June 2025: Delivered key features and security-oriented refactor for Checkmarx/ast-cli. Upgraded critical container tooling (containers-resolver, containers-images-extractor, containers-syft-packages-extractor) to latest versions, and relocated container resolution artifacts to a hidden .checkmarx/containers directory to improve security and maintainability. Fixed bugs related to hidden folder usage and container resolution path (AST-88922). These changes reduce security risk, improve reliability of container scanning, and support smoother future upgrades.
