BeyondTrust Discovery Agent 24.3.0.1576 release notes

December 19, 2024

Requirements:

  • There is a product dependency on having the .NET 8 Hosting package installed.
  • OAuth authorization is dependent on having BI version 24.2.0.
  • The new Central Policy message to retrieve all scheduled scans is dependent on BI version 24.3.0 and higher.
  • A reboot of the system may be required.

New features and enhancements:

  • Add new privilege level for users with SUDO access of ALL.
  • Removed ability to migrate from Retina to Phoenix.
  • Added support of the Zypper software package manager for SUSE Linux for software enumeration.
  • Added support for enumerating MSSQL databases on Linux targets.
  • Added support for new Central Policy message to request all scheduled scans from BI, instead of just the updated ones.
  • Added support for configuration of SSH authentication ciphers and methods.
  • Added getting target description for a Windows target from the registry.

Issues resolved:

  • Resolved an error condition where a hung scan could occur in getting the target domain information. Added timeouts around the registry access and added a timeout to the remote command.
  • Modified the code path which resulted in the Job Queue Status node being skipped for the Central Policy EngineInfo XML.
  • Resolved an issue where the scanner wasn't using keyboard-interactive mode for authentication.
  • Resolved an issue where getting the service startup type locally caused a hung scan by adding a timeout around the API call.
  • Added timeouts around additional registry access in DCOM enumeration.
  • Resolved an issue in address resolution parsing when the target machine name contained a #.

Known issues:

  • PowerShell doesn't properly send the command line options for btdiscovery.cmd to the program. This command must be run in a standard windows command shell.
