Deprecation process and next steps

What has to be done?

Block Download feature for remote repositories in JFrog Xray

We are rolling this out in phases, from April 1, 2026, through November 2026. to ensure every customer has the support they need to migrate.

JFrog Curation makes automated, policy-driven decisions based on metadata before the download ever starts. This results in split-second decisions and clear, immediate feedback that keeps your developers moving.
What is Changing (and What Isn’t): It is important to note that Xray is not going anywhere. It remains a gold standard for scanning (SCA) your software supply chain.

Scanning & Visibility:

  • What Happens to Remote Repos? - No Change. Xray will still perform deep scans for vulnerabilities.
  • What Happens to Local Repos?- No Change.

Block Download:

  • What Happens to Remote Repos? - Moving to Curation. Active blocking at the gate is handled by our specialized perimeter tool.
  • What Happens to Local Repos? - No Change. Xray will continue to block downloads for local repositories.

We want to make this transition as seamless as possible for your team.

  • If you already use Curation: Review your Policies to ensure they mirror your previous Xray block settings.
  • If you are not yet on Curation: Reach out to your JFrog account team or Support immediately. Every day without Curation is a day your pipelines rely solely on scanning rather than proactive prevention.
