Upcoming Single-Tenant Version | 3.52
New Features and Enhancements
AI Query Builder
The new AI Query Builder helps customers create and refine CxQL queries more quickly and intuitively by leveraging ChatGPT in the Queries Editor.
Use guided example prompts, on-demand regeneration, and easy code copying to customize queries with less effort and fewer errors - improving productivity and reducing time spent on manual query tuning.
Access to this feature is limited to users with Edit Query permissions.
For details, see our documentation.
Custom States for SCA and IaC Security Scanners
We now support custom states for risks identified by the SCA and IaC Security scanners.
For more information about custom states, see our Documentation Portal.
Note
This capability is available for new IAM customers only.
Application Type Classification for Improved Risk Focus
Applications can now be classified as Business or Internal, enabling more accurate risk prioritization.
Internal applications are excluded from meaningful risk impact, reducing noise, while Business applications continue to factor criticality into risk scoring.
This ensures that risk insights and top-risk views focus on applications that truly impact the business.
New Scan Status: Partial
A new Partial scan status has been added to scan history to better reflect scans that produced results but failed later in the process.
Their results remain available for review by downloading the scan log, providing clearer visibility and reducing confusion during scan analysis.
Accessibility Improvements: ADA Severity 1 Compliance
We’ve addressed Severity 1 accessibility issues identified during enterprise validation to improve compliance with ADA and WCAG 2.2 standards.
These fixes focus on critical areas such as keyboard navigation, focus order, and error identification, ensuring the platform is more accessible and usable for all users.
Ignore Images in Cloud Insights
You can now mark container images in the Cloud Insights inventory as Ignored to reduce noise from images that don’t require remediation.
From the inventory table, select one or more images and choose Ignore to hide them from the main view. Ignored images remain accessible through the Show Ignored Images filter, where you can review them and restore them to the inventory at any time.
This helps keep your inventory focused and actionable while preserving full control and visibility.
For more information, see documentation.
Protected Branch Wildcards for PR Scanning
You can now define protected branches using wildcard patterns for pull request scanning.
Instead of listing individual branch names, you can use flexible patterns (e.g., *, release*, *release) to automatically include matching branches.
This reduces manual configuration, improves coverage, and scales easily for repositories with dynamic or convention-based branching strategies.
Include Container Security Results in Reports
Reports now support Container Security scan results.
When generating a project or application report, you can now select the Container Security scanner alongside the existing scanner options. This delivers a unified reporting experience, presenting all scan types in a consistent format and ensuring a single, consolidated view of security insights.
Include Container Security Data in Analytics Dashboards
Analytics dashboards now show metrics from the Container Security scanner.
You can now view container-related findings and KPIs alongside existing analytics data from other scanners. This creates a unified analytics experience, giving you consistent visibility across all supported scan types.
Developer Assist Usage Dashboard
A new Developer Assist Usage dashboard is now available in Analytics (for customers with an AI license). The dashboard introduces multiple KPIs that surface how developers interact with AI-generated remediations, including AI Suggestions, Fix Clicked, and Unique Users. It also includes a donut widget that breaks down Developer Assist usage by scanner, and a bar graph showing real-time vulnerability detection by scanner.
This consolidated view improves transparency and highlights adoption trends without requiring custom reporting.
For more information, see our Documentation Portal.
BYOR Management: Web-Based External Imports
BYOR (Bring Your Own Results) now includes a web-based import experience, making it easier and faster for customers to bring external scan results into Checkmarx One. Users can import SARIF files from the UI, associate them with projects, and track progress and status in real time.
This enhancement improves visibility and enables security teams to review issue counts and severity breakdowns immediately after import.
BYOR Import Management: Import Deletion
Customers can now delete BYOR imports and their associated results. Deletion is available for completed, failed, or canceled imports and can be performed via the UI or API, including bulk deletion where permitted.
BYOR: Vulnerability Author (Blame) Identification
BYOR imports now identify and display the author (blamer) and commit ID for vulnerabilities when this information is provided by external tools. When blame data is unavailable or invalid, the author is shown as N/A.
By parsing blame metadata directly from imported files, customers can see who introduced a vulnerability and in which commit, without relying on additional Git queries.
GitHub App Authentication Support for Code Repository Integrations
Checkmarx One now supports GitHub App–based authentication for code repository integrations as a more secure and modern alternative to Personal Access Tokens and OAuth apps. This update enables short-lived, scoped tokens, automatic token rotation, and granular permission control, significantly reducing the risk of credential leakage and simplifying integration management.
This enhancement also unlocks compatibility with GitHub Enterprise Managed Users (EMU), allowing enterprise customers with strict identity and access controls to integrate GitHub repositories.
For more information, see our Documentation Portal.
IAM: Expanded OAuth Client Character Support
The allowed character set for OAuth client identifiers has been expanded to include the @ character.
Manage Custom States in the UI
You can now create and delete custom states directly from Global Settings in the web application. After a state is defined, it becomes available tenant-wide for vulnerability triage. This streamlines configuration and removes the need to manage custom states through the API.
Note
Supported only for accounts with New Access Management.
For more information about custom states, see our Documentation Portal.
Secret Detection | Scanning Git Commit History
A new Git commit history setting in Settings > Secret Detection lets users control whether Secret Detection scans Git commit history.
When set to true (default: false), Secret Detection scans both the working tree and Git commit history, providing full historical coverage for compliance and deeper analysis.
The setting is available in:
UI (Global and Project Settings)
API (
commitHistory.enabled <true|false>parameter in Secret Detection (SCS) settings)CLI (
--scs-commit-history=<true|false>flag).
Secret Detection | Confluence Scanning (API)
Secret Detection now supports scanning Confluence content via API-triggered scans, with results shown in the Secrets Detection viewer alongside other scan sources.
You can scan individual pages, entire spaces, or all Confluence spaces to identify exposed secrets in collaboration content. Findings include severity, page location, detection context (current or history), and standard remediation guidance.
SCA
New Automated Process to Add CVEs Quickly
In order to speed up the process of adding newly identified CVEs to our database, we have introduced a new automated process that identifies and publishes CVEs in a timely manner. However, this does not replace the need for our AppSec Research team to thoroughly analyze each CVE. Therefore, when the initial automated results are available, we publish the CVE with a note indicating that it is "pending manual review”. Once our AppSec team has completed their manual analysis they publish an updated version of the CVE details in which they correct any imprecise information and add important remarks about their analysis.
Highlighting AppSec Team Remarks
Our AppSec Research team often adds remarks based on their expert analysis. These remarks give important information about exploitability and remediation options. We now highlight these comments by showing them in a separate info box both in the scan results Risk Details page and in our AppSec Knowledge Center.
Additional Package Data in SCA Reports
We added new fields that provide additional information about the packages used in your project. This will help organizations meet regulatory requirements and improve the transparency and security of their software supply chain.
The Packages section of Checkmarx SCA reports now includes Component Description, Component Supplier and Executable Properties fields. And, SBOM reports (CycloneDX and SPDX) now include the Component Description field.
Added Suspected Malware Risks to AppSec Knowledge Center
You can now view Suspected Malware risk information in the AppSec Knowledge Center. It is presented similarly to vulnerabilities. This enables users to learn about specific risks without needing to scan a project with the risky package.
SCA Resolver Update
Download the latest version here.
Version 2.12.41 (January 29, 2026)
Allow password parameter to start with a dash "-"
DAST
Proxy Support for DAST
Added proxy support for DAST, enabling you to scan internal, non‑public, or firewall‑protected applications from the cloud without whitelisting or exposing external IPs. This provides secure, temporary, on‑demand access for full dynamic testing while removing complex firewall configurations and accelerating security validation across cloud‑native and hybrid environments. For more information, see here.
CLI Commands for DAST Environment and Setup
You can now run your full DAST workflow directly from the CLI, removing the need for UI interaction or tunneling setups. A REST‑API‑driven script handles authentication, session creation, scanning, and results retrieval. For more information on the DAST CLI, see here.
New columns in Scans History tab
New Paths, Mode, and Initiator columns re now available in the Scans History tab.
The Paths column displays the number of paths found in the scan.
The Mode column indicates which scan mode was used. Older scans will show the default mode or remain blank if no current mode applies. Scans run with custom configurations that do not match any available mode will also appear with an empty Mode field.
The Initiator column shows whether the scan was initiated manually, triggered by a schedule, or launched from the DAST CLI.
DAST Vulnerabilities by Alert
Added support for viewing DAST vulnerabilities by Alert on the Environments page, in addition to the existing Instance view.
Viewing by Alert aligns with industry standards by displaying the underlying vulnerability, while viewing by Instance shows how many times that vulnerability was detected.
Associate Environment to Application
Added ways to associate the application with an environment. You can now associate applications to the environment through the Environment tab, Application tab, an environment’s settings, or through the application’s Overview tab.
DAST Overview Tab
The Overview tab displays an at‑a‑glance summary of an environment, including associated applications, groups, and users; scan dates and times; and high‑level dashboards of the discovered vulnerabilities and compliance postures.
Support for SOAP API
Added support for uploading SOAP API files in DAST. When configuring your API-type environment, in addition to Postman, OpenAPI, and HAR files, you can now upload SOAP API files.
For more information, refer to this page.
IaC
Updated to version 2.1.18
Enhancements
The following new queries have been added:
Terraform/GCP
Ensures that critical contacts are configured for the organization
Ensures that legacy networks do not exist for older projects
Terraform/Azure
Checks that the use of user access administrator is not restricted
Bug fixes

IAM
Keycloak has been updated to version 26.4.
New Features and Enhancements
New Role: plugin-scanner for CI/CD and IDE Integrations
A new IAM role, plugin-scanner, is now available to support secure, least-privileged access for plugin-based integrations. This role provides minimal, scoped permissions required for:
Checkmarx CLI
CI/CD pipeline integrations
IDE plugins
This addition improves security by limiting access to only what is necessary for scanning operations, while simplifying configuration for teams using automation and development tooling.
New Role: analytics-developer-assist-view
A new role, analytics-developer-assist-view, has been introduced to provide users with view-only access to the Developer Assist dashboard. This role enables controlled visibility into developer-focused analytics while maintaining proper access governance.
New Role for Developer Standalone Plugin
A new least-privileged role has been added to support the Developer Standalone plugin without requiring tenant-level permissions. The role:
Can generate API Keys for authentication
Can view the License page and download the contributor developers CSV
Cannot create projects, applications, or trigger scans
This enables secure, fully decoupled plugin operation while preventing unnecessary access.
