Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner, particularly in its mature iterations around 2018 (such as the version referenced by the identifier 120180911134), set a significant benchmark in automated security testing. Delivering "extra quality" in this context meant providing comprehensive, accurate, and fast scanning capabilities that could handle modern, complex web applications.
An out-of-band monitoring service that allows the scanner to detect vulnerabilities that do not provide an immediate response to the scanner, such as Blind SSRF or Email Injection 1.1.3 .
Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner (WVS) is a premier automated web application security testing tool. The build version refers to a specific release of the twelfth major iteration of the software, released in September 2018. In the context of "Extra Quality" tags often found in software distribution, this specific build is notable for being a "Gold" or stable release that introduced significant architectural changes to the scanner's core engine while maintaining high detection rates for SQL Injection (SQLi) and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).

Acunetix is an automated web application security testing (DAST) platform. It mimics the actions of a hacker to find vulnerabilities in websites, web applications, and APIs before malicious actors can exploit them. Key Capabilities Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner 12
The "extra quality" in the 120180911134 build stems from several advanced technologies aimed at improving detection accuracy and depth. 1. Proof-Based Scanning and Accuracy
In a 2024 benchmark from Pentest-Tools.com that compared these tools, Acunetix was a top performer, coming in first place on the challenging "Broken Crystals" test application. Similarly, a recent academic study in 2025 concluded that , detecting a higher number of vulnerabilities, including XSS, compared to other well-known scanners.
A fast, template-based vulnerability scanner that is free and regularly updated with the latest CVEs. Acunetix was a top performer
By 2018, traditional static websites had largely given way to single-page applications (SPAs) and API-driven architectures. The Acunetix v12 platform was specifically designed to handle these complexities.
The primary powering your web applications.
