Property check handling updated for Ajax requestor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
SECU0001 alerts were seen when submitting a case in the interaction portal. Logging indicated the errors were related to the 'pxRequestor.pyLatitude' and 'pxRequestor.pyLongitude' properties which are included in an Ajax request when they exist in the DOM and the 'pyGeolocationTrackingIsEnabled' when rule is true. The error was traced to a condition where a new thread request results in an unexpected property check that encounters a clipboard which doesn't have any pages created for that thread. To resolve this, the 'pxRequestor.pyLatitude' and 'pxRequestor.pyLongitude' properties have been added to an allow list to handle the unexpected properties check.

Improvements for Report Definition OperatorID filtering
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Report Definition filters were not working as expected when data from the OperatorID page was used and authentication was enabled. This was traced to the OperatorID page not being correctly populated. To resolve this, the authentication logic has been modified to always create the OperatorID page at requestor level, and the HTTP API layer has been updated to remove the thread level OperatorID page if exists. In addition, an enhancement has been added for improved debugging on log appenders provided by log4j which allows log filtering based on the requestor and thread for a given appender at a specific log level.

System will attempt to decrypt data ending in "+"
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Encrypting and decrypting one specific email address was not working properly when showing on the UI. It was possible to force a decryption using decryptproperty, but Pega generated an error. This was due to the actual encrypted value ending with '+', which conflicted with a system check that skips decryption if the encrypted property value ends with + . To resolve this, the system will attempt to decrypt the property even when encryptedText ends with + .

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.
