Note — This post applies to an older version of Acunetix
We’ve just released an update for Acunetix Web Vulnerability 8 – build 20121113 – which gives you a brand new PHP code execution test for Invision Power Board, as well as a number of improvements and fixes.
New Security Checks
- New PHP code execution test for Invision Power Board
Improvements
- We’ve improved the Acunetix SDK by introducing a new UI for selecting script targets
- All web security scripts now send the Referrer header during tests, which means that websites that check referrers can now be scanned properly.
- The XSS security scrip has been further improved.
Bug Fixes
- We’ve added a cache-control HTTP header to crawler requests.
- Several issues in the crawler have been fixed so you can now crawl larger websites
