3.4October 2023 Important Integration Support Notifications Reminder: As of ThreadFix version 3.4, 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.

Helm Key UpdatesThreadFix has been updated to support MySQL 8 database CheckmarxOne has been added as a new Remote Provider Qualys WAS results now display more information for users to review 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 are the current allowed file types that can be uploaded as scans: .csv .fpr .json .nessus .ozasmt .xml
