A separate, basic authentication section is available to configure authentication for websites that require two forms of authentication: auto-login and browser-generated authentication. Veracode continues to support Selenium-based login scripts with these changes.

Coverage Improvements​

  • The latest release of Veracode Dynamic Analysis includes new generic injection techniques in the scan engine and flaw publishing process. Veracode can now detect additional vulnerabilities for CWEs 95, 89, 91, and 74.

New Auto-Publish Feature​

Auto-Publish is now enabled in Veracode Dynamic Analysis to automatically publish some findings, providing quicker results for specific types of vulnerabilities.

  • If every vulnerability found in all URL scans in a Dynamic Analysis meets the criteria for auto-publication, Veracode publishes the findings immediately after the analysis completes.
  • If one or more vulnerabilities require a review by a Veracode scan engineer, then any findings eligible for auto-publication must wait for that review. Veracode publishes all findings together within 24 hours of when the manual review is complete.

Change to Failed Verification Status​

Veracode Dynamic Analysis has updated the status definition that displays when any URL scans fail verification for either a connection or authentication issue.

  • When a single URL scan in an analysis fails verification:
    • The URL scan status is Verification Failed.
    • The Dynamic Analysis status is All Verifications Failed.
  • When an analysis with multiple URL scans has one or more of the URL scans fail verification:
    • The failed URL scan status is Verification Failed.
    • The analysis status is Completed - Partial Results Available.

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.
  • 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.

CWE-74 Now Disallowed for the OWASP Security Standard​

  • Veracode has reclassified CWE-74 "Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')" as a high severity finding. CWE-74, which Veracode discovers during Dynamic Analysis, is now included on the disallowed CWE IDs list in the latest version of the OWASP security standard. If your organization is using the OWASP 2017 security standard, you may see more findings violating policy or see your application fail policy as a result of this change.

Support for MITRE CWE List Version 4.1​

  • Veracode now provides reporting based on CWE version 4.1 definitions, which changes the names and descriptions of a few existing CWE categories. The complete list of changes in CWE version 4.1 is available from the MITRE website. This new version does not impact the CWE mappings for the OWASP, CWE Top 25, or CERT security standards.

  • MITRE is updating their CWE list on a more frequent basis, but Veracode remains committed to staying up-to-date with each new version. As MITRE updates their CWE database, you might notice periodic changes in Veracode reports, such as differences between parent-child relationships or mappings.

Veracode updated the mitigationinfo.xsd file to include this mitigation type.

June 27, 2020​

Veracode Policies Now Support 2019 CWE Top 25 Security Standard​

  • Veracode updated the PCI security standard in the Veracode Platform to include the 2019 CWE Top 25 Security Standard, previously called the SANS Top 25 standard.

In addition, Veracode Analytics provides two new explores for SCA agent data: SCA Agent Issues and SCA Agent Scans. These explores enable you to create your own charts and dashboards, providing a better understanding of your open-source risk.

May 28, 2020​

Update to Industry Values in Application Profile​

  • Veracode has updated the values for industries in application profiles to more accurately reflect the market. Because applications include industry values to help inform the Veracode State of Software Security report, this change affects the createapp.do and updateapp.do XML API calls.
