Deprecated features in Version 9.0.3.13
| Feature | Comments |
|---|---|
|
Due to the efficiency of Action-Based JavaScript Execution, these two redundant Request-Based JavaScript configuration options (and related Advanced Configuration Options) have been removed: Execute JavaScript to discover URLs and dynamic content. Execute JavaScript when replaying login. |
These options are removed both in ADAC and web UI for both DAST and Content Scan jobs. If you load a scan saved in an earlier version, in which one or both of these check boxes was selected, the selection is now ignored. |
| Due to the improvements to the Cross-Site Scripting Analyzer, that enable it to better detect DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting, when creating new scans all JavaScript Analyzer (JSA) rules are now disabled in the Default Test Policy, and will be removed altogether in a future version. Your existing scans and templates are not affected by this change. | No longer fits the product direction. |
Deprecated features in Version 9.0.3.12
| Feature | Comments |
|---|---|
|
Request-Based JSX is being phased out by stages: In this fix pack, the JavaScript Execution check box is cleared by default, but you can still select it if you find that Action-Based Exploring fails for a specific application. In future releases, the mechanism will be removed entirely. Note that when you load a saved scan or template in which the JSX check box was selected it will remain selected. However, we suggest clearing the check box. |
The new mechanism, Action-Based Exploring, utilizes an actual, embedded (Chromium-based) browser. Both mechanisms include JavaScript Execution (JSX), but we are now in the process of retiring the Request-Based JSX mechanism, as the newer technology duplicates and surpasses it. Action-Based JSX more closely resembles the way a user interacts with the browser. It offers increased coverage and accuracy, and better support for new JavaScript frameworks as they emerge. |
