Custom Assessment and Remediation Release 2.5.2
June 25, 2025 (Updated on July 11, 2025)
Enhancements in Tag-based User Scope
The Tag-based User Scope feature is enhanced to include additional CAR entities beyond those introduced in the CAR 2.5.1 Release.
The scope of this feature now includes the following CAR entities:
- Scripts
- Schedules
- Jobs
- Blocked Commands
- Activity Logs
For more information on Tag-based User Scope, refer to CAR Online Help.
Visibility into Blocked Command Modifications
You can now view the names of the users who have created and updated each blocked command. We have introduced the following new columns in the Blocked Commands tab:
- Created By
- Updated By
To view this information, navigate to the Configuration > Blocked Commands tab.
Modify Script Parameters Without Editing the Script
Running scripts with different script parameter values is now possible without modifying the script itself. We have introduced the Script Parameters section, which enables you to modify script parameters in the parameterized script while configuring the script to run, test, or schedule.
The following image shows the Script Parameters section, where you can modify the value as required.
After running the script, you can view the modified parameters in the Script Parameters section by clicking the job in the Jobs tab.
Enhanced Custom QID Detection based on Script Output
For detection logic based on script output, you can now use multiple cardinalities to configure detection conditions as Detected or Not-Detected as per the Evaluation Criteria. If both conditions are not satisfied, no QIDs are detected.
For more information on detection logic based on script output, refer to CAR Online Help.
API Support:
Detection of QIDs using multiple conditions is also supported through CAR Scripts APIs. For more information, refer to the Support for Multiple Detection Conditions in Custom QID Scripts section in the CAR 2.5.2 API Release Notes.
