    December 2025 release notes summary

    • Added a new Priority tab on Findings page to display high-priority findings. Each product has default priority categories, and Semgrep admins can customize the Priority tab to control which findings appear. Admins can save Priority tab filters for all users.
    • Added a new Provisionally ignored finding status.
    • Semgrep Secrets findings are now assigned a severity of Critical. This applies to Secrets findings from scans performed after November 2025. Any existing findings from those rules will be updated to Critical after the project's next full scan.
    • Pull request comments for findings generated using Semgrep-authored rules now include Assistant-generated explanations to help developers understand the findings. The summary message can be expanded to show additional details.
    • Added support for Cursor post-generation hooks, enabling Semgrep to integrate with Cursor workflows after code generation.
    • The Findings page now has improved navigation and more intuitive links. The code path now opens the finding's Details page, and an in-product tour introduces the new layout.
