3.4

October 2023

  • Integration support is discontinued for Bugzilla (ver 4.x & 5.x), IBM ClearQuest, and VersionOne

  • ThreadFix 3.4 supports MySQL 8 and is not backwards compatible to 5.7. Users will need to upgrade their database to MySQL 8 when upgrading to ThreadFix 3.4.

  • Jira has deprecated and removed certain endpoints as of version 9.0, in order to maintain proper functionality with ThreadFix, it is recommended to upgrade to 3.4

  • AppScan Enterprise identified and resolved an issue where some vulnerabilities reported finding details for multiple issue types as a single concatenated string via the AppScan API.  In this instance ThreadFix would ingest this data as if it was legitimate which could cause some display and merging issues if the instance of AppScan Enterprise in use is a version subject to this misbehavior. HCL has informed our impacted clients that the issues have been resolved; clients should prioritize updating their AppScan Enterprise instance to the latest HCL patch prior to updating ThreadFix.

  • CheckmarxOne has been added as a new Remote Provider

  • Qualys WAS results now display more information for users to review

  • defectProfileId and useDefaultDefectProfile have been added to the Submit Defect API calls

  • CWE 16 behavior has been adjusted as many scanning tools provide CWE 16 as a catch all for vulnerabilities that are not specifically software in nature:

    • It’s been observed through repeated testing that a more appropriate path for ThreadFix is to treat all SAST, DAST, IAST, and Mobile findings as unmergeable if they are classified as CWE 16. As of 3.4 ThreadFix will no longer permit merging in those instances.

    • SCA/Dependency finding types will still merge as before as CWE is not a component of the merge logic for those findings

  • In preparation for ThreadFix SaaS - we have updated our Allowed and Blocked file types. Below is the current allowed file types that can be uploaded as scans:

    • .csv

    • .fpr

    • .json

    • .nessus

    • .ozasmt

    • .xml

  • Fix for an issue where findings show a CWE Number instead of a name

  • Fix for the Last Import Attempt Status not updating for Netsparker Enterprise app after a successful import

  • Fix for an issue where the user may not be able to view a defect from the Vulnerability Detail page, resulting in an error

  • Fix for an issue where not all Pen Test teams would display in the Identity Management page

  • Fix for an issue where if a Team is deleted in the Portfolio page and a newly created Team with the same name is created with an application, the previously deleted Team name may appear on the UI.

  • Security updates

  • Several minor UI updates

3.3.4

August 2023

  • Minor UI updates

  • Fix for Black Duck ingesting invalid Finding CVE data

  • Fix for a NullPointerException error when trying to update an application, via the Update Application API, containing at least one unmapped vulnerability

  • Fix for Acunetix 360 and Netsparker Enterprise, where if the application is renamed on the scanner, the existing RemoteProviderApplication row is discarded. This occurred despite the nativeId value persisting.

  • Error addressed when a user tries to edit a JIRA defect tracker using a new longer API token

  • Fix for Fortify on Demand microservice registering more vulnerabilities than actually exist

3.3.3

  • A manually closed vulnerability may be marked as “re-opened” if a scan containing the open vulnerability is uploaded from a date prior to when it was manually closed. ThreadFix will not mark a manually closed vulnerability as having been re-opened from an uploaded scan preceding the vulnerability having been manually closed.
