Changelog

Changes in 6.6.3

11:30 CET

Bug fixes, redirect rules improvement, security patch

Improvements

  • Improvement to redirect rules: you can now choose to redirect the users that DO NOT have a certain group membership, as opposed to only redirect users with the group membership

  • Fix a wider clickable area for the selects in Just-in-time provisioning

  • Added a switch to show or hide the SAML certificate expired warning flag

  • AUDIT log the identity provider’s name and ID for the logged in user in a successful login event

Bug fixes

  • The redirect mode was missing from the Identity Provider overview page

  • The last logged in attribute on users came as null for certain confluence users on the users API, leading to a match on users that were in fact not inactive.

Security

  • Tag RC4-HMAC encryption as deprecated in Kerberos setup wizard

  • Patch CVE-2022-25927 in transitive dependency to an npm json library. We are still awaiting a released patch for CVE-2022-25927 in the maven package org.json/json, but since we do not use the affected component this is not critical.

Changes in 6.6.2

12:00 CET

Bug fixes, cache improvements and dependency updates

Improvements

  • Disable browser history on client secret input field in setup wizard. This way the browser doesn’t save the values to it can auto-suggest them later.

  • Improve caching in lookup of resources used in every-request filters when Exception groups for Prevent Traditional Login is configured

  • Update in-app setup guide for Google Workspace API Connector (Cloud user sync)

Bug fixes

  • Fix improper pagination support in the group sync membership API which meant that only the group members in the last “page” were persisted. This likely affects all groups with more that 200 members.

  • The certificate expired warning leads to a broken URL.

Security

  • Added Software Bill of Materials for frontend resources. It can be found packaged with the jar bundle, under SBOM, acting as a bill for the packages javascript resources bundled with the app. The maven SBOM can be found in the release notes text in the given release in the Marketplace listing.

  • Patch dependencies. Update maven-dependency-check plugin to 8.0.1.
