New and improved Acunetix security features with build 20121113We’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
