SonarLint for IntelliJ v8.0

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.

SonarLint for IntelliJ v7.4

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.

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.

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

SonarLint for IntelliJ v7.0

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.
