Invicti Standard 06 Apr 2015

BREAKING CHANGES

Invicti 4 requires .NET 4.5.2 to run. You must have Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 or above to install .NET 4.5.2 and use Invicti 4.
Form authentication was redesigned and now it is much easier to configure and all automated. If you had login details configured using the previous wizard you need to reconfigure them.
The file format of profiles has changed from binary to XML. If you have custom profiles you have to recreate them.
The default profiles shipped with Invicti have been removed. Please use the default Scan Policies instead.
URL Rewrite settings have been moved from Scan Policy to profile settings. Therefore if you have Scan Policies with URL Rewrite configuration create a new custom Profile and configure the URL Rewrite settings in your custom profile.

Should you have any queries or encounter any problems do not hesitate to submit a ticket through our Help Center.

XML External Entity (XXE) Engine
File Upload Engine
Detection of insecure JSONP endpoints susceptible to attacks like Rosetta Flash
