Secrets Detection​

Platform​

  • Jira Data Center issue tracking integration: We now support Jira Data Center integration for issue tracking. This feature includes:
    • automatic creation of a Jira issue as soon as a new incident is triggered,
    • management of Jira custom fields,
    • and an auto-resolve feature that marks the incident as resolved in your dashboard when the issue is closed in Jira. More information available in the documentation.
  • GitLab integration: Added the ability to configure an instance-level GitLab integration using a read-only admin token. However, since the token lacks permissions for creating system hooks, manual setup is required. Learn more.
  • Check runs: Added the option to improve your code security by enabling GitGuardian check runs on their GitHub forked repositories. Learn more here.
  • VCS integration: Workspace Managers can now disable automatic repository monitoring in GitGuardian, giving you more control when adding new repositories to your perimeter. For an example, see GitHub integration.

Self-Hosted​

  • Helm: front.ingress has been renamed ingress to improve consistency and standardize the ingress object across the Helm chart. ⚠️ This release includes breaking changes. Upgrade to 2024.12.0 using the upgrade notes.
  • Cluster management: Replaced the nginx container with Ingress support, compatible with several controllers (ingress-nginx, traefik, contour, aws_alb, openshift, istio). This feature is optional and disabled by default. For more details, refer to the ingress page.
  • Admin Area: Added a Worker Tasks page for monitoring task activity and worker usage to help optimize scaling and performance.
  • Applicative Metrics: Added the following metrics: gim_periodic_task_period_seconds, gim_periodic_task_not_run_for_seconds, gim_check_runs_long_running, gim_health_check_result_count, and gim_outdated_health_check_count for better monitoring and insight. For more details, refer to the Applicative metrics page.
  • Support Bundle: Enhanced diagnose_instance to include celery worker data.
  • KOTS: Minor UI updates to the KOTS Admin Console, replacing radio buttons with dropdowns in some cases.
  • Historical Scan: Added minutes_between_scans_per_source in the preference table.
  • License: The license check is now managed by the ReplicatedSDK for all installation types, replacing the previous reliance on KOTS for this function in KOTS installations.

Bug fixes​

  • Health Check: Fixed issue where health checks were run for all GitHub installations. Now only the first installation is checked.
  • License: Corrected license info display in the Admin Area for Helm installations.
  • Historical Scans: Categorized certain unknown scans that should have been identified as timeout failures.

Deprecation notice​

  • Policy breaks: Starting with the 2024.12 version, the Policy Breaks module will be removed from your dashboard as we enhance our focus on our core Secrets Security offering.
    Deprecating the Policy Breaks module will not affect your overall security coverage; it will only reduce the number of alerts you receive. Previously, alerts for Policy Breaks incidents (such as an exposed .env  file) required manual investigation to determine if they contained secrets. Our “Secrets detection” module already handles the detection, incident creation, and alerting for these secrets.

Secrets Detection​

Platform​

  • ServiceNow integration: This new issue tracking integration allows to create ServiceNow issues from GitGuardian incidents. The feature includes the following:

    • possibility to create a ServiceNow issue directly from a GitGuardian incident;
    • possibility to automate the creation of a ServiceNow issue for any new GitGuardian incident;
    • auto-resolve setting to mark the incident as resolved in your dashboard when the issue is closed in ServiceNow.

    Follow our documentation to configure the integration.

  • Check runs: GitHub's custom properties can now be leveraged to override the GitGuardian global configuration of check runs. This allows customization at both the repository and organization levels. For more details, please refer to our dedicated documentation.

  • Historical Scan: New "Bulk Historical Scans Management" page for easy tracking, filtering, and detailed insights on all scans.

  • Members: You now have the option to deactivate a member instead of deleting them. For more details, refer to our documentation.

  • API:

    • All Sources endpoints now require specific scopes for access. The new sources:read scope is required for all GET endpoints to retrieve source information, while the sources:write scope is required for the PATCH endpoint to update a source's attributes, monitoring status, and business criticality.
    • A new parameter, send_email: true|false, is now available on endpoints that trigger an email notification, such as when an invitation is created. This allows you to determine whether an email should be sent when using these endpoints. By default, if the parameter is not specified, the email will be sent.

Self-Hosted​

  • Helm:

    • Replace the legacy parameter replicated.images.replicated-sdk with the new parameters replicated.image.repository and replicated.image.tag. ⚠️ This release includes breaking changes. Upgrade to 2024.11.0 using the upgrade notes.
    • Added replicated.privateCASecret parameter to specify a custom CA when using a proxy. Learn more.

  • Health Check: Distribute health checks over time rather than executing them simultaneously. This reduces system load, avoids bottlenecks, and enhances monitoring accuracy.

    ⚠️ The settings.healthCheck.periodicInterval in the Helm chart is now deprecated and replaced by spread_periodic_range_minutes in the admin area.

  • Applicative Metrics: If you are using Prometheus to export GitGuardian metrics or to leverage our autoscaling capabilities, and your installation type is KOTS, ensure that you update the Kubernetes Application RBAC by adding the patch permission to the servicemonitors resource.

Bug fixes​

  • Incidents: Notify team leaders only when a valid secret is intentionally ignored.
  • Perimeter: Fixed inaccurate historical scanning statistics displayed on the side panel of the perimeter page.
  • Historical Scans:
    • Fixed UI count on the perimeter page so that "sources successful" now shows the total count of monitored sources, regardless of failed or unscanned sources.
    • Standardized the date format for start and end dates in the status tooltip.
    • Corrected the repo size display in the status tooltip.
  • API: Resolved an issue where an error was raised if the IP address could not be found, even when the IP allowlist setting was disabled. This occurred in an on-premises instance, causing the PAT endpoint of the public API to become non-functional.
  • Proxy: Support HTTP proxy when customCA is used for the Replicated SDK used for license management and telemetry collection. Nothing to do if you are using KOTS, if you are using helm, set isAirgap to false and configure your HTTP proxy following the example.
