September 13, 2024

Updated language and framework support

iOS

Veracode has released version 0.5.0 of Gen IR, the iOS packaging tool, to GitHub and Homebrew. It includes the following new features and improvements:

  • Added PIFSupport library that integrates the Project Interchange Format (PIF) into Gen IR. This new library allows Veracode to better interact with project models from Xcode and SPM, offering a more structured and publicly documented alternative to PBXProject. With this change, Veracode can now discover and decode the PIF cache, which allows Gen IR to better parse and reason about complex project structures and dependencies between targets in a project. Benefits of this change include:

    • Simplified project parsing: PIF’s structure is easier to consume and more robust.
    • Enhanced compatibility: improved handling of dependencies and other existing issues.
    • Future-proofing: aligns with modern development tools and workflows in Xcode and SwiftPM.
  • Support for projects built or generated with Xcode 16.

If you need to downgrade to the previous version, use a new Homebrew formula:

To upgrade your installed Gen IR to the new version, run brew update && brew upgrade

Updates to Required Veracode Domains

September 26, 2020

Rolling Sandbox Histories

  • Rolling sandbox histories let you 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.
  • 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

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.

Improvements to eLearning

Veracode has made these improvements to eLearning:

  • eLearning administrators can now assign a learner to multiple eLearning curricula.
  • Veracode added seven new Secure Coding Foundation courses to learner level 1. Learners who previously completed level 1 must take the newly-added courses to complete this level. Because each level depends on the previous level, these levels show as incomplete until the learner completes them.
  • The eLearning report for learners now includes a Date Started column.
  • The eLearning settings have been removed from the Admin > Manage Users page. All eLearning administration actions are now available from the Admin > eLearning page. This page provides a centralized location where you can use filtering options and perform all actions on one or more learners.
