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:

  • 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​

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

  • 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.
