Announcement New Data Center app security scanners coming soon

Midway through this quarter, we’ll be adding new Data Center app scanners to our suite of scanners (Ecoscanner) that scans Data Center apps listed on the Marketplace.

Here is what we’ll be scanning for:

  • Use of hardcoded secrets in Marketplace Data Center apps

  • Potential malware in Marketplace Data Center apps

More details

To expand on this, the new DC app scanners will include:

  • Secret scanner: The new secret scanner will look for any hard-coded secrets in DC apps that could potentially pose a security risk if exposed. We engineered the scanner to detect secrets and manage potential security risks, ensuring that customer data remains protected from unauthorized access.

  • Malware scanner: Atlassian has implemented a robust malware scanning system for all Data Center applications in the Marketplace. This scan aims to identify and mitigate potential malware threats, thereby enhancing the security and integrity of our DC applications.

If a risk is detected: Atlassian will alert the app developer so they may investigate. If there is a critical risk, we recommend that Marketplace Partners notify customers.

We won’t begin issuing these new tickets to partners at this time; this is a preliminary announcement and an opportunity for partners to prepare. Atlassian plans on issuing tickets after August 15th 2024 via the AMS Jira project.

We are committed to working collaboratively with partners to continue improving the security of our Marketplace and fostering trust with our customers.

Partners with Partner Portal access can view the announcement in the Partner Portal blog.
