Escalation Fix
PingCastle Pro — Unable to Access Website After Upgrade (HTTP 400 Error)
Escalation #439100
PingCastle Pro now applies the same secure cookie authentication configuration as PingCastle Enterprise. Session cookies are marked HttpOnly, use a server-side ticket store, and respect a configurable expiry (defaulting to 2 days) with sliding expiration enabled. This brings authentication session behaviour in Pro into parity with Enterprise and closes a gap in session-security hardening.
GitHub Reported Issues — HotFix Scanner
PingCastle.exe Detected by Windows Defender
GitHub Issue #354
A recent release added a CIM collector option to the HotFix scanners (for MS14-068 and MS17-010) to improve collection speeds. This improvement inadvertently triggered Windows Defender antivirus definitions.
The CIM collection option has been removed. This will be revisited after the 4.0 release to deliver a working CIM collector that does not trigger antivirus definitions.

False Positives for MS17-010
GitHub Issue #333
Certain operating systems were still producing false positives in the HotFix scanner for MS17-010. Two issues have been resolved:
- The fallback mechanism was not being invoked in certain circumstances.
- The KB HotFix lists were incomplete for some operating systems.
