Notes for Acunetix 360 On-Premises Upgrade: .NET 6 to .NET 8
Impact
With the 24.12.0 release, Acunetix 360 upgraded from .NET 6 to .NET 8. This upgrade may affect customers using agents on certain Linux distributions due to changes in operating system dependencies.
As a result, agents might not function correctly on unsupported versions of Linux after the upgrade.
Why Is This Happening?
Microsoft has deprecated .NET 6, and upgrading to .NET 8 is mandatory for Acunetix 360 to maintain compatibility and support.
Solution (Customer Action Required)
Customers must verify the Linux version on which they are running Acunetix 360 Agents:
- If using Ubuntu 24.04 or higher: No action is required.
- If using RHEL 8 or higher: No action is required.
- If using an older version (Ubuntu <24.04 or RHEL <8):
- Option 1: Upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 or RHEL 8 (or higher).
- Option 2: Disable auto-upgrade until the system is updated to a supported version.
Note
We will automatically disable auto-upgrade for affected agents. Customers should not re-enable auto-upgrade until they have upgraded to a supported version of Linux.
Notes for Verifying the Hash Value for Package Integrity in Acunetix 360 On-Premises
The hash value for the “24.12.0.zip” file is provided below. You can verify the integrity of the file by checking its hash value using one of the methods outlined above:
Hash Value: 9957D4DA135F6DA98D61ABAA947C49D88E72A6C753740094F206AAD74A4C3042
Methods to Verify the Hash Value:
PowerShell (Windows):
Get-FileHash -Path "24.12.0.zip" -Algorithm SHA256
Command Prompt (Windows):
certutil -hashfile "24.12.0.zip" SHA256
Linux or macOS:
sha256sum "24.12.0.zip"
You can use any of the above methods to verify the hash value and ensure the integrity of the “24.12.0.zip” file.
