SR-A87291 · Issue 255631

JDBC password encryption check logic updated

Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.2

When using a Database instance with a JDBC connection URL, the specified password is encrypted. An issue was occurring where multiple saves of the instance caused the encrypted password to be encrypted again, causing the agent to lose access to the DB due to an authentication failure. The problem was traced to a logic flaw in the method used to check whether the password was already encrypted, and has been fixed.

Apache Struts JARS updated to improve security

Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.2

The Apache Struts JARs have been updated to resolve the following potential security vulnerabilities: The REST plugin in Apache Struts 2 2.3.20 through 2.3.28.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted expression. Apache Struts 2 2.3.20 through 2.3.28.1 mishandles token validation, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks via unspecified vectors. The URLValidator class in Apache Struts 2 2.3.20 through 2.3.28.1 and 2.5.x before 2.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a null value for a URL field.

SQL info stripped from user-view DB2 error codes

Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.2

A security audit showed that entering bogus values for pyActivity in a URL resulted in actual DB@ error codes provided to user in the exception response. In order to prevent any vulnerability, the message shown to the http client will mask SQLCodes.

SQL info stripped from user-view DB2 error codes

Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.2

SR-A87992 · Issue 258338

OperatorID page handling corrected for authentication failures

Resolved in Pega Version 7.2.2

A valid authentication attempt with security policies and password lock-out feature enabled caused the 'OperatorID' to be present in all the threads, but when the user made an invalid attempt first and then a valid attempt, the 'OperatorID' page was visible only in 'STANDARD' thread and empty in other threads. This was an issue with the method used to update the failure count for authentication attempts, and has been corrected.
