CSRF token handling added to Bulk Processing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
CSRF token handling added to Bulk ProcessingOn click of submit button from the bulk transfer screen, the pzbulkprocess harness was loaded and the portal was automatically logged off. Investigation showed that when CSRF was enabled, loading pzBulkProcess failed with a 403 error that resulted in logging off the current session due to a missing fingerprint token. This has been resolved by adding both CSRF token and fingerprint generation logic to pzBulkProcessingList.

Corrected SAML SSO error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After opening a case from the Pega-FCM portal or after logging in from SSO, closing the Pega window and opening it again resulted in the error "Unable to process the SAML WebSSO request : Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint %27pr_data_saml_requestor_PK%27. Cannot insert duplicate key in object". This was a missed use case that happens only under the old SAML configuration, and has been resolved by removing a when condition that checks for stepstatus fail for the pySAMLwebSSOAuthentication activity.

CSRF and Browser fingerprint tokens added for testing custom scripts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, the test window appeared blank when attempting to test Decision Table rules. This was traced to there not being CSRF token and Browser fingerprint handling in the custom script used to show a prompt screen to the user. Because the CSRF token validation was missing, the request failed. To resolve this, CSRF and Browser fingerprint tokens have been added as hidden fields.

Revoke Access Token check removed from OAuth Client Registration
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When client credentials were implemented, the OAuth 2.0 Client Registration form was designed such that once the instance was created and a token issued, the access tokens were deleted on save. Process changes now indicate that it should be possible to save the form because it may only have History Description/Usage changes made to it and Revoke Token and Regenerate Secret buttons are already available. To address this, the Revoke Access Token check has been removed from the validate activity of Client Registration.

Resolved 403 error for refresh of incognito window with CSRF
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Opening the simpleurl in a fresh incognito window opened the work object in a standard thread, but on refresh of the window a 403 error appeared and the screen went blank. This was a missed use case for the recently-added CSRF validation for non-ajax get requests which are redirected post requests. The CSRF token was being validated if pzPostData was in the request, but once the original request was complete the request map was cleared and the pzCtkn value in the request map was empty, resulting in the 403 error. To resolve this, the system will skip CSRF validation for a refresh scenario where the post data request map is empty after the original request, and validation has been added for the blank pyActivity in the request.

PRTraceServlet security check added

Modifying the Pega application URL with PRTraceServlet displayed multiple user credentials and session information. This has been corrected with the addition of a privilege check in GetConnectionListCommand before allowing the connections list to be fetched.

Handling added for terminate session exception caused by null operatorID
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After the REST service called ((PegaAPI)tools).triggerRequestorTerminationPulseEvent(action,OperatorsList,message), which was being used for maintenance by handling the REST request for terminating user sessions before the system was brought down, all login attempts were resulting in a null pointer exception and the system had to be restarted to recover. This was a corner issue caused when a NULL operator was provided as input, and has been resolved by adding handling for that case.

Updated handling for MT query of pr_data_admin table
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When using a multi-tenant environment with Oracle, as the number of users in the environment increased, the number of queries of the pr_data_admin table "WHERE pyEnableAuthService" increased exponentially and causes system slowness. This was traced to missed handling for the @ character in the authentication service cache while requesting, and has been resolved by updating authservicecache.java.
