SR-119800 · Issue 177840

Security policy transaction mismatch error resolved

Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8

If security policies are enabled, logging out and then logging in prompts a password change. If the password was changed and then the page was refreshed, a transaction mismatch error occurred. This was caused by incomplete clearing of the password setting transaction, and the system has been updated to properly switch transactions.

Trojan horse protection auto-enabled

Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8

The authentication/trojanhorseprotection previously defaulted to NEVER, creating a security vulnerability. The trojanhorseprotection setting now defaults to external.

Added handling for unauthenticated asynchronous SOAP service

Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8

After implementing changes to work around an error with SOAP authentication, the unauthenticated asynchronous SOAP service generated an error and failed to complete. This was due to the changes to the authentication process omitting the asynchronous mode case when a SOAP service that intended to not use authentication ends up calling a sub-activity that requires authentication. This use case is now covered.

SR-126719 · Issue 177348

Added fallback keyinfo handling

Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8

When a SAML assertion response is received in the authentication activity, an error indicated the KeyInfo was missing in the signature. This was caused by a lack of redundancy in the keyinfo handling that caused an exception when keyinfo was not included in the SAML response. Support has now been added to check the certificate in the truststore where the certificate from IDP metadata would have been imported, and there is an added null check in the debug logs.

Create KeyRing updated for split schema

Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8

If a command line script is configured (viz. keyringGen.sh) to encrypt user passwords for prconfig.xml databases using Keyring utility, a prconfig.xml could have three database entries but the keyring tool only prompted for two databases and did not allow encrypting password for the user for the third database. The prconfig.xml file requires very specific location information to run: to resolve this, the variables to hold schema name in case of split schema configuration have been added.

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.

SR-A91802 · Issue 260001

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.

SR-A87698 · Issue 256038

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.
