What’s New
Latest Release: Version 1.1.3
Following are the improvements made in the last releases:
Improvements in 1.1.3
- With this release, we use the upgraded third-party library to render graphical charts to display vulnerability results in the Jenkins scan report section.
- On the Qualys Vulnerability Results page, in the Vulnerabilities tab, we have added 2 new filters, Exploitable and Associated Malware, to help you find vulnerabilities that have exploitable and associated malware information in the Qualys KnowledgeBase. We have removed the CVSS columns from the vulnerability table. You will see this information when you expand a QID row.
Improvements in 1.1.2
We replaced the Scan Build Status field in the Header section of the Scan Report page with Scan Evaluation Status. This field denotes the scan evaluation pass/fail status based on scan results and evaluation criteria configured.
With this release, we will now support AE Platform (Dubai). If your VM account resides on this platform, then select this platform from the Your Qualys Portal drop-down field in the API Login section on the plugin configuration page.
Improvements in 1.1.1
Added a new option “All Scanners in Network” in the Scanner Name drop-down field
You will now see a new option All Scanners in Network in the Scanner Name drop-down field when selecting a scanner name. When you select this option, the backend will launch a scan using any of the scanners that are currently available in your network. Select this option if you are not sure that the scanner that you have selected for the scan will be available for the next scan.
Report to show a link to view the scan report on the Qualys Portal
The Scan Results page will show a link in the Scan Report field that will allow you to view the vulnerability scan report on the Qualys Portal.
Improvements in 1.1.0
Added a new field on the configuration page to choose a network
You can now launch a scan from your custom network. We added a new field, Network, on the configuration page. When you select a Network, we will the system show you all the scanners in the selected network. You can select one of these scanners to launch the scan. Ensure the customer network support option is enabled for your subscription.
Improvements in 1.0.6
Fixed Issue
We added a fix that will allow the plugin to correctly interpret special characters in the connector and option profile names, allowing valid data to be passed in API calls made through the plugin.
Improvements in 1.0.5
Drop-down provided to Select Qualys platform.
We now provide a drop-down that you can use to select your Qualys platform that has your account in the API login section for accessing the Qualys VM API.
Support environment variable for Host IP and EC2 instance Id
Qualys Host Scanning Connector will now also support environment variable input for the Freestyle project's Host IP and EC2 instance ID. The format for specifying the environment variable is env.{variable name}. For example, env.hostIp for Host IP where hostIp is the variable name or env.ec2Id for EC2 instance Id, where ec2Id is the variable name.
See the Qualys Host Scanning Connector for Jenkins guide for more information on improvement.
Fixed Issue
Qualys Host Scanning Connector will now retry API calls if encountered by the 'concurrent API limit reached' error. Retries will occur every 2 seconds for 2 minutes or until the plugin receives 200 responses.
