Additional Information

This is displayed in error box (only the name of profile changes)

The profile you are trying to load (/root/.w3af/profiles/OWASP_TOP10.pw3af) seems to be outdated, this is a common issue which happens when the framework is updated and one of its plugins adds/removes one of the configuration parameters referenced by a profile, or the plugin is removed all together.

The profile was loaded but some of your settings might have been lost. This is the list of issues that were found:

- The profile references the "grep.ajax" plugin which is unknown in the current framework version.

We recommend you review the specific plugin configurations, apply the required changes and save the profile in order to update it and avoid this message. If this warning does not disappear you can manually edit the profile file to fix it.
