Acunetix build 13.0.200624118 for Windows and Linux has been released.

The new Acunetix build introduces support for GraphQL and OAuth 2.0, allowing Acunetix to scan web applications that make use of these web technologies. It also includes multiple UI updates, a new comprehensive and interactive report, and HTTP response highlighting for better readability. In addition, there are a good number of new vulnerability checks, numerous updates, and fixes, all of which are available for all editions of Acunetix.

New Features

  • Introduced support for GraphQL
  • Introduced support for OAuth 2.0
  • GraphQL files can be used as import files
  • New Comprehensive report, which includes the HTTP response in the HTML version of the report
  • HTTP response uses syntax highlighting for improved readability
  • Scans can now be restricted to paths/locations in import files
  • User can choose columns to show in all the Acunetix lists
  • UI saves columns selected for each page/user (applies to targets, vulnerabilities, scans, and reports)
  • UI saves number of items to show for each page/user (applies to targets, vulnerabilities, scans, and reports)
