Checkmarx SCA Release Notes May 2026
SCA Updates
Package Upgrade Recommendations
We have introduced Package Upgrade Recommendations, based on our proprietary algorithms, in the Project Page of each project. This provides actionable guidance to help you identify and prioritize safer dependency upgrades.
A new Suggested Fix column in the Packages tab highlights what upgrade options are available for each package (None, Next, Latest), with color-coded indicators distinguishing between full (green) and partial (purple) remediation. Hover over a value to see additional details and click on the value to open a sidebar that shows both the minimal update and the latest version that offer the best remediation options. There is also a link to the AppSec Knowledge Center where you can see a full analysis of the vulnerable package. In the Risks tab, a new Risk Resolution column delivers targeted fix recommendations per vulnerability, enabling more granular remediation decisions.
Aside from the scan results viewer, these insights are also available on the Global Inventory screen as well as in the exported CSV files.
These recommendations reduce the time and effort required to remediate open-source vulnerabilities, helping teams make faster, more informed upgrade decisions.
Improved Delta Scan Accuracy
The Delta Scan feature in SCA has been updated to better determine when a full scan is required. The set of monitored files per package manager has been expanded, and scan arguments and platform configurations are now factored into the delta evaluation - ensuring that relevant changes always trigger a full scan and produce accurate results.
