A Year of Updates [2024] – Dradis Pro

Dradis exists to give pentesting teams more time to do what they do best, cutting the busywork from cybersecurity projects by automating pentest reporting and streamlining collaboration.

To achieve this, we’re continually improving the product. Fixing bugs and adding/improving features. 

Let’s look back on the updates that shaped Dradis Pro in 2024. From major feature rollouts to smaller, user-requested enhancements, our focus remained on delivering tools that help streamline workflows and improve reporting efficiency.

v4.12: Enhanced Mappings Manager and CVSSv4 Support

Released in May 2024

  • Overhauled Mappings Manager: We’ve revamped the Mappings Manager to associate configurations directly with specific report templates and their properties. This change allows for distinct plugin mappings tailored to each report template, streamlining your reporting process.
  • CVSSv4 Calculator Integration: Responding to user feedback, we’ve integrated a CVSSv4 calculator into Dradis Pro. You can now assess vulnerabilities using CVSSv4, with the flexibility to include outputs from multiple calculator versions within the same issue.
  • API Enhancements for Attachments: The API now provides additional functionalities for attachments, including access to size, creation date, and direct download links, enhancing automation and integration capabilities.
  • Official AWS and Azure Support: Our Dradis images for AWS and Azure have transitioned from beta to officially supported status, ensuring reliable deployments when following our documented methods.

v4.13: Advanced Liquid Support and Scheduler Integration

Released in August 2024

  • Expanded Liquid Functionality: We’ve broadened Liquid support, making Liquid drops available at more levels. This enhancement enables dynamic content generation, such as auto-generated executive summaries that summarize recommendations based on issue severity and evidence locations.
  • Project Scheduler Calendar Integration: The Project Scheduler now offers secure links to .ics files, facilitating integration with third-party calendar applications like Outlook, Thunderbird, and Apple Calendar. This feature ensures seamless scheduling and project management across platforms.
  • Auto-Detection of Word Report Template Properties: To simplify template configuration, Dradis Pro can now auto-detect report template properties upon template upload. This automation reduces manual setup, ensuring accurate project generation, validation, and export.

v4.14: Issue Library Synchronization and Quality Assurance

Released in October 2024

  • Synchronized Issues and Issue Library Entries: We’ve introduced synchronization between project issues and Issue Library entries. This feature allows for real-time updates and consistency, enabling you to sync content between associated issues and library entries seamlessly.
  • Quality Assurance for Issue Library: A new QA view for the Issue Library lets you review, edit, and manage entries with version history tracking. This addition ensures that reusable issues maintain high quality and consistency across projects.
  • Liquid Support for Issue Sorting Fields: We’ve added Liquid support for issue sorting fields, allowing you to use Liquid code within sorting fields without affecting the sort order. The evaluated result of the Liquid code determines the sorting, providing dynamic and customized report organization.
