Faraday 5.22 is focused on helping security teams make better risk-based decisions, while also improving platform performance and reliability. This release introduces a workspace Risk Score that reflects real urgency instead of a diluted average, a security fix that users should apply now, and a set of workflow fixes that remove friction from daily operations.
Here’s what’s new.
Highlights
- A Smarter Workspace Risk Score
- Faster Performance for Large Datasets
- Smoother Security Workflows
- Critical Security Update
A Workspace Risk Score That Reflects Real Urgency
Workspace-level Risk Score no longer comes from a simple mathematical average across all vulnerabilities. The new model applies a severity-weighted, multiplicative calculation, so a single critical finding can no longer get diluted by dozens of low-severity ones.
The result is a workspace score designed to help security teams:
- Prioritize remediation efforts more effectively.
- Understand overall workspace exposure at a glance.
- Make operational decisions based on risk, not averages.
If your team relies on workspace dashboards or executive reporting, this update gives a more accurate picture of where attention is needed most.

Faster Vulnerability Tables at Scale
Large vulnerability datasets are now significantly faster to browse.
Fields that typically hold extensive content — Description, Request, Response, Resolution, and Data — now display as truncated previews (100 characters) inside vulnerability tables. This reduces rendering time and improves responsiveness without sacrificing access to the underlying information: full field content is still included when exporting to CSV.
Benefits:
- Faster page loads.
- Better performance in large workspaces.
- Improved usability without losing data fidelity.
Smoother Day-to-Day Operations
A set of workflow fixes shipped in this release to reduce friction in daily use:
- Email notifications now link directly to the relevant view in your Faraday instance.
- Runner (former “Agents”) executors accept much larger tool outputs by default, preventing import failures on large scans.
- Deleting a vulnerability group now correctly removes every vulnerability in the group — and the confirmation modal shows the true total before you commit.
- CVSS vectors (v2.0, v3.1, v4.0) can now be entered manually on vulnerabilities that didn’t start with a CVSS score, without being forced through the calculator.
- A round of UI fixes across imports, Jira attribute mapping, asset navigation, and sorting — full list in the changelog below.
Security Update
Faraday 5.22 includes a security update. We strongly recommend all Faraday users upgrade to the latest version to keep their instances protected.
