Snyk Container - Application dependencies CLI scan by default - Reminder

 

Improved

  

We are excited to share that starting from January 24th, 2023, when using the snyk container test/monitor CLI commands, we will scan for application dependencies by default, which will allow you to get a full picture of the security issues within your images.

Here are all the details you need to know about this change to ensure your testing and automation work as expected and you understand all your options.

Re-issuing GPG keys and signing certificates for Snyk CLI

 

New

  

For every Snyk CLI release, we publish signed binaries for Windows and macOS, and GPG signed SHA-256 checksums for all artifacts.

These important measures ensure the authenticity and integrity of the Snyk CLI prior to use.

Following a recent incident impacting our CI/CD vendor, we have rotated our GPG keys and are re-issuing our Windows and macOS signing certificates for Snyk CLI. Going forward, every Snyk CLI release will be signed with these new certificates, which replace the previous ones used.

No malicious activity or leak is believed to have occurred, we are taking these steps out of an abundance of caution and concern for our customers’ safety.

What do I need to do?

Our new GPG keys should be used for verifying checksums from CLI release 1.1082.0 onwards.

If you have previously imported our public GPG key, please delete and re-import, via:

gpg --delete-keys 68BFBCCEB7794E6FC06A2044A29C32E91F4B9569

gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys A22665FB96CAB0E0973604C83676C4B8289C296E

Otherwise, no action is necessary.

Compliance reporting and Issue triage for Snyk Cloud and Snyk IaC

 

New

  

We’re excited to share that Snyk Cloud and Snyk IaC (integrated) now support compliance reporting and issue triage for 10+ compliance standards - including CIS Benchmarks for AWS and Google Cloud, PCI DSS and SOC 2.

We’ve added a Cloud Compliance Issues report to the reporting beta that enables users to select a compliance standard, and view compliance controls and corresponding Issue counts. To fix these issues, the report links directly to the Cloud Issues UI, with appropriate filters set for faster investigation and remediation.

Note: All users with access to the reporting beta will see the Cloud Compliance Issues report, with an appropriate message if you do not have Snyk Cloud and/or integrated IaC enabled. Please reach out to your account team for questions about access.

Container Registry Agent adding HTTPS configuration

 

Improved

  

We are excited to announce the improvement of our Container Registry Agent (CRA). Previously CRA could only be configured to run an HTTP server. Now, The Container Registry Agent runs an HTTP server by default. Additionally, it is configurable to run an HTTPS server for local connections.

This new improvement allows the broker image and CRA to communicate in HTTPS. Please download the latest CRA image in Docker Hub and follow the configuration instruction in Snyk Public Docs.

Improved Fingerprinting for Snyk Code

 

Improved

  

We are excited to announce improvements with the way fingerprinting is done in Snyk Code!

A fingerprinting algorithm is a procedure that maps an arbitrarily large data item to a much shorter bit string, its fingerprint, that uniquely identifies the original data for all practical purposes.

With our reporting functionality recently in Open Beta, the new fingerprinting will make the experience of viewing and retrieving issues data even easier and smoother.

Note, due to this, in the Code Reporting, you may see large numbers of both new and resolved issues.

We advise you to retest your projects.

Once retesting:

  • Many issues will get new, “permanent” issue IDs (in the context of that Snyk project) and this will mean their old issue IDs will disappear.
  • Reporting uses issue IDs to track their status, so this changeover will appear as a lot of issues being new and a lot of issues being resolved.
  • These numbers also may not match exactly since, in the past, multiple issues could share the same old issue ID but that will no longer be the case.
  • The URL of the issue on the Project page will stay the same - so any open tickets via Jira will remain linked.
