Release Date: April 27, 2026

We're excited to announce that file attachment scanning is now supported for Jira Cloud, Jira Data Center, Confluence Cloud, and Confluence Data Center.

You can now detect secrets in both textual content and uploaded files, giving you full coverage across your Atlassian sources.

Why this matters

Security-relevant content is frequently shared as screenshots, exported logs, reports, and documents attached to tickets or wiki pages. By scanning both attachments and page or issue content, GitGuardian helps you reduce missed exposures and improve remediation coverage across your Atlassian environment.

• Complete source coverage: Detect leaks in issue/page content and file attachments.
• Fewer blind spots: Catch secrets hidden in uploaded logs, reports, screenshots, and documents.
• Consistent experience: Atlassian attachment coverage now aligns with existing support in Microsoft Teams, Slack and other Corporate Data Sources.

Already using Jira or Confluence sources? Here's what you need to know:

• New scopes required: Attachment scanning rely on additional API scopes for Jira and Confluence Cloud (read:attachment:jira on Jira Cloud and readonly:content.attachment:confluence on Confluence Cloud). Reinstall each affected integration from Settings → Integrations → Sources so new OAuth applications include the new permissions.
• Run Full Historical Scan: To avoid any blindspot, we strongly recommend you re-execute the entire historical scans from your Confluence and Jira sources. This will ensure GitGuardian scans all attachments from the past.

Enhancements​

• Public API: Removed the deprecated Honeytoken Labels API endpoints. Customers using custom tags should now use the Custom Tags API instead.
• Jira Notification: Jira templates now flag unsupported required fields at configuration time, preventing configurations from being saved with fields that would fail at send time.
• GitHub Check runs: Improved reliability of GitHub PR checks during partial outages for workspaces using GitGuardian Bridge.

  Release Date: July 7, 2025

Following the introduction of the historical scanning for Confluence Data Center, we’ve kept the pace with the support of that capability for Jira Data Center!

What's new?

Previously, our integration would surface hardcoded secrets in real-time, alerting you to newly introduced risks as soon as they appeared. With this update, we’re extending our detection to include secrets that were leaked in the past—not just those introduced going forward.

Why does this matter?

Once a secret is leaked, it should always be considered compromised, regardless of when the leak occurred. By surfacing historical secrets, you can now:

• Identify and remediate old, forgotten leaks that may still pose a security risk.
• Reach a comprehensive security posture by ensuring that no secrets—past or present—slip through the cracks.
• Take proactive action to rotate or revoke secrets that may have been exposed long ago.

Check out our Jira Data Center documentation to see how to use this feature now!

Fixes​

• Email Notifications: Improved email delivery logic for Microsoft Teams integrations to prevent excessive notification sending during periodic scans.
