Resolved Issues

  • Fixed a Remediate issue where a single invalid remediation suggestion would result in an entire batch of suggestions being suppressed. As a result of this fix, more remediation pull requests could be created, each with its own branch, which can result in increased SCA scanning activity.

  • Fixed an edge-case null pointer exception that caused the Scanner to fail.

  • .NET versions in the scanner were updated to: 6.0.421, 7.0.408, 8.0.204.

Resolved Issues

New Features and Updates

  • The strictMode parameter now supports updated values:

    • none: No warnings or errors published in the Scan Details report.

    • warning: Warnings and errors published, but do not cause Security Check failures.

    • failure: Warnings and errors published, and errors cause Security Check failures.

    • failOnWarning: Warnings and errors published, and both cause Security Check failures.

  • Added a new parameter strictModeInfo to control the inclusion of INFO logs in the Scan Details report.

  • Node was updated to version 20.12.0 in the scanner

  • npm was updated to version 10.5.0 in the scanner

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed a null pointer exception when Mend was trying to create a work item in a project where work item description is disabled (no System.Description field).

  • Fixed an issue where work item descriptions exceeding 1 million characters would cause the Azure DevOps API to report a 500 error. Moving forward, such descriptions will be truncated.

  • Private registries hosted in Azure require encryption for a successful connection. Encryption was added to the host rules implementation, to allow a successful connection.

  • (SAST) Commits without analysis-relevant files are now handled correctly. 

Version 24.5.1.2 (20-May-2024)

Unified Agent 24.5.1-134 | Renovate 37.351.2 | Remediate 24.4.2 | Pre-Scan Builder (PSB) 24.5.1

  • Fixed an issue where the controller logs contained incorrect repository names and incorrect log messages during app re-installation events (Org name was used where Repo name should have been used).

  • Fixed an issue that could prevent issue publishing due to a null pointer exception.

  • Fixed: In some scenarios of npm resolution, unhandled exceptions during the parsing of package.json files led to scan failure. The previously unhandled exceptions will now be handled properly. Furthermore, a partial result warning will be reported by the Unified Agent, in case a package.json file couldn’t be parsed.  

Version 24.4.1.2 (21-April-2024)

Unified Agent 24.4.1-132 | Renovate 37.261.0 | Remediate 24.4.1 | Pre-Scan Builder (PSB) 24.4.1

  • SPM Swift resolution is now supported by the Unified Agent, including error and warning messages in strictMode for Swift scans.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed an issue where the strictMode setting was not correctly creating reports and failing the Security Check if there were no vulnerabilities meeting the CVSS threshold defined in failOnVulnerabilityMinCvss.

  • Previously, if lock files were found in the repo and the private registry was configured via host rules, the configuration via host rules was not used. Moving forward, host rules configuration will be used to define private registry credentials regardless of the presence of lock files in the repo.
