Plus:

• New rules linked to code redundancy, helping to increase the readability and reliability coverage of your Kotlin code
• 6 new Python rules for the Django framework and 3 new quick fixes

This release brings Security Hotspot reporting in your IDE, plus new Quick Fixes for Java and Python.

A Security Hotspot highlights a security-sensitive piece of code requiring developer review. With this latest release, SonarLint for IntelliJ v8.0 will now alert you to any unreviewed Security Hotspot that is present in the source files you are working on. 

This means any new hotspots introduced by you will be instantly flagged, directly in your favorite IntelliJ IDE.

SonarLint then offers information about why this is an issue, helps you assess the risk, and offers guidance on how to fix it. Then, simply right-click on the Security Hotspot, and choose Review on Server, to open the Hotspot in SonarQube*, and set the output of the review. 

*Available for users of SonarQube (min version 9.7) in connected mode to SonarLint.

Plus:

•  We've added 11 new Quick Fixes for Java and 17 for Python

Find more details in our release notes and community announcement.

This release delivers additional improvements to our rule descriptions for injection vulnerabilities, plus new rules for C++ users.

Building upon the structured rule descriptions introduced in v7.3 that help you understand injection vulnerabilities, we have introduced two further enhancements:

• SonarLint can now automatically select the most appropriate patch instruction based on the library or framework you are using. Available today with a selection of injection vulnerabilities, this feature will be progressively extended to more rules.
• We've added a "More info" tab (see image below) within the rule description that delivers educational content with our "Clean Code Principles".  This is designed to help you build Clean Code using the Sonar Clean as You Code methodology.

Plus:

• 13 new rules to help with C++ 20's std::format feature

Find more details in our release notes and community announcement.

This release delivers additional help to assist whilst investigating injection vulnerabilities in your IDE, plus additional support for Front-end Developers!

We have introduced more structured rule descriptions to help you better understand injection vulnerabilities. Now, when investigating taint vulnerabilities detected by SonarQube analysis directly in your IDE, you can not only visualize the data injection flows directly in the source code but also understand the potential impact and how to fix it.

In addition, this version helps all Front-end Developers deliver Clean Code by extending support for the following front-end languages:

• CSS analysis in all IntelliJ IDEs supported by SonarLint
• JavaScript, TypeScript, and HTML in Rider

Plus:

• For .NET developers in Rider, we have improved support for the C#11 language features.
• For C++ developers in CLion, you now have 6 new rules to cover C++20’s concepts.
• For JavaScript developers, another 6 new rules for detecting performance issues in React.

This release brings additional productivity enhancements for teams using Connected Mode to SonarQube 9.6 and above.

Using Connected Mode to SonarQube, and delivering access to the complete Sonar solution, issue synchronization will happen automatically and in real-time, thanks to server-sent events.

Thus, when suppressing an issue in SonarQube, or when the branch analysis detects a new SQL injection, this will be synced to SonarLint in seconds - with no need to refresh - ensuring team alignment.

As a reminder, binding your local project to SonarQube using Connected Mode:

• Keeps noise to a minimum by avoiding reporting any issues already reviewed and marked as “Won’t Fix” or “False Positive” by yourself or other contributors in SonarQube.

• Will pull, and help you investigate, any taint vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL injections) detected by SonarQube (starting from Developer Edition) in your IntelliJ IDE.

Available when using SonarLint alone, or in connected mode to SonarCloud, these complement the many quick fixes already supported for selected rules in Java, Javascript, Typescript, C and C++.

Additionally, for Java developers, 7 new rules are available to help build clean cloud-native applications for AWS and avoid common pitfalls.  A description of the new rules can be found here. Plus, a further 6 rules dedicated to regular expressions, helping to reduce their complexity for better readability and maintainability.
