| Cortex CLI                                         | <p><strong>Performance enhancement</strong>: The Cortex Cloud Application Security <strong>Code</strong> scanning engine has been upgraded to reduce execution times and improve resource efficiency for both local and CI/CD pipeline scans.</p><p><strong>Cortex CLI Certificate Authority (CA) configuration update</strong>: Cortex CLI now uses a single global setting for your Certificate Authority (CA), providing a centralized and consistent way to define trust. This unified configuration structure will be adopted by all modules in future releases.</p><ul><li><strong>Global Flag and Environment Variable</strong>: You can now define the CA path using the global --ca-cert flag or the <code>CORTEX\_CA\_CERTIFICATE</code> environment variable. As this is a global setting, it must appear before the scan command in the CLI invocation. For example, <code>cortexcli --ca-cert $CORTEX\_CA\_CERTIFICATE code scan \[flags]</code></li><li><strong>Skip certificate verification</strong>: You can now skip SSL certificate validation using the <code>--no-cert-verify</code> flag or the <code>$CORTEX\_NO\_CERT\_VERIFY</code> environment variable. <strong>Warning</strong>: This configuration is insecure and should only be used in development or testing environments where a valid CA certificate is unavailable</li><li><strong>Current limitation</strong>: Although configured globally, this CA setting is currently applied only to Cortex Cloud Application Security commands. Other modules will adopt this global setting in future updates</li><li><p><strong>Breaking change -  Path removal</strong>: The previous configuration path has been removed. CA definitions must now be placed at the <code>root</code> level of your configuration. This new path is required:</p><ul><li>Old (deprecated): <code>code.ca-cert</code></li><li>New: <code>ca-cert</code></li></ul></li><li><strong>Action required</strong>: Update your  commands and any variables used in CI/CD pipeline variables to use the new path. Failure to do so will cause Application Security scans to fail</li></ul> |

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-cloud-runtime-security-rn/cortex-cloud-runtime-security-release-information/features-introduced-in-2025-cloud/november-2025/changed-features.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
