Version 3.52 | January 25, 2026

New Features and Enhancements

Include Container Security Results in Reports

GA: February 1, 2026

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

GA: February 1, 2026

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

GA: February 1, 2026

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

GA: February 1, 2026

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

GA: February 1, 2026

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

GA: February 1, 2026

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

GA: February 1, 2026

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

GA: February 1, 2026

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

GA: February 1, 2026

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)

GA: February 1, 2026

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

SCA Resolver Update

Version 2.12.41 (January 29, 2026)

  • Allow password parameter to start with a dash "-"

DAST

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

GA: February 1, 2026

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.

Integrated DAST Results with Application Risk Management

DAST environments associated with applications are now visible in Application Risk Management.

This enhancement improves risk visibility by consolidating DAST findings with other testing results, helping security teams more effectively prioritize vulnerabilities.

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.

IaC updates are documented in the IaC changelog.
