of a plugin being installed with plugins:install.

This plugin is bundled with the Salesforce CLI. For more information on the CLI, read the getting started guide.

We always recommend using the latest version of these commands bundled with the CLI, however, you can install a specific version or tag if needed.

Allowlisting

If a plugin needs to be installed in a unattended fashion as is the case with automation. The plugin acceptance prompt can be avoided by placing the plugin name in $HOME/.config/sf/unsignedPluginAllowList.json

[
    "@salesforce/npmName",
    "plugin2",
    ...
]

If a plugin is not signed you then won't get a prompt confirming the installation of an unsigned plugin. Instead you'll get a message stating that the plugin was allowlisted and the installation will proceed as normal.

Additional Verification Information

In addition to signature verification additional checks are in place to help ensure authenticity of plugins.

DNS - The public key url and signature urls must have an https scheme and originate from developer.salesforce.com Cert Pinning - The digital fingerprint of developer.salesforce.com's certificate is validated. This helps prevent man in the middle attacks.

To use your plugin, run using the local ./bin/dev or ./bin/dev.cmd file.

# Run using local run file.

There should be no differences when running via the Salesforce CLI or using the local run file. However, it can be useful to link the plugin to do some additional testing or run your commands from anywhere on your machine.

# Link your plugin to the sfdx cli
sfdx plugins:link .
