PureSync - Detected Version Incorrect

OLLI_S · 9 Jan 2025, 13:29

For PureSync VulnDetect detects version 7.2.0 Build 6930.
The installed version is 7.3.0 Build 7062, see Help -> About:

The reason, why VulnDetect detects version 7.2.0 Build 6930 is, that the version number in the EXE file is showing exactly this version:

File name and path:     C:\Program Files (x86)\Jumping Bytes\PureSync\PureSync.exe
Product Name:           PureSync
Internal Name:          PureSync
Original Filename:      PureSync.exe

File Description:       PureSync, a file and folder synchronization and backup tool,  by Jumping Bytes

File Version String:    7.02.6930
File Version:           7.2.0.6930
Product Version String: 7.02.6930
Product Version:        7.2.0.6930

I already reported this to the programmer of PureSync.
Is there any way, that VulnDetect detects the correct version?

@amu @Tom
PureSync released version 8.0.
The Version Number in the About-Dialog is:
Version 8.0.0 Build 7489

VulnDetect detects version 8.0.0 Build 7491.
Here the Build-Number is wrong.

Reason:
VulnDetect analyzes the PureSync.dll file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Jumping Bytes\PureSync\PureSync.dll

I was in contact with the auther of PureSync and suggested, that he stores the proper version info in the EXE file.
Here the data from the EXE:

File name and path:     C:\Program Files (x86)\Jumping Bytes\PureSync\PureSync.exe
Product Name:           PureSync
Internal Name:          PureSync
Original Filename:      PureSync.exe

@amu PureSync was updated to Version 8.0.2 Build 7496:

VulnDetect shows the installed version 8.00.7499 and recommends 8.0.0 Build 7143:

Here the information extracted from PureSync.exe:

File name and path:     C:\Program Files (x86)\Jumping Bytes\PureSync\PureSync.exe
Product Name:           PureSync
Internal Name:          PureSync

Product Version String: 8.00.7496
Product Version:        8.0.0.7496

Here the information extracted from PureSync.dll:

File name and path:     C:\Program Files (x86)\Jumping Bytes\PureSync\PureSync.dll
Product Name:           PureSync
Internal Name:          PureSync

Product Version:        8.0.0.7499

Unfortunately, the correct version number is neither shown in the PureSync.exe, nor in the PureSync.dll.
In the PureSync.exe you have at least the correct Build Number 7496.
So you have to add here - again - a special rule, that shows 8.0.2 Build 7496 when the version in the PureSync.exe is 8.00.7496.

I will also tell this - again - to the programmer of PureSync, where I am in personal contact with.
