August 18 recap: broader security monitoring, social sharing fixed

A day of continuity and conclusion: the security monitoring opened yesterday now extends to all types of sites, and social sharing, a project announced two days ago, finally shows the right image. Website verification now covers Drupal, Joomla, PrestaShop and Magento, not just WordPress, and relies on official catalogs of known vulnerabilities, updated daily: thousands of flaws are already covered. All 241 companies whose site has a critical flaw have an accessible report page, and each new discovery creates its own without exception. On the sharing side, each comparison page has its dedicated image, and the preview format has been fixed so that WhatsApp, LinkedIn and messaging apps finally display them: when you paste a link in a conversation, you see the right image, the one from the shared page. The BODACC summary for the day is online with its 20,291 notices summarized in 20 languages. Reliability is also improving: 128 old addresses that led to an error page now redirect to the correct page, the company search counter matches the displayed list, which is reassuring when a name is rare, and the security reports page opens instantly, even on first load, regardless of the device used. Behind the scenes, the monitoring never acts on real sites, and message reception is continuously monitored, so that no visitor sign goes unnoticed. This day sums up our approach: every project opened this week advances one step, and each step is visible on a site page, viewable by all. Here is the detail of what changed.

Yesterday, monitoring focused on WordPress sites. Today, it covers all major site types: Drupal, Joomla, PrestaShop, Magento, and the servers that host them. The result is visible in the reports table, where outdated versions are spotted regardless of the technology used.

• Version checking now extends to Drupal, Joomla, PrestaShop and Magento, not just WordPress.1The security reports table
• Outdated WordPress extensions are spotted: the risk is flagged as soon as an old version is identified.1The security reports table
• Monitoring relies on official catalogs of known vulnerabilities, updated daily: thousands of flaws are already covered.2The reports page
• All 241 companies whose site has a critical flaw now each have a report page, and none of them lead to an error page anymore.1The security reports table
• The reports page opens in under two seconds, even on the very first load.1The security reports table

Two days ago, sharing images arrived on news and guides: the preview that appears when you paste a link in a conversation. One flaw remained, some applications displayed nothing. That is fixed.

• Each comparison page now has its own sharing image, with the name of the compared competitor.3The comparison with Pappers
• Previews now display on all networks and messaging apps: WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X, without exception.4The August 18 recap
• The August 18 recap is online in 20 languages, with its dedicated sharing image.4The August 18 recap

The BODACC.io X account publishes the daily summary every day. Find the August 18 post:

Old site addresses continue to be caught up: any link saved, shared or referenced by a search engine now leads to a page that exists.

• 128 old addresses, from the blog to documentation pages, now redirect to the corresponding page instead of showing an error.5The news
• The result counter of the company search matches the displayed list, even when no result exists.6The company search
• Report pages, which could take a minute to open, now respond instantly.1The security reports table

Monitoring works tirelessly, and it never acts on real sites.

• Each time a new official vulnerability is published, the affected sites are checked again.1The security reports table
• Tens of thousands of additional company sites are now covered by security monitoring: they had never been examined.2The reports page
• Site verification continues: more than 25,000 sites were reviewed yesterday, and the scope widens every day.1The security reports table
• Reception of messages sent to the site is monitored: in case of failure, an alert goes out immediately.

Concretely, here is what the day brings to each visitor.

• Share a comparison or a news item: the page image displays on all networks, with the right preview.3The comparison with Pappers
• Check a company profile: if its site has a known risk, you will know it, regardless of the site type.6The company profiles
• Open an old link saved in your bookmarks: it leads to the right page.5The news
• Search for a company: the displayed number of results is the real number.6The company search
• Read the BODACC recap for August 18 in your language, among the 20 available.4The August 18 recap
• Follow every site change in the update log, which updates daily.7The update log

• Monitoring of data leaks from French companies continues, to alert as soon as a company appears in a public leak.
• A public interest map of the French economy is being considered: who controls whom, who buys what.
• BODACC reading guides keep coming, to learn how to read a notice step by step.

Today, monitoring broadened its scope and sharing finally shows the work of each page. What strikes me about this day is the continuity: every project opened this week has taken a step forward, without breaking anything. Reports cover all affected companies, old links all lead somewhere, and when you paste an address in a conversation, you see what we built. Transparency is not just a word for us, it is what is verified page after page, link after link. And tomorrow, monitoring will keep watching.
