Release 1.42

March 10, 2026

Added Support for new Operating Systems

CS Sensor 1.42 expands the coverage for the OS of scan targets by introducing support for the following Operating Systems.

• BellSoft Alpaquita Linux - A minimal, secure distro optimized for production workloads.
• Arch Linux - A highly customizable, advanced-user distro with rolling updates. 

Support for a new Scan Type - File Insight 

Earlier, CS Sensor enabled its support for OS, SCA, and Secret scans on images. With this release, it offers the 'File Insight' scan for images. 

The File Insight scan collects detailed metadata of files encountered during scans based on configured rules. The scan captures attributes such as file path, size, permissions, hashes, MIME type, origin layer (for images), and executable metadata (ELF/PE). By default, OS-installed system files are excluded from results. 

Usage: --scan-types <scan type> 
Default values: pkg, fileinsight
