Unified Agent

Major improvements to the Go Modules dependencies detection have been introduced with the addition of a new optimized resolver for Modules, controlled by a separate set of parameters. Two separate settings are now supported: new parameters for controlling the new Modules resolution and the existing Go parameters for controlling Modules and the other Go package managers. The new Modules resolver detects only the actively-used dependencies and includes the following new parameters:

• go.modules.resolveDependencies

• go.modules.ignoreSourceFiles

• go.modules.removeDuplicateDependencies

• go.modules.includeTestDependecies. 

To use the enhanced Modules dependencies detection, it is recommended to turn on the new resolver by setting go.modules.resolveDependencies=true and disable the current Go resolver by setting go.resolveDependencies=false.

Security Advisories

• Improved detection accuracy of vulnerabilities found in Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions.

• Added support for new security advisories.

The enhancements above will be deployed gradually, and may result in some WhiteSource organizations experiencing a change in vulnerability alerts over the next month.

Documentation Updates

• The following documentation changes were implemented:

  • The Deprecated Features topic was deprecated and the content was moved to the Notices page.

  • The Setting the Home Page topic was deprecated and the content was moved to the WhiteSource Home Page topic.

  • The High Severity Bugs Report topic was deprecated.

  • The File System topic was deprecated.

• Structural modifications were implemented to the opening documentation sections, beginning with the login/homepage documentation. As a result, the following pages were deprecated:

  • Getting Started

  • Setup Projects

  • Automate the Process by Using the Unified Agent

• In the next version, the R Integration page will be deprecated.

Resolved Issues

• Archive extraction of the Zstandard format RPM file failed.

• A problem with missing shields occurred during Prioritize scans with NPM due to incorrect handling of duplicate dependencies.

• Some Unified Agent's log messages were not taken into account when setting the logLevel parameter.

• Running the Generating the Due Diligence Report resulted in a blank report.

• When Jira Server was connected to PostgreSQL, an exception occurred in Jira Plugin when trying to add a new row to the table.

Notices

The following is planned for the next Unified Agent releases:

• Within the next two releases, NPM and Yarn configuration will be optimized by automatically executing the relevant pre-step (npm install or yarn install) based on the lock file detected (yarn.lock or package-lock.json) when npm.runPreStep=true. 

• Within the next two releases, the NuGet configuration will be improved by merging the nuget.restoreDependencies into the nuget.runPreStep flag. After this change, by setting nuget.runPreStep=true, dependencies found in csproj files will be automatically downloaded.

Version 21.3.1 (4-April-2021)

New Features and Updates

Azure DevOps Services Integration:

• The following two tags will be added to the build when a pipeline, including a WhiteSource task, is running:

  • ws_support_token (this tag will contain the support token value)

  • ws_scan_start_time (this tag will contain the WhiteSource scan start time in UTC time)

Jira Server Plugin

The Jira Server Plugin is now available in the Atlassian marketplace. Please note that the Jira Server Plugin is currently in beta.

Resolved Issues

• Using the Unified Agent’s Archive Extractor when trying to scan the root of the operating system resulted in a null pointer exception.

  • The Deprecated Features topic will be deprecated and the content will move to the Notices page

  • The High Severity Bugs Report topic will be deprecated

  • The File System topic will be deprecated

• Additional modifications will be implemented to the opening documentation sections, beginning with the login/homepage documentation. 

Notices

In the next Unified Agent release, major improvements to the Go Modules dependencies detection will be introduced with the addition of a new optimized resolver for Modules, controlled by a separate set of parameters. After this change, two separate settings will be supported: new parameters for controlling the new Modules resolution and the existing Go parameters for controlling Modules and the other Go package managers. The new Modules resolver will detect only the actively used dependencies and will enable controlling whether to include test dependencies and duplicate dependencies. 

Version 21.2.2 (14-March-2021)

New Features and Updates

Unified Agent

• This version introduces support for NPM 7.

• A new parameter, fileSystemScan, replaces the soon-to-be-deprecated ignoreSourceFiles.

APIs

• A new API is now available for unmarking manually-assigned in-house libraries - unmarkManualInHouseLibrary.

Resolved Issues

• In some cases, information regarding source libraries was not displayed correctly; for example, empty projects were still displayed in some source libraries, or some source libraries appeared as empty.

• Running the gcloud auth command failed during Docker scan on Mac computers.

• Users with different roles than admins or alert ignorers were able to ignore alerts in VBA mode.

• Exceptions occurred when trying to assign licenses as part of update policy alerts.

• In the Unified Agent, when scanning NPM, NPM dependencies were not resolved when package.json did not contain name/version attributes.

• When downloading a missing jar file, the Unified Agent incorrectly generated success messages.

• Added indication for missing copyright references in the Attribution report summary.

• When excluding inner modules (projects) in Gradle, the scan would return the wrong dependencies tree.

• Azure DevOps Services Integration: In some cases, adding npm.resolveMainPackageJsonOnly=true to the WhiteSource Configuration task parameter led to a scan failing.

Documentation

Beginning in this version the following page was archived and is therefore no longer in use.

• WhiteSource Advise for Visual Studio Codespaces

Version 21.2.1 (28-February-2021)

New Features and Updates

Unified Agent

• Scala dependencies detection was improved, by supporting the sbt-dependency-graph plugin when applicable.

Resolved Issues

• When working in vulnerability-based alerting mode, user roles were not being validated when ignoring/reactivating alerts.

New Feature Announcements

• WhiteSource is launching a Beta release of a new generic platform for issue tracker integrations and a plugin for Jira Server. The new platform will provide the ability to integrate with issue tracking systems, in order to automatically create issues when a policy match occurs. The Jira Server Plugin is the first integration developed using the new platform and more out-of-the-box plugins are planned to be released.

Documentation

The following topic has been deprecated:

• Fortify Software Security Center Integration

Version 21.1.2.1 (14-February-2021)

• Fixed an issue whereby scanning a Docker .tar file by the Unified Agent resulted in an exception.

Version 21.1.2 (14-February-2021)

Resolved Issues

• Azure DevOps Services Integration: Running a pipeline build from a self-hosted agent resulted in a WhiteSource-generated .encrypted file not being deleted at the end of each WhiteSource build task run.
  NOTE: Self-hosted agent builds triggered before 14 February may still contain traces of WhiteSource-generated .encrypted files. These files must be manually removed from the self-hosted agent work folder.

• On rare occasions, library alerts were not created after the vulnerability sync.

• Duplicate hashed source files caused the second one to be considered as unmatched.

• In Linux, Python scans failed due to a missing space in the execution of one of the commands used for resolution.

• In the Unified Agent, there were exceptions when parsing specific pipfile formats.

Documentation

The following topics have been deprecated and all their content has been merged into the Unified Agent documentation:

Version 21.1.1 (31-January-2021)

New Features and Updates

Web UI

• Beginning in this version, the Auditor role for service users can be assigned to users from the UI.

Azure DevOps Services Integration

• Updated the WhiteSource task version from 20 to 21. In order to use the new version(s) of the extension, you will need to update the task from WhiteSource@20 to WhiteSource@21 inside your pipeline definition.

• Added ability to map an Azure Project to an existing WhiteSource Product in addition to creating a new WhiteSource Product) via the Project Settings > Extensions > WhiteSource page.

Resolved Issues

• Several issues have been resolved regarding Docker Layers:

  • Layers with the same SHA1 were represented as one resource.

  • Layers with a SHA1 already created as “unknown” from previous scans were recognized as that resource, and therefore the display name did not reflect the layer

  • Layers with SHA1 were unnecessarily looked up in the index 

• Discrepancies were found between the Alerts Widget and the Library Page.

• Vulnerability-based alerting: In the 'Vulnerable Libraries' section on the 'Security Vulnerability' page, the libraries were not filtered by the specific CVE. As a result, the CVEs were ignored and the filter returned all the vulnerable libraries in the organization.

Notices

• In the Unified Agent’s upcoming releases, major improvements to the Go Modules’ dependencies detection will be introduced. A new optimized resolver for Go Modules, controlled by a separate set of parameters will become active, paving the way for more specific control over Go resolution.

Version 20.12.3 (17-January-2021)

New Features and Updates

• The Unified Agent now supports scanning Google Distroless images.

• The optimized NPM resolution method, controlled by the npm.resolveLockFile flag, is now the default dependency detection for NPM.

Resolved Issues

• Azure DevOps Services Integration: When opening the Security vulnerabilities tab in the Open Source Risk report, the data was not sorted by severity.

• Azure DevOps Services Integration: Adding the WhiteSource task to a YAML-based pipeline without setting any of its parameters resulted in an error. As part of this fix, a default value was added for the cwd parameter.

• Fixed failures of inventory update if artifactVersion exceeded the valid length.

• The Unified Agent failed to parse a non-lowercase configuration value.

• The Unified Agent failed to resolve NuGet dependencies when the project.assets.json file was not found in its standard location.

• A Python direct dependency, which was also used as a transitive dependency by another library, was not listed as a direct dependency by the Unified Agent.

• RPM packages installed or deleted without using yum were not identified correctly by the Unified Agent.

Version 20.12.2 (3-January-2021)

New Features and Updates

Web UI

• Beginning with this version, every new organization will be created in the new Vulnerability-based Alerting mode.

• A new and enhanced source files matching algorithm, SmartMatch, can be activated from Advanced Settings in the Integrate tab. The default will remain Weight.

• Two new licenses have been added:

  • GLWTPL

  • ODC-By-1.0

Unified Agent

• A new parameter, python.includePipenvDevDependencies, has been added to provide the ability to manage the dev dependencies. The default value is true.

Resolved Issues

• When searching for a library via global search, then searching for a vulnerability via the same search, the page redirects to the library search page.

• When resolving several requirments.txt files, the cache of the dependencies was not cleared between the different resolutions.

• When running the Unified Agent, the ArchiveExtractor failed to extract files ending with an empty space.

• In the “Source File Inventory” report, if users selected to change the library for files they had no permissions to, the Change Library action had no effect and no message was displayed. Now, this action can only be done by selecting the desired files, then Actions > Change Library menu. The users' permissions are validated and a proper message is displayed.

• After repeatedly using "Assign Yourself", the pop-up window appears blank and users need to click "Add License Reference" or "Override All” in order to see the mandatory fields.

• When running SBT Coursier, the Unified Agent did not run pre-step commands even though pre-step flags were activated.

• Changes to licenses being updated either in the index (libraryDataSync API) or in the Admin Console did not trigger alerts calculation.

• The Unified Agent did not support the packages.db RPM database

Documentation Updates

The following integration pages have been archived and will therefore no longer be in use. All the material contained therein will be included in the Unified Agent parameter documentation.

• Gradle

• Maven

• Python

Notice

In the next Unified Agent release, the optimized NPM resolution method, controlled by the npm.resolveLockFile flag, will become the default dependency detection for NPM. This will be applied by changing the current default value of the npm.resolveLockFile flag from false to true. In addition to improving the scanning time of NPM projects, more accurate results will be produced by this mechanism. Unmet optional and/or peer dependencies that were not taken into consideration by the previous dependency detection will be part of the results when they are found in the lock file. 

Version 20.12.1.1 (21-December-2020)

• Fixed an issue introduced in the latest version (20.11.2) in which unmatched source libraries were missing from the Project/Product page.

Azure DevOps Services Integration (added 10-November-2020) 

• Added a WhiteSource Support Token to the WhiteSource task logs. 

Documentation Updates

Unified Agent

A modified Unified Agent documentation repository has been launched, with the intent to increase usability, update existing content, fill in missing gaps, and create a linear flow.

The documentation is spread over 4 contiguous topics (pages), in this order:

• An Overview page 

• A Getting Started page, with prereqs, download info, config info, etc.

• A Parameters page

• Advanced Topics (similar to an appendix)

Policies

A modified Policies page will be launched, with the intent to update existing content, fill in missing gaps, and create a linear flow. This page merges the two existing policies topics - Automated Policies and Managing Policies Throughout Your SDLC. The latter has been archived and is therefore no longer in use.

Resolved Issues

• The Unified Agent’s Artifactory scanner failed to build a URL from strings that contained non-alphanumeric characters.

• Dependencies defined in the gemfile.lock file with an exclamation mark suffix were wrongly resolved.

• Policies where Action was defined as Issue failed to create Work Items issues.

• Under certain conditions, when working with policies of the Issue type, exceptions occurred while loading Work Items data.

Resolved Issues - Azure DevOps Services Integration (added 10-November-2020) 

• Fixed an issue where in some cases, users with non-admin permissions were not able to view the WhiteSource open-source risk report. All existing WhiteSource for Azure DevOps Services extension users will need to approve the extension permission changes that were applied in this version. To approve the new changes, do as follows:

  1. Go to Organization Settings > Extensions > Installed > WhiteSource for Azure DevOps Services.

  2. Click Review. The Authorize WhiteSource for Azure DevOps Services popup is displayed.

  3. Click Authorize.

• Scanning a project based on a GitHub Repository led to a RangeError error.

Version 20.10.1.1 (4-November-2020)

• Fixed an issue whereby ending a setProductAssignments request resulted in error code 3000, and an Invalid request parameters error message.

Version 20.10.1.1 (2-November-2020)

• Azure DevOps Services Integration: In some cases, when running a pipeline build containing a WhiteSource task, a toString() failed error was displayed in the WhiteSource build task logs, leading to a scan failure.

Version 20.10.1 (25-October-2020)

New Features and Updates

WhiteSource Core

• In order to comply with industry standards, WhiteSource has decided to remove the option of searching a library via drag and drop. Library searching can now only be done by entering the library’s name (added November 1, 2020).

Azure DevOps Services Integration

• Added the ability to specify custom Unified Agent Configuration parameters to be used by a particular pipeline build. For this, a new field, WhiteSource Configuration, was added to the WhiteSource task. For more information, see here.

Documentation Updates

Unified Agent

Beginning in version 20.10.2 (approximate release - November 8), a modified Unified Agent documentation repository will be launched, with the intent to increase usability, update existing content, fill in missing gaps, and create a linear flow.

The documentation will be spread over 4 contiguous topics (pages), in this order:

• An overview page 

• A Getting Started page, with prereqs, download info, config info, etc.

• A Parameters page

• Advanced Topics (similar to an appendix)

More details will follow in the next release notes.

Policies

Beginning in version 20.10.2 (approximate release - November 8), a modified Policies page will be launched, with the intent to update existing content, fill in missing gaps, and create a linear flow. This page merges the two existing policies topics - Automated Policies and Managing Policies Throughout Your SDLC. The latter will be archived and therefore no longer be in use.

Resolved Issues

• When the project information object did not have a version in its coordinates, the Unified Agent failed to run.

• The Unified Agent failed when trying to resolve a large PHP project.

• Azure DevOps Services Integration: A pipeline build with the WhiteSource task failed to scan GitHub repositories when using a Linux build agent.

• The optimized NPM resolution method, controlled by the npm.resolveLockFile parameter, did not handle duplicate dependencies correctly. This caused an increase in the size of requests sent by the Unified Agent.

• When applying Create Issue policies, issues were created incorrectly for all projects in the organization (added November 1, 2020).

• When updating group assignments, SAML incorrectly removed users from the domain (added November 1, 2020).

• When entering multiple values for either groupAssignments or userAssignments in the setProductAssignments and setOrganizationAssignments API calls, these values were ignored. The fix - from now on, the first value is assigned (added November 1, 2020).

• Users were unable to change a source file library if there was already an existing mapping with a comment (added November 1, 2020).

Version 20.9.2.2 (15-October-2020)

WhiteSource Core

• CREATE_ISSUE policies defined in Product scope that were applied to libraries removed from in-house/whitelist, caused tickets creation in all of the organization's projects when there were no CREATE_ISSUE policies in the organization's scope.

Version 20.9.2.1 (15-October-2020)

Unified Agent

• The default NPM dependency detection method was changed to running the "npm ls" command due to an anomaly observed in the Unified Agent requests size using the new optimized NPM resolution method.

Version 20.9.2 (11-October-2020)

WhiteSource Core

• The optimized NPM resolution method, controlled by the npm.resolveLockFile parameter, is now the default dependency detection method for NPM. This change is introduced by switching the previous default value of npm.resolveLockFile from false to true. This will significantly improve the scanning time of NPM projects and produce more accurate results.

Functionality Changes

• The license name of Oracle Development License (as it previously appeared in the application) will now appear according to its official name, Oracle Technology Network License Agreement.

Resolved Issues

• During Kubernetes agent scanning, when the scanned component included the same image multiple times, irregularities occurred causing an exception.

• In the Attribution report, GPL 2.0 with exception licenses was mistakenly displayed as insert GPL v2 license text here.

• When scanning PHP, the Unified Agent threw an exception if one (or more) of the packages did not have a "source" element in the lock file.

Version 20.9.1 (4-October-2020)

New Features and Updates

WhiteSource Core

• Currently, when accessing the Custom Attributes report, the report’s data is fetched automatically. This can be time-consuming if the organization has many libraries and many custom attributes defined. Beginning in this version, an Apply button has been added, enabling users to query the data on demand only.

Unified Agent

• Beginning in this version, the strict requirement of running the Unified Agent with the configuration file has been removed. If the mandatory parameters are passed to the Unified Agent, in any of the supported methods, the Unified Agent can be run without failing even if the configuration file is missing.

• Beginning in this version, if the Yarn lock file (yarn.lock) is found during the scan, it will be used for the dependencies detection, without the need to explicitly set the npm.yarnProject flag.

Resolved Issues

• When applying policies to existing inventory from the organizational policies page, the product and project policies were ignored.

• When reassigning all of a user’s pending tasks of a user, the inventory request approver was not properly updated.

• When two Maven projects were defined with the same name, both projects were created however with partial data. The introduced fix will now add a suffix (_1, _2) to a project name in case there is more than one project with the same name.

Version 20.8.2 (13-September-2020)

New Features and Updates

• Helm version 3 support is officially introduced for the Kubernetes integration.

Resolved Issues

• If hex.ignoreSourceFiles was set to true, the Unified Agent did not ignore .erl source files.

• When groups were created via SAML integration and were then deleted manually from the dashboard, an exception occurred.

Notices

• Within the next two releases of the Unified Agent, a significant improvement to the NPM dependency detection will be introduced. An optimized NPM resolution method, controlled by the npm.resolveLockFile flag, will become the default dependency detection for NPM. This will be applied by changing the current default value of the npm.resolveLockFile flag from false to true. This will significantly improve the scanning time of NPM projects and produce more accurate results. 

Version 20.8.1.1 (2-September-2020)

Resolved Issues:

• NuGet packages defined at packages.config and/or .csproj with inaccurate versions according to the NuGet version standard were displayed in the scan results without being recognized ("Requires Review"). Following this fix, these packages will no longer be displayed in the scan results.

Version 20.8.1 (30-August-2020)

New Features and Updates

Unified Agent

A new format of Docker project name is now supported - repositoryName - which is based on the Docker repository name only. This format can be applied by setting the docker.projectNameFormat parameter to repositoryName.

In addition, the already-supported format named repositoryFormat was changed to repositoryNameAndTag (the formal name format is still supported, however it will be deprecated).

There are now three supported formats:

• The default format consists of the Docker repository name, tag and ID.

• The repositoryNameAndTag (previously known as repositoryFormat) consists of the Docker repository name and tag.

• The repositoryName consists of the Docker repository only.

Jenkins Plugin (2-September-2020)

• Fixed CVE-2020-2213 

Prioritize

• Aggregate Modules mode supported (using the -aggregateModules field).

Functionality Changes

• In the Project Association page, the Product column was changed from a selection column to a text column. The project association is now only available by checking the desired project(s) and choosing “Assign to Product”, then choosing the desired product from the drop-down list.

• When using “APPEND” update requests, in the rare case where only a TRANSITIVE dependency has been added - the new transitive dependency will be added as a direct dependency, so all of the application's mechanisms such as alerts and policies will be applied on it. This is a change to the current behavior. In order to have the new dependency added as transitive, users can then run another “OVERRIDE” Update Request after the append request.

Resolved Issues

• When running the Gradle resolver, if the dependency is missing the Unified Agent will try to download .jar dependencies only.

• In the rare use case of a change in the GAV coordinates of an artifact, Gradle scans didn't produce the correct signature for this artifact.

• The Request Resolution Status Report displayed the wrong path on the top of the report.

• In the Vulnerability Report, the Locations column was missing from the JSON format.

• When scanning the plan.json file in a Haskell project, a nullPointerException would occur when building hierarchies where one child did not have dependencies.

• In the application’s home screen, some bulk actions of approval/rejection of pending tasks were timed out. This caused the UI to hang and requests were not marked as reviewed.

• When scanning a Docker image with source libraries, the “hierarchy” tree included duplications of the source library matched with those source files.

• Layer information was missing when detecting FOSS components in Docker .tar files.

Version 20.7.3.1 (24-August-2020)

Resolved Issues:

• When resolving a Gradle project with a deep dependency hierarchy, an index out-of-bound exception occurred.

Version 20.7.3 (16-August-2020)

New Features and Updates

Web UI

• Beginning in this version, when creating/editing a policy based on a Jira project with a mandatory field from a type which isn't currently supported, but has a default value defined for it in Jira, the operation will succeed.

APIs

• When a scan for a project is requested while there is already a scan for the same project being executed simultaneously, the new scan is being skipped. Starting in this version, the JSON file returned for the scan will specify the status SKIPPED instead of FINISHED.

Resolved Issues

• In cases of empty status files in Debian Docker images, the scan resulted in zero dependencies.

• In the Policies screens, a popup indicating that changes will not be saved was displayed even though all changes were properly saved.

• A TimeoutException was thrown when calling the method updateNodesParentAndMr in the DependencyNodeRepositoryImpl class.

• More details in logs: The log file includes more information about ignored scopes of Gradle/Maven projects. This allows the user to quickly verify that all the ‘ignored_scopes’ dependencies are not parsed.

• Added flexibility: When the new ‘npm.resolveMainPackageJsonOnly’ configuration parameter is set to ‘true’ (default is ‘false’), a scan is initiated only if a JSON package is defined in the ‘-d’ folder parameter.  

• Enhanced Security: From this version and on, all Unified Agent JAR files will be digitally signed.

• The configuration parameter ‘scanReportFilenameFormat’ indicates whether or not to add a timestamp to the JSON report filename.

GUI (Web Interface)

• Enhanced resolution for Maven projects that include multiple libraries with the same SHA-1. In these cases, the library page displays a new hyperlink stating "This SHA-1 has multiple matches: Click here to override the original match". Clicking the hyperlink will open a pop-up window, enabling a user to manually select alternative GAV coordinates from a list. 

• Optimized accuracy of data in Security Trends Dashboard:

  • After clicking on a chart, the related Alerts report only displays security vulnerability alerts. 

  • The dashboard keeps its predefined context after navigating to another GUI page. 

Effective Usage Analysis (EUA)

• EUA was extended to support finding vulnerabilities in open source development frameworks. This feature is useful for customers using frameworks such as Spring, Hibernate, Struts, etc. The new parameter ‘analyzeFrameworks’ enables/disables analyzing framework code for reported vulnerabilities.

Reports

• ‘Alert Resolution Duration’, ‘Alerts’, and ‘Ignored Alerts’ reports: Added a timeframe menu that enables to select an interval: ‘All time’, ‘last month’, ‘last 3 months’, ‘last 6 months’, and ‘last 12 months’. 

API

• Dynamic notification setup: The API call ‘setProjectSetupNotificationConfig’ enables to define rules for sending email notifications regarding new tasks, requests closed by policy, and project setup completion.

• Flexibility for service users: The ‘regenerateUserKey’ API call enables regenerating a user key for an existing service user.  This API call enables you to keep each service user as part of a group, and when required, reassign their permissions when you want to revoke/add credential(s).

• The ‘getProjectDueDiligenceReport’ API call enables you to retrieve a project level Due Diligence report.

• The ‘getRequestState’ API call can also be used by the Product Integrator. 

Miscellaneous

• GitHub integration: Added information on the path of the dependency file from the vulnerable library in cases where it originates from a package dependency. 

• Artifactory Plugin: The ‘archiveExtractionDepth’ parameter enables to define the maximum drill down hierarchy level in Java, Ruby and Python archive files (The default value is 2, and the maximum value is 7).

• Optimization of user roles: Users may assign licenses/copyrights only if they are one of the following:

  • License and Copyright Assigner

  • Organization Administrator

  • Organization Default Approver

Note: The ability as a 'Product Default Approver' or 'Product Administrator' to assign licenses/copyrights has been removed.
