Check out the new features and improvements from Bright:

  • Filtering Document Object Model (DOM) Events for WebDriver by Exclusions: Bright now supports filtering DOM events for WebDriver by exclusions. When setting targets and exclusions for a new scan, the user can specify that DOM elements on the page are skipped by WebDriver. Therefore, it is possible to define buttons that need to be excluded from crawling to ensure that the scan runs without interruptions. For details, see Bright User Guide.
  • The reason for an unsuccessful scan is now displayed in a more intuitive way: Bright now shows the reason for an unsuccessful scan as a notification at the top of the scan details page. The notification informs the user that the scan failed or has been disrupted, the reason, and a suggestion on how to fix the issue.

Known Issues

  • Optimized crawler settings: With this option enabled, the crawler skips the forms and URLs with the same set of parameters, which significantly reduces the crawling time. This setting also allows avoiding scan crashes when there is not enough memory for large sites. For details, see our [docs] (https://docs.brightsec.com/docs/advanced-mode).
  • Font resizing support: Now Bright allows resizing fonts for all screen elements without any loss of content or functionality.
  • Full keyboard navigation support: From now on, users can smoothly navigate through the UI using the keyboard.
