  • Aura components for Salesforce
Improved Veracode Static Analysis Support​

Veracode now supports static analysis of these technologies:

  • Apex version 49.
  • Java applications built on Java 14.
  • Version 2.6 and 2.7 of the Play framework for Scala. You may see additional findings for Play applications as a result of these improvements.
  • Python application analysis improvements, including additional security checks for risks related to certificate management and cryptography settings. You may see additional findings for Python applications as a result of these improvements.
  • Updated CWE definitions for flaws that had been reported previously as CWE 100 and 391. MITRE is deprecating these CWEs. MITRE is recategorizing CWE 100 flaws as CWE 1174, and recategorizing CWE 391 flaws as either CWE 252 or CWE 273, depending on the details of the flaw.

Veracode has updated policy rules that included entries for CWE 100 and CWE 391 to include the new CWEs.

After you run the next scan of affected applications, the Veracode Platform reports and analytics reflect the new CWE values. Data for previous scans still include the historical values.
