Release 1.19

January 30, 2025

What's New?

With this release, we introduce the following new features and enhancements to the Web Application Scanning user interface.

Enhanced Navigation in Edit Web Application Workflow

Earlier, while editing a web application, you had to go through each step, even while changing only one setting.

With the enhanced navigation, you can switch to any step in the Edit Web Application workflow using the left pane to update the required settings and the web application without going through the entire workflow. This helps reduce the time needed to edit a web application.

Enhanced User Interface (UI 4.0) of the Qualys Cloud Platform

Introducing the new and improved UI with the following key upgrades:

Issues Addressed

The following important and notable issues are fixed in this release.

Category/Component	Issue Description
Scans	We fixed an issue where the defined DNS override option is not considered in scanning, and the scan report does not display DNS override settings. This was observed when the user launched a scan from the Web Applications tab by selecting multiple web applications, where the DNS Override is set to Use DNS override per application if proxy is not used. The issue is fixed.
Malware monitoring	It was observed that when malware monitoring is enabled, the timezone for malware monitoring is not set to the user's default timezone. The issue is fixed.
Web application creation	We fixed an issue where the user could not create a web application with the character ü in the Web Application URL or Swagger File URL field.
Scan details	We fixed an issue where, in the View Scan Details window > Scan Options tab, the Form Submission field displays a value different from the value set in the option profile.
QID modification	In a scenario where the user modified a QID in the Knowledge Base, the modification in QID did not reflect in the detections in the newer scans.
Scheduled scan	We fixed an issue where the scheduled scan instance did not display scanner details when the user opened or edited the scheduled scan instance.
Scorecard report	A discrepancy was observed in the data displayed in the online scorecard report and downloaded CSV report. The issue is fixed.
Global exclusions	We fixed an issue where the user encountered an internal error while editing exclusions from the Global Settings.
Detection Details	We fixed a typo in the Detection Details > Info section.
