Cross-site scripting protection added for parameter page properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
An cross-site scripting vulnerability was seen with the Edge browser when run on visibility on client check was enabled with dynamic layouts and some properties were accessed from parameter page. Because run on visibility on client check is not required in this scenario, is has been removed and the values will be accessed from the server instead.

Added safeURL encoding for Japanese characters in attached filenames
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
It was not possible to preview a Japanese-titled PDF file attached on a work object. Investigation showed that in case of Japanese characters, file names were not being correctly encoded during the fetch request when JBoss was used. The retrieval worked correctly under Tomcat. In order to ensure consistent encoding, the safeURL API will be used for constructing the URL and for the activities DisplayAttachFile and pzDownloadFromRepository which add the ContentDisposition header.

Check added to disable offset support for older versions of Oracle
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
An ORA-00933 error was generated after upgrading from Pega 7.1 to Pega 8.5. This was traced to a conflict between Oracle 11g and the Pega 8.5 platform related to an OFFSET statement being added to a query for a version of Oracle that doesn't support it. The preferred solution is to upgrade Oracle to address this, but in order to support backwards compatibility a check has been added which will disable offset support in Oracle if productversion <=11.

Handling added for missing expose.accessGroup property
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
After exposing an existing page group and page list properties along with single value properties using a declare index, running the Column Populator tool prpcServiceUtils to populate the historical data resulted in the single value properties being updated in the exposed column properly, but the page group and page list properties were not updated in the declare index table. On new case creation the declare index tables were updated. This was traced to the default expose.accessGroup not being set for the user, and has been resolved by adding a check and handling that will add the missing property in prpcserviceutils.properties defining the access group for the Rule-Declare-Index of the classes being exposed if it is not present.

Global obfuscation key initialized on first requestor call
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
When using URLEncryption = true and SubmitObfuscatedURL = optional, attempting to export an Excel spreadsheet resulted in the error "Invalid character found in the request target". This was traced to the variable pega.d.globalobfuscateKey having a null value which was then converted to a byte array and decoded, generating improper characters in the URL. After a browser refresh, the correct value was set in pega.d.globalobfuscateKey and the export worked as expected. To resolve this, an update has been made to initialize the key on the very first call in PRRequestorImpl when the global obfuscation key is determined to be NULL instead of initializing the global obfuscation key by on-demand basis from HTTPAPI.

Signature map updated for fetching keys
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
MFA login worked with SAML 2.0 when the certificate was disabled but failed when the certificate was enabled in Auth Service. The error " "Signature algorithm is null" appeared. This has been resolved by updating the signature map to ignore case sensitivity while fetching keys.

SAML datapages cleared before new authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
If a previous user had not logged out or timed out when using SAML authentication, a second person using the same device/browser would end up in the first user's session after performing their own authentication. Investigation showed the second login D_SAMLAssertionDataPage was not getting refreshed with the current user login details; this has been resolved by explicitly deleting the SAML Datapages before processing a new login if the session has not timed out.

Removed duplicate clipboard page creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
An out of memory exception occurred due to the pyInstanceInfoForUpdate clipboard page having 6.5M Embed-InstanceInfo entries. This was traced to the ClientUpdateRequestHandler.getInstanceInfoPage method continuously appending to the ClipboardProperty instanceInfoPage. This has been resolved by removing the extra creation of instance pages within the loop.
