Multi-Tenant release date: May 26, 2024

Maintenance releases

Note

This table includes only the maintenance releases that addressed customer-facing issues. Maintenance releases that contained only internal enhancements are not listed.

Release number

Resolved issues

3.14.13

Permissions related to state changes have been adjusted to avoid confusion.

3.14.15

Solved an issue that caused a SAST scan failure if even one query failed.

3.14.18

If scan results included many High-severity vulnerabilities with at least one Medium-severity vulnerability among them, the Break a build upon violation option did not work as intended in the policy.

3.14.19

When using the Checkmarx One Migration API with a customer's SCM on-prem URL, the provided URL was processed incorrectly. We now use the direct URL received from the request, and the customer is responsible for providing the correct URL.

3.14.20

Users belonging to a specific group couldn't view projects associated with that group.

New features and enhancements

Scan duration time per scanner

The Scan Results UI and API now display the specific scan duration for each scanner instead of the total scan duration for all scanners. This enhancement allows customers to see the scan duration differences between engines, enabling them to adjust scan configurations as needed based on the scan duration.

New roles for updating state and severity results

We have implemented a granular level of access rights by differentiating permissions for updating state results and severity results. As a result, the following new roles are now available:

  • update-result-state-not-exploitable (can change to this state only)

  • update-result-state-propose-not-exploitable (can change to this state only)

  • update-result-states (can change all states except not-exploitable; can’t change the severity)

  • update-result-severity (can change only severities)

  • add-notes (can add, edit, or delete notes).

Note

  • The existing update-results role will continue to work. However, if you want to assign a new role to a user who already has the update-results role, it needs to be unassigned first.

  • The new roles are available in SAST and IaC. Support for these roles in SCA will be added soon.

Executive Overview dashboard improvements

  • Total Open Vulnerabilities per Thousand LOC: Provides a visualization of the trend in vulnerabilities per thousand lines of code (LOC). Offers a quick, at-a-glance understanding of the security posture over time, enabling informed decision-making and timely responses to emerging trends in vulnerabilities.

  • Total Vulnerabilities Fixed by Severity KPI: Provides a visualization of the trend in total vulnerabilities fixed, categorized by severity. Offers a quick, at-a-glance understanding of the security posture over time, enabling informed decision-making and timely responses to emerging trends in vulnerabilities.

  • Vulnerability Density: Shows the number of vulnerabilities per thousand lines of code (kLOC).

New standards for compliance results

Compliance results are now shown for two new standards recently added: PCI DSS version 4 and OWASP Top 10 API 2023.

SAST

The SAST engine in Checkmarx One has been updated to version 9.6.5.

IaC

IaC v2.0.0 has been released with the following new features:

  • Taking scan speed to a whole new level! On average, the Parallel Scan feature cuts scan durations by up to 50%.

  • CWE IDs are now included in the results for Common and Dockerfile queries.

  • New queries have been added for the CloudFormation, Docker Compose, Crossplane, and Pulumi platforms.

  • New exit status code for the Critical severity (60) has been added.

  • Terraformer support has been removed.  

All queries have been reviewed by our AppSec team and several have been deprecated.

SCA

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.

Caution

Versions of SCA Resolver prior to 2.5.15 are no longer supported. Older versions will no longer be able to run Container scans. Download links for newer versions are available here.

We recommend always keeping up to date with the latest version of SCA Resolver, in order to benefit from the latest features as well as ongoing performance improvements and bug fixes.

  • Reports generated via the web application are now generated in the background so that the user can continue working. When the report is ready, the user is prompted to download the report.

  • We improved the content of the scan reports for all formats (PDF, CSV, XML, JSON). The reports now include all relevant data that is available via the web portal, including exploitability indicators and the transitive package paths.

  • You can now generate reports from the Global Inventory screen and filter the report data based on the filters that are applied to the Global Inventory.

  • Added support for .NET 8 for the SCA scanner.
