πŸ“ˆ Scan & Vulnerability Reporting

  • Implemented /api/v2/report and /api/v2/report/scans endpoints to deliver comprehensive scan analytics and vulnerability summaries.

  • Reports now include:

    • Total number of scans, projects, files, and lines of code scanned.

    • Breakdown of vulnerabilities grouped by scanner (e.g., SAST, IAC, SECRET, etc.).

    • Counts of findings by status: True Positive, False Positive, Unverified.

🧠 Historical Comparisons & Trends

  • Added comparison support between current (live) and one_month_ago metrics.

  • Markdown templates were created to display percentage change trends:

    • πŸ“ˆ Increase or πŸ“‰ decrease in scans, files, and LoC.

    • Markdown-compatible layout supports rendering in dashboards, GitHub, and PDF exports.

πŸ“‹ Markdown Summary Templates

  • Built dynamic Markdown table rendering:

    • Per-scanner vulnerability breakdown.

    • CWE-based and status-based vulnerability distribution tables.

    • Aggregate totals across scanners and statuses included in table footers.

  • Added project listings with links, scan references, and metadata such as created_at and branch.

πŸ” Automation & Streamlined Insights

  • Vulnerability reports auto-update using latest completed scans (per project).

  • Introduced support for mermaid.js and basic charting ideas for future visual dashboards.

May 13th, 2025

πŸ” Security Policy Enforcement by Plan

  • Introduced BuildSecurityPolicyWithDefaults, a utility that constructs a complete security policy based on user input, default values, and plan-based access control.

  • The following plan-based restrictions are now enforced:

    • Free Plan: Only compliance, secret, and pii scanners can be enabled.

    • Premium Plan: Adds support for sast, sca, container, iac, and api scanners.

    • Ultimate Plan: All scanners are allowed.

  • Even if users attempt to enable unauthorized scanners, they are automatically disabled (set to false).

  • All scanners are now always present in the policy for consistency, with unavailable ones disabled as per plan.

  • Invalid frequency values are now replaced with "none" using cron syntax validation.

🧱 Group Management Enhancements

  • CreateGroup and UpdateGroup functions in the datastore now:

    • Return the full group document (not just success/failure).

    • Include security_policy integration with enforcement.

  • API endpoints for group creation (POST) and update (PUT) now:

    • Accept name and security_policy in JSON body.

    • Apply default policy structure and plan-based overrides before saving.

    • Return the newly created or updated group object in the response.

βœ… Stability & Safety

  • Improved validation of input data (e.g. cron expressions, JSON formats).

  • Resolved issues with scanner value enforcement logic.

  • Ensured consistent scanner output structure regardless of user input.
