Lucent Sky AVM 2.7 released

Today we released Lucent Sky AVM 2.7. This release enables applications to be scanned faster and with higher accuracy, and also provides improved reporting and interfaces that resonate with development teams, engineering managers and security professionals.

Here are some quick highlights of the release:

Enhanced analysis accuracy - Lucent Sky AVM relies on six different analysis engines for vulnerability identification and mitigation. With this release, the contextual analysis engine was rebuilt and the semantic analysis engine was improved. These enhancements will allow for higher accuracy (lower false positives and lower false negatives) as well as for greater source code coverage.
Increased Java compatibility and faster scans - The compilation engine for Java was redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up to increase compatibility with Java applications. A great “side effect” of this is a dramatic improvement in performance. Scanning Java applications is now up to 300% faster.
Mitigation “Diff” - The option to create a “diff” file between the mitigated source code and the original one has been added to the Web UI, the CLI and the API. The “diff” file is an XML file that documents every change made to the original source code, and the mitigated vulnerability corresponding to each change.
UI enhancements - Several minor UI enhancements were included as a result of customer feedback. One example is the support of direct uploading and downloading of JAR files (.jar) and WAR files (.war) through the Web UI.
