Synapse-VirusTotal Changelog

v5.5.0 - 2025-09-26

Features and Enhancements

  • Added additional language codes to the lookup table when ingesting PE resource details.

  • Updated unknown language warning to only occur once per code during ingests.

v5.4.0 - 2025-05-30

Automatic Migrations

  • Deleted inet:web:acct and inet:web:attachment nodes that were previously migrated in Synapse-VirusTotal v5.0.0.

v5.3.0 - 2025-03-07

Features and Enhancements

  • Added new endpoints section in command help to document the endpoints used by each command, accessible via the --help flag.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug in the v5.0.0 migration of inet:web:acct and inet:web:attachment nodes where the migration would fail when the data being migrated was in a view other than the default view. If the migration failed, it would have failed early and without loss of data but may have created a stray inet:service:account or inet:service:message:attachment node in the default view.

  • Revised the examples for the virustotal.url.relationships command to use the comments and downloaded_files relationships.

  • Fixed an issue where file reports with missing SHA-256 hashes were not being ingested correctly.

v5.2.0 - 2025-02-19

Features and Enhancements

  • Updated ingest for domain and URL reports to set it:av:scan:result:categories for scanners which provide categorization information.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue where file signing certificates with missing validity timestamps were not handled correctly.

v5.1.0 - 2025-02-05
