Checkmarx SCA Release Notes March 2024

Notice

These release notes relate to the SCA standalone product. Users who consume SCA through Checkmarx One should refer to the Checkmarx One release notes to see which SCA features have been released in Checkmarx One.

Warning

The IgnoreVulnerability and UnignoreVulnerability APIs, which had been used for triaging SCA vulnerabilities, will be deprecated soon. They have been replaced by the new Management of Risk API, which supports applying any Checkmarx One state and adding comments. We recommend migrating to the new API soon.

Warning

For the SCA JFro plugin, version 1.1.9 and below are no longer supported. To continue using this plugin, make sure to upgrade to version 1.1.10.Checkmarx SCA Plugin for JFrogCheckmarx SCA Plugin for JFrog

For the SCA Nexus plugin, version 1.1.5 and below are no longer supported. To continue using this plugin, make sure to upgrade to version 1.1.6.

Risk Management

We have improved the handling of Risk Management for vulnerabilities identified by Checkmarx SCA. You can now change the state of all SCA vulnerabilities and Supply Chain risks to any of the following states: To Verify (default), Not Exploitable, Proposed Not Exploitable, Confirmed or Urgent. Whenever you make a state change you are required to add a comment explaining the rationale behind the change. In addition, there is an option to add a comment without making a state change.

When a state change is made, a red dot next to the Risks tab indicates the need for a recalculation in order to update the risk counters to reflect the changes. State changes are automatically applied to the identical risk if it is identified in subsequent scans of that project.

Support for VB.NET

We expanded our support for Nuget package manager to include VB.NET projects that use *.vbproj manifest files.
