If you click the certificate link, the certificate details page contains all the details related to the certificate, such as its validity, issued to, issued by, fingerprints, hosts, certificate path, and so on. You can also search through the list of certificates using QQL tokens in the Certificate View. For the token help, refer to Certificate View Online Help.

Purge Detections

With this release, you can remove the selected detections without losing the scan history. This is useful in scenarios where redundant links are added and you want to remove duplicate findings against URLs with redundant links.

The Purge option is available in the Quick Actions and Actions menu for purging single and multiple detections.

Issues Addressed

The following reported and notable customer issues have been fixed in this release.

Category/Component	Issue Description
Scan Schedule Start Date	We have fixed an issue where the Start Date is displayed in a format different than the date format in the user profile settings. This was observed while scheduling a scan.
Web Application Creation	An issue was observed while creating a web application having a long URL with a slash (/), and the crawl scope was set to Limit to URL hostname and specified sub-domain; when the user tried to add a subdomain value, the application stopped responding. The issue is resolved now.
Scanner Appliance	An issue was observed where, in the scheduled multi-scans, some web applications were scanned with external scanners even though the user had selected the tag for the internal scanner pool in the Scanner Appliance. This resulted in scan failure. This issue is resolved, and all the web applications are mapped to the scanner pool.
Web Application Import	We have fixed an issue the user faced while importing a web application using a .txt file.
Crawl Settings	We have fixed an issue where the domain description message displayed multiple domain names. Now, the description message contains only the first domain name.
Reports	An issue was observed where a sub user could not generate a web application report and scan report. This issue was observed when create, edit, and delete report permissions were assigned to the sub-user; however, the user was not assigned read report permission. The issue is resolved now. Now, the sub-user with create, edit, and delete report permissions can create a web application and scan reports even when the read report permission is not assigned.
Scan Report Download	When downloading the scan reports, an issue was observed: The scan report generation encountered an error due to corrupted data. The issue is resolved now.
Web Applications, EASM-related tag	We have fixed an issue where the user encountered an issue while editing web applications with the EASM Confidence Medium or EASM Confidence High tags assigned. The issue is resolved now.
Crawl Scope, Web Application Creation	Earlier, while creating a web application, the user could not enter URLs to the Explicit URLs to Crawl field when the Crawl Scope was set to Limit to Content Located at or below URL subdirectory. The issue is resolved, and the user can add an explicit URL using a subdomain while creating a web application.
Detection Status	An issue was observed where the status of the finding did not change to Fixed even though the setting to close the finding when the URL could not be found was done. The issue is resolved now.
Dashboard Widgets	The user encountered issues while editing the TruRisk-related widgets in the dashboard created in the Web Application Scanning version earlier to 1.15. For example, if the user added a detection query, no data was displayed upon saving the query. If the users deleted the detection query and tried to add the application query, the Detection Query field was added. These issues are resolved now, and the user can edit the dashboard widgets related to the TruRisk™ score.
