2.0.34

  • The "Code samples" tab was renamed "Remediation Examples".

2.0.5

Oct 25, 2022

2.0.31

  • You can now initiate scans directly from your IDE. This empowers developers to identify vulnerabilities and remediate them as they code. This feature is currently supported for VS Code and JetBrains. This feature needs to be enabled for your organization's account by a Checkmarx admin user under Account Settings.

    You can run a new scan on an existing Checkmarx project by simply clicking on the "play" button in the Checkmarx panel. A Checkmarx scan runs on the files in your current workspace.

  • In the Checkmarx AST settings, there is now a field for adding additional params. This can be used to manually submit the base url and tenant name (in case there is a problem extracting them from the API Key) or to add global params such as --debug or --proxy. To learn more about CLI params, see Checkmarx One CLI Commands.

  • We have simplified the integration procedure for IDE plugins. It is no longer required to enter the Base URL or Tenant Name of your Checkmarx One account. Now, you just enter your API Key, and we extract all of the relevant account info from that Key.

2.0.4

Sep 13, 2022

2.0.27

  • In the SAST results viewer, we added new tabs with additional info about each vulnerability.

    • Learn More - Gives detailed information about the the nature of the risk and its causes, as well as remediation recommendations.

    • Code Samples - Shows a sample of code that is subject to this vulnerability, followed by a remediated version of that code.

  • In the SCA results viewer -

    • Enriched the data that is shown, and improved the display.

    • Added an automatic remediation button that enables users to automatically replace a vulnerable package version with a non-vulnerable version of that package.

      Tip

      This feature is currently supported only for NPM and only for direct dependencies.
