Heavy database maintenance

As some of you might have noticed, there is some heavy database maintenance going on in the background. This can results in serious performance impact, especially on anything related to the timeline and events.

Hopefully things are speedier again within a week.

Improved software detection

After last week's improved WordPress detection I was on a roll and improved the Plesk version detection, the detection of remote login services like CheckPoint, Pulse Secure, SonicWALL and some more, and added a drastic improvement in the detection of Microsoft Remote Desktop Web Access. About that last one: Don't leave it exposed to internet! You are asking for trouble ...

Next, it's time to improve the user experience in the GUI. This update already has an option to change all times in the GUI from the default UTC to your local timezone. The option is available under My profile.

Improved WordPress checks

The detection of WordPress version has improved, resulting in much less WordPress mentions without a version.

WordPress itself also publishes a list of versions that are insecure, and this data is now used in the Software overview and Software vulnerabilities reports along with any CVEs found. Vulnerable versions will have a tag "insecure" (color coded red) and outdated versions will have the tag "outdated" (color coded orange).
