Enhancements
Hooks
- Starting from v4.2, Imunify360 supports ‘hooks’. This is a script-based interface for various application events, such as “malware-detected”, “malware-scanning”, “agent”, etc. This is a simple and effective way to automate Imunify360 alerts and event processing. For example, an administrator can have Imunify360 call a script when malicious files are detected or misconfigurations are detected.

Malware Scanner
- We have added new settings to limit the resource impact of malware scanning.


- We have introduced a new setting,
disable_user_ignore_list
, that lets you hide the Ignore List tab for end users.
- The scanning engine has been enhanced with a new de-obfuscator and decryptor for encoded files.
Dashboard
- Statistics (number of incidents) are now correct in titles.

- Notifications about server security and Imunify360 configuration are shown, along with recommendations for making server security effective and proactive.


Reputation Management
- The list of vendors was expanded and the verdict list enhanced.

Proactive Defense
- Performance is improved, and the scanning of malicious PHP has been optimized by using precompiled signatures.
- Event recording in the Blamer is improved, and new/de-duped events are not recorded.
WebShield
- SSL processing is faster.
Firewall
- We added a new option, “Manage CSF Events and Lists“, to enable/disable the integration between CSF and Imunify360.

Settings
- The support menu item can be hidden via settings (to be used by resellers of Imunify360, for example).
UI
- Added OSSEC “Active Response” setting.

- Enhanced Imunify360 installation process, added slides with feature descriptions while the extension is deploying.
- Newsfeed imports all recent news from the blog.
- Updated translation of the UI.
- “Lists” item renamed to “Firewall” in the menu.

Bug Fixes
- Proactive Defence: Move
extension=i360.so
from zzzzzzz-pecl.ini
back to alt-phpXX php.ini
(bug)
- Proactive Defence: freezes PHP if Imunify360 config file is broken (bug).
- Fixed rare cases where the agent hangs on startup when integrated with CSF.
- Malware Scanner: We now cancel background scanning once settings are updated.
- UI fixes: Fixed the “Restore” link in the quarantine popup, and fixed the charts description in the Dashboard.
