Release Date: August 03, 2026

This minor release enhances job management and reporting with bulk scheduling, persistent notifications, and improved dashboard visibility. It includes critical fixes for SBOM processing, large file handling, and archived scan results, plus better container scanning support—focused on stability and usability improvements.

Highlights

Consolidated CVE Visibility
A new CVEs tab on the report page displays all identified vulnerabilities in a single, deduplicated view. This makes it easier to assess threats across your scans without duplicate entries cluttering your analysis.

High-Side Scanning
You can now opt to run scans on the high side, enabling secure cross-domain transfer workflows for high-security environments where data compartmentalization is critical.

In-App Tutorial
A new guided tutorial walks you through the latest features and improvements with each release. Stay informed about what's new without leaving the application, ensuring you can quickly discover and adopt the latest capabilities.

Improved Job Management
Manage your scan schedules more efficiently with bulk delete capabilities for upcoming jobs and new filtering options on the jobs table. The jobs view now displays Repository and Reference information for better organization tracking.

Better Visibility & Reporting
The dashboard now features clickable "Top Risky Packages" cards that instantly navigate to detailed package analysis filtered to critical vulnerabilities. Scan-in-progress reports default to the Files tab for faster insights, and package details are now available directly in scan results with a dedicated drawer.

Persistent Notifications
A new notification center keeps you informed throughout your workflow. Export progress updates and scan outcomes now display as persistent notifications in your session, making it easy to track activity without disruption.

Container Scanning Updates
Container job configuration now supports the "latest" reference option, streamlining image scanning workflows.
