Resolved 403 error for refresh of incognito window with CSRF
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
Opening the simpleurl in a fresh incognito window opened the work object in a standard thread, but on refresh of the window a 403 error appeared and the screen went blank. This was a missed use case for the recently-added CSRF validation for non-ajax get requests which are redirected post requests. The CSRF token was being validated if pzPostData was in the request, but once the original request was complete the request map was cleared and the pzCtkn value in the request map was empty, resulting in the 403 error. To resolve this, the system will skip CSRF validation for a refresh scenario where the post data request map is empty after the original request, and validation has been added for the blank pyActivity in the request.

PRTraceServlet security check added

Handling added for terminate session exception caused by null operatorID
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After the REST service called ((PegaAPI)tools).triggerRequestorTerminationPulseEvent(action,OperatorsList,message), which was being used for maintenance by handling the REST request for terminating user sessions before the system was brought down, all login attempts were resulting in a null pointer exception and the system had to be restarted to recover. This was a corner issue caused when a NULL operator was provided as input, and has been resolved by adding handling for that case.

Updated handling for MT query of pr_data_admin table
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When using a multi-tenant environment with Oracle, as the number of users in the environment increased, the number of queries of the pr_data_admin table "WHERE pyEnableAuthService" increased exponentially and causes system slowness. This was traced to missed handling for the @ character in the authentication service cache while requesting, and has been resolved by updating authservicecache.java.

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.
