We’re pleased to announce a new version of ImunifyAV(+). Version 6.6 is now available. The following features are new in the v6.6 release. Discover more features in the Imunify360.

• Hardened AI-Bolit security
  We’re constantly working to ensure the highest possible security level, therefore in this release we’re improving AI-Bolit security to further minimize the risks and impact of potential undiscovered vulnerability exploitation.
  
  
• Robust integration with WHM Contact Manager
  Through the tailored integration with WHM Contact Management, we’re expanding our ability to notify you about potentially insecure configuration settings and malware.

Hardened AI-Bolit security

The internal parameters for AI-Bolit were revised and new measures aimed at containment of a potential attack were introduced, allowing for tighter control of the AI-Bolit scan process and preventing the privilege escalation event from being possible.

AI-Bolit now is running in a more restricted environment, and a lot of exploitable functions that otherwise could be used by malicious actors (like ‘system’, ‘shell_exec’ and many others) are disabled by default. This means that if a zero-day vulnerability is discovered, the potential risk of vulnerability exploitation, as well as the impact, will be minimized. This applies to both normal scans and real-time scans.

Robust integration with WHM Contact Manager 

In version 6.6, we redesigned and boosted our notifications service. Now it’s more flexible and allows us to promptly deliver security-related information to you. First of all, we will notify you about vulnerable and outdated software on the server, creating a security issue that ImunifyAV detects and reveals, but only Imunify360 can protect from automatically. Therefore, it’s crucial to be aware of this security issue to take appropriate measures. 

With this notification service, we have a reliable mechanism in place to notify you about other known security issues that will need to be addressed. 

We realize it’s hard to keep everything up-to-date at all times. That's why we implemented smart logic for this upgrade change to work by, in order to avoid bothering customers who might run the latest minor version of WordPress without critical vulnerabilities instead of the major version.

You can find information on how to manage these notifications here.
