New version of CQM (v1.2.12) and Kiuwan Engine
A new Kiuwan’s CQM version (v.1.2.12) is available.
Basically, v1.2.12 contains new Security rules for HTML, Java and JSP.
- If you are using CQM, these new rules are active and will be applied to new analyses.
- If you are using your own custom model, you can activate them in case you want to be applied to your code.
In order for these new rules be applicable, your Kiuwan account must allow for automatic engine upgrade. Unless you have blocked Kiuwan Engine, Kiuwan Local Analyzer will automatically upgrade it to the last version once a new analysis is run.
You can find new rules by comparing v1.2.12 of CQM against previous version. A detailed description of the behavior of these new rules is available in rule’s description.
