Professional Edition 1.0.1 Release Notes

Puma Scan’s 1.0.1 release is an update for the Puma Scan End User, Server, and Azure DevOps Editions.

System Requirements

• End User Edition requires Visual Studio v15.9 or higher.

• Server Edition requires a Windows Server with the following:

  • .NET Framework v4.7.2

  • The Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 are both supported. Ensure you have at least 1 of the following installed:

    • Build Tools 2017 version 15.8 or higher

    • Build Tools 2019 version 16.4 or higher

• Azure DevOps Edition requires a hosted Azure Build Pipeline using the vs2017-win2016 or windows-2019 build agent.

Framework Enhancements

• Bug fix: False positives displaying for SEC0120 - Missing Authorization Attribute. The AuthorizationFilterAttribute in the System.Web.Http.Filters namespace is not correctly recognized by the Puma Scan engine.

Azure DevOps Edition

• Critical patch: Azure hosted windows-2019 build agents are being migrated to image version 20200820.1, which uses the latest version of MSBuild (>=16.7). MSBuild (>=16.7) causes the following exception when running the build task:

  Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe, Version=4.0.4.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
  

  Azure DevOps users will need to update their build pipeline definitions from Puma Scan build task 0.* to 1.* to correct this issue.

Server Edition

• Critical patch: The latest versions of MSBuild (>=16.7) throws the following exception for Puma Scan Server Editions < 1.0.

  Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe, Version=4.0.4.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
  

  Server Edition users will need to upgrade to Puma Scan Server Edition > 1.0 to correct this issue.

• Enhancement: License details are now included when executing Puma Scan with the --system-identification switch.

End User Edition

• Bug fix: In the About menu, license details are not always fully visible when using Puma Scan Professional End User Edition on a display with a small resolution.
