Snyk Code: July Release with C++ rules, Java library coverage, and JavaScript Insecure Transmission
Snyk Code July release expands C++ security detection with new rules for log forging, privilege management, authorization, and TLS configuration, adds JavaScript/TypeScript coverage for insecure transmission, and improves detection for popular Java libraries including Azure SDK, Logback, Kafka, and Jackson.
The July release expands Snyk Code coverage for C++ with several new rules and broader native C++ detection, improves detection for several popular Java libraries, and adds a new Insecure Transmission rule for JavaScript and TypeScript. These changes arrive with the July release on 13 July 2026
What's changing
New rules
Log Forging, C++ (CWE-117, high): flags untrusted user input reaching a logging sink, which can let an attacker forge or corrupt log entries.
Improper Privilege Management, C++ (CWE-269, high): flags a privilege-dropping call whose result is not verified; a failed call can leave the process running with elevated privileges.
Missing Authorization, C++ (CWE-862, CWE-732): flags overly permissive file permissions (world-writable or world-executable), and calls that pass root (UID or GID 0) to privilege-escalation or file-ownership functions.
SSL/TLS Certificate Verification Bypass, C++ (CWE-295, medium): detects disabled certificate verification across seven TLS frameworks (OpenSSL, Qt, mbedTLS, libcurl, Boost.Asio, libpq, libpqxx), which exposes connections to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Insecure TLS Configuration, C++ (CWE-327, high): detects insecure TLS configuration, such as enabling outdated TLS versions.
Sensitive Cookie Without Secure Attribute, C++ (CWE-614, low): flags cookies that omit the Secure attribute, either by default or explicitly set to false, leaving them exposed to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Insecure Transmission, JavaScript (CWE-319): detects cleartext transmission over insecure transports beyond HTTP. Initial coverage targets Redis clients (@redis/client, ioredis, redis) connecting over a non-TLS redis:// URL. New rule-key, separate from HttpToHttps.
New C++ coverage
Detection now extended to native C++ for:
Code Injection (CWE-94): across six framework modules: dlopen, LoadLibrary, Lua, CPython, Duktape, QuickJS.
Insecure Storage (CWE-922, info): sqlite, realm, leveldb, rocksdb, lmdb, Qt.
Insecure Cipher (CWE-327): broader native C++ crypto coverage (OpenSSL, Botan, libsodium, libtomcrypt, libgcrypt, Crypto++, mbedTLS).
Expanded Java library coverage
Improved detection for code using these popular Java libraries:
Azure SDK for Java (
com.azure:azure-core)Logback (
ch.qos.logback:logback-classic)Reactor Netty HTTP (
io.projectreactor.netty:reactor-netty-http)Apache Kafka clients (
org.apache.kafka:kafka-clients)Jackson (
com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databindandjackson-core)
