Veracode has moved all functionality of the Manual Testing REST API to the Findings REST API. All endpoint signatures and response objects remain the same. However, the following input parameters have been updated:

  • The scan GUID parameter for getScan has been replaced with integer scanId. scanId is found in the getScans response.
  • The scan GUID parameter for getFindings has been replaced with integer scanId. scanId is found in the getScan response.
  • The finding GUID parameter for getFinding has been replaced with integer findings[].id. findings[].id is found in the getFindings response.

The Findings API specification is available on SwaggerHub for more details.

Upgrade to Looker 24.6​

Veracode has upgraded Analytics to use version 24.6 of the Looker platform in the Commercial and European regions.

June 20, 2024​

Project scan IDs added to Reporting API​

Added the following fields to the Findings report of the Reporting API for findings from agent-based scans that are linked to applications:

  • original_project_scan_id: The original project scan in which an SCA agent identified the application-linked finding.
  • latest_project_scan_id: The most recent project scan in which an SCA agent identified the application-linked finding.

Changes to dates for application-linked SCA agent findings in Analytics​

Veracode Analytics and the Reporting API have updated how they determine the values for date fields of agent-based scan findings that are linked to applications. The following fields now retrieve data from the agent-based scanning history instead of the SCA upload scan history:

  • First Found Date
  • First Found in Application Date
  • Library First Found in Active Scans Date
  • Last Found Date
  • Reopened Date
  • Fixed Date

This update impacts the following fields because they derive data from the updated fields listed above:

  • Resolved Date
  • Grace Period Expiration Date
  • Flaw Age

Veracode Analytics updates​

The Veracode Analytics Findings explore includes the following improvements:

  • Updated the Policy Rule Passed (Yes / No) field to match the new policy logic changes to findings from a Software Compsition Analysis (SCA). If SCA findings violate policy, but are within the grace period, the Veracode Platform does not report them as not passing policy, or "No".
  • Added a new Findings Policy Status field that you can use to tag findings that violate policy and are within grace period as Conditional Pass.
  • The SCA Agent-Based Scan Issues page now provides data about the projects and workspaces that generated the issues.

April 3, 2024​

The Veracode Documentation has the following improvements:

  • New Learning paths provide a sequence of videos and documentation that walk you through using Veracode products. For example, the steps show you how to prepare applications for scanning, run a Static Analysis or Dynamic Analysis in the Veracode Platform, and then review the results. By following these paths, new users can onboard and experienced users can gain a deeper understanding of Veracode products, features, and best practices.
  • New search experience that helps you more easily search across all documentation and filter the results.
