Yes, that's a known issue that we've had for a while. I'm not sure if
it's in the issue tracker though. Please report it if you don't find
it.

I'm not a DVWA user, so I really don't know what's going on there.

That should never happen I think :D We should check that, but it's
very low priority
If you can send me a way to reproduce that without depending on a DVWA
setup, that would be awesome

Well, then it's not a w3af issue, it's a DVWA issue where you're
enabling/disabling sections and vulnerabilities of the site which
don't work because of specific permissions are required.

Same as above, if you give me a way to reproduce without installing
DVWA (just a PHP file) I'll work on it.

Could you please elaborate more on that?

This is not a w3af bug. The php script triggered a 500 exception and
we're letting you know about that

See comment in issue tracker

Fixed, thanks!

You should read the HTTP traffic output
