Resolved Issues

Fixed an issue that prevented Config Change check from failing when instead of the standard " U+0022 QUOTATION MARK, the “ U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK or ” U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK were used.
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.
Fixed an issue where archived GitHub repositories were causing error messages in the controller logs during issue sync flows.

Version 24.4.2 (06-May-2024)

Unified Agent 24.4.1-132 | Renovate 37.313.1 | Remediate 24.4.2 | Pre-Scan Builder (PSB) 24.4.1-1
