The IAST capability should only be used in pre-production environments and never in production.
The New Relic Security Agent enables instrumentation of a Java application for Interactive Application Security Testing(IAST) and exposes exploitable vulnerabilities.
This project is built and published as a dependency for use in newrelic-java-agent only. Hence this can not be used directly. Typically, most users use the version auto-installed by the APM agent. You can see agent install instructions here.
- Java version 8 and above
The agent automatically instruments the following frameworks.
- JAX-RS 1.0 to latest

IAST for gRPC requires the dependency protobuf-java-util for IAST request replay.
By default, GraphQL instrumentation is disabled in IAST as it is an experimental feature. To take advantage of this feature enable GraphQL instrumentation, update your configuration by adding the following settings under the class_transformer section:
class_transformer:

The Java agent uses a variety of JDK versions when building and running tests. These need to be installed and configured for your environment.
Edit or create the ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file and add the following JDKs, ensuring that the vendors/versions match what is installed in your environment (Mac OS X examples shown).
JDK 8 is required to build the agent:
jdk8=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-8.jdk/Contents/Home
Additionally, the -PtestN Gradle property can be used to run tests on a specific JDK version which may require further JDK configuration. To keep test times reasonable the project only allows testing against supported LTS Java releases as well as the latest non-LTS release of Java. For example to run tests with Java 17, the -Ptest17 Gradle property would cause the test to use jdk17 as configured below:
jdk17=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-17.jdk/Contents/Home
To build the agent dependency jar, run the following series of commands
From APM Java agent root directory :
./gradlew clean :newrelic-api:publishToMavenLocal :agent-bridge:publishToMavenLocal :agent-bridge-datastore:publishToMavenLocal :newrelic-weaver-api:publishToMavenLocal :newrelic-weaver:publishToMavenLocal :newrelic-weaver-scala:publishToMavenLocal :newrelic-weaver-scala-api:publishToMavenLocal --parallel
From CSEC java agent root dir :
./gradlew clean :newrelic-security-api:publishToMavenLocal
./gradlew clean jar --parallel
Final artifacts should be present at <csec project root directory>/newrelic-security-agent/build/libs
To publish csec agent on maven local use below command :
./gradlew clean publishToMavenLocal
