Releases

Finding Import

This release adds the ability to import findings and targets from files generated by over 120 different scanners and tools!

Go to the 'Tool Import' section in the assessment dropdown to begin. Upload a file, select the matching tool (such as Nessus, Qualys, Nmap, or Burp Suite) and let Reporter work its magic. Be sure to check the export instructions for your particular tool.

Reporter parses these files into an intermediate format. Researchers can then choose which targets and findings they want to import into the assessment. You can import targets in one click, and when importing findings Reporter will fill in as much as possible to make importing a breeze.

Requires Attention

In nginx.conf the following setting must be added to HTTP: client_max_body_size 250M; to allow larger file uploads.

The default researcher and reviewer roles can now create targets. This is done so they can import targets from files. Custom roles are not updated automatically. They should be updated manually by granting them the 'Create Targets' permission.

As of this release, file storage is no longer encrypted by Reporter. The storage should be encrypted through a cloud storage provider or local encryption. See the Security chapter of the documentation. Because of this change, the update may take longer than usual when all existing files are decrypted.

Markdown Standard Changes

*italic* is now the default notation for italics. Underscores in words, such as in a_b_c are no longer interpreted as italics.

Newlines in paragraphs are now rendered as new lines. For example:

line 1.
line 2.

used to be rendered as:

line 1. line 2.

From now on, it will instead be rendered as:

line 1.
line 2.

Improvements

• Changing internal fields in the assessment, such as internal details, no longer regenerates the PDF reports.
• Setting an assessment to the status 'Scheduled' with a start date today or in the past now sets it to the status 'Active' instead.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a number of cases where new reports weren't generated when they should be.
• Fixed an issue where the researcher panel filter reappeared after being unset.
• Fixed a bug where the tasks assigned mail had an incorrect link.
• Fixed a bug where storing an 'Under Review' finding would fail to create a 'requested a review'-event and review task.
• Fixed a bug where storing a 'False Positive' retest would set the severity to 'OK' instead.
• Fixed a bug where the wrong tab would briefly start open on the assessment page.
• Fixed a bug where empty lines in non-highlighted code blocks did not appear in the pdf reports.
• Fixed a bug where clicking on a locked section in the researcher panel would redirect to the dashboard.

Additions

• Cloned findings can now be deleted in the original assessment.
• Added a 'Severity Only' scoring system that lets you select a severity from 'Info' to 'Critical' without providing impact/likelihood or CVSS metrics.

Changes

• 'Researcher briefing updated' notifications are now only sent if the assessment status is active or under review

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where notifications about new tasks would count tasks that were already completed.
• Fixed a bug where toast notifications without a sender would not appear.
• Sign-in with Google/Microsoft is now blocked in Internet Explorer.
• Fixed a bug where a vulnerable finding could be created without a status. This made it impossible to move them to a new assessment.
• Fixed a bug where some Acunetix, all Burp Suite and VulnDB templates had a severity of Not Applicable

Real-Time Notifications 

This release adds real-time notifications for users. By clicking on the bell icon real-time notifications can be paused.

Real-time notification functionality is only available when Pusher has been configured. 

Besides real-time notifications, the logic behind the notifications has improved, resulting in less email being sent and content that is more relevant.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where a deadline of a previous phase was shown on the dashboard and assessment show pages.
• Fixed a bug where copy to clipboard after inline edit would copy old results.
• Inviting a user or removing a user now always adds/removes their icon on the assessment show page.
• Creating a finding from a template no longer stores the classifications from the template not used in the assessment.

Assessment Schedule

Several new dates have been added for the assessment phases. Each phase now has a 'Research Start Date' and a 'Research Deadline', a 'Review Start Date' and a 'Review Deadline', and a 'Delivery Date'.

A schedule/agenda view has been added for assessment phases, accessible via the main menu. Each phase is separated into Research, Research Overtime, Review, and Finalization steps. The schedule can be filtered by assessment and user.

The dashboard assessments table now shows users based on the assessment's status. It shows the researchers assigned to the latest phase if for 'Active' assessments, reviewers for 'Under Review', and any assessment managers for other statuses. This should give a much better overview of who is supposed to be working on which assessment right now. In addition, clients now always see the managers of an assessment in a contacts column.

Task Deadlines

Tasks now have deadlines. Most task deadlines are based on the deadline set in the current assessment phase. For example, a task to review a finding will use the 'Review Deadline' as a deadline.

• Deadlines for custom tasks can be set when creating or editing them.
• Deadlines for tasks from task sets can be preset in the task set before or in the individual tasks afterward.
• Deadlines for tasks that don't relate to assessment phases, such as global tasks or comment tasks, can be set in business days from the Settings > Settings > Functionality page.

Tasks are only shown in the various overviews if they are relevant based on the assessment's status. For example, a task to add a finding to a section that requires findings is not shown until the assessment status is set to  'Active'.

A task overview has been added to the dashboard. For researchers, this shows how many tasks they have in each assessment, and how many of them are due in the future, today or in the past. Admins also have a tab to show unassigned tasks, and one to show tasks that are due today or overdue.

Other new and improved features

• Scheduled assessments are now automatically set to 'Active' on the Research Start Date.
• Added a 'Complete Assessment' button to the researcher panel if there are no caution tags, no drafts, and the assessment is has a 'Review Completed' status.
• Assessment Phases are now completed when the assessment is. Only one uncompleted phase can exist.
• Requesting a retest now also creates a retest phase if no uncompleted retest phase exists.
• Impersonating a user now creates an activity.
• Users of Internet Explorer now see a warning that their browser is not supported and can no longer log in.
• Added search functionality and filters to clients.
• Improved the links in some tasks to lead directly to the associated event or (prefilled) form.
• Added (deactivated) after the names of blocked users in the application. This is not shown in reports, emails, or the API.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a typo in the caption of the results table component.
• Fixed a bug where no activity was created when deleting a finding.
• Fixed several issues on the review page related to loading new pages in the tabs.
• Fixed a bug where documents could not be retrieved via the API.
• Fixed a bug where filtering activities in an assessment could show activities from other assessments.
• Fixed an issue where date pickers would not close when clicking outside them.
• Fixed an issue where finding templates weren't updated in Elasticsearch when their associated sections changed.

Support for CWE and CAPEC Classifications

The classification of findings has been reworked. MITRE Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE), MITRE Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC), and Bugcrowd Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy are currently supported. For MITRE based classifications, it is possible to examine the entries by using views.

The classification systems used can be set for each assessment, and the default classification systems for new assessments can be set from the settings page. Classifications have been added to finding templates where available.

Other new and improved features

• Researcher panel buttons have been reworked.
• Sections that contain caution tags are displayed with an icon in the researcher panel.
• The action-required tooltips in the researcher panel have been improved.
• Docker image is now based on Debian Bullseye.
• Snippets for OWASP and CVSS risk assessment sections are now seeded and included in the relevant sections of seeded assessment types and assessments.
• Blocking/Deleting of users has been improved.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where the copy markdown button didn't work after editing a markdown field.
• Fixed caution tags in retests check.
• Added existence checks for broadcasting. Loading broadcast channels will no longer rarely crash if a model has been deleted or access has been revoked.
• Copy tags are now removed from the PDF instead of being shown as "[copy][/copy]" in reports.
