🚩What’s New at Veracode: The Big End-of-September Update

Hi Community, Happy October! It's time for the weekly product news. We’re excited to share an extensive list of features we shipped at the end of September. 

 

◾️Static Analysis  

  • New Language Support 
    • Angular 9 and 10 
    • Visual Studio 2019 for Visual C++ 
    • Pipeline Scan now supports Android applications 
  • Improved Support 
    • AWS SDK for JavaScript 
    • .NET and JVM-based Applications

️◾️Veracode Integrations 

  • Veracode Static for Eclipse (version 3.4.1) now allows you to store your Veracode API credentials securely in an external file. 
  • Introducing Veracode for GitHub 
  • You can use GitHub Actions for performing static analysis of your application source code from within GitHub.  
  • Veracode provides preconfigured GitHub Actions for uploading your code to Veracode for static analysis or running a pipeline scan from within your GitHub development workflow. 

 

◾️Veracode Platform 

  • Rolling Sandbox Histories 
    • You can limit sandbox data by restricting the number of retained scans for each sandbox to 15.  
    • After more than 15 scans, the Veracode Platform deletes the oldest scan, though the data remains available through Veracode Analytics.  
    • If enabled, this feature replaces the previous data limitation method of expiring old sandboxes. 
    • To request access to rolling sandbox histories, contact Veracode Technical Support. 
  • Updates to Some XML API Deletion Calls: To improve performance, the deleteuser.do, deleteteam.do, deleteapp.do, and removefiles.do XML API calls now return an HTTP 200 response and a change summary, instead of a list of the items remaining after the deletion. 
  • Shareable Links to Your Analytics Dashboards 
    • You can now share links to Veracode Analytics dashboards, including Veracode dashboards and dashboards that your organization creates.  
    • To access a dashboard link, you must log in to the Veracode Platform and have permission to view the data in the dashboard. 
  • Activity Log Updates 
    • You can now download a report of the full history of application profile activity, scan activity, and sandbox activity.  
    • The activity log in the Veracode Platform now displays activity data for the past 90 days. 
  • Technique Removed from TSRV Format for Accepting Risk 
    • Technique from the TSRV standard has been removed. 
    • Remaining Risk, and Verification are still required fields. 
  • Updates to CWE Top 25 Policy Rules 
    • The Latest CWE Top 25 policy rule in the Veracode Platform now reflects the 2020 CWE Top 25 standard.  
    • The 2019 CWE Top 25 policy rule has also been updated to disallow the children of CWE-94: CWE-91, 95, 98, 185, and 830. 
  • Two URLs Added to Required Veracode Domains: If you restrict access to public internet sites for your organization, please add app.pendo.io and analytics2.veracode.com to your allow list. 

 

◾Software Composition Analysis 

Grace Periods for SCA Policy Rules, allowing you to: 

  • include grace periods for SCA upload scans in your application security policies.  
  • define a grace period for all scan types, including SCA, or define a grace period that applies specifically to SCA scans.
