Improved Agile Studio passivation recovery
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When an Agile Studio session was passivated, the error "SECU0008 : CSRF Detected and Blocked" was seen. Reactivating the session resulted in a blank page. This was traced to the clearing of requestor level registrations added for that particular thread, and has been resolved by adding a new flag to identify if a thread is passivated along with the necessary structure for the conditionalized clearing of requestor level registrations based on this flag.

Check added for allowed editing with CSRF
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
After enabling CSRF, it was not possible to edit a data table used to define ACL rules due to security preventing the adding/editing of rows and user group entitlements. This has been resolved by using browser FingerPrint validation to check whether an activity is in a secured list and skipping validation for allowed activities.

Collaboration control hidden if data type is delegated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When collaborating using a customized CaseManager portal with some delegated data types, the admin user refreshing the Data Type view changed the collaborator's view from the portal to show the Data Type tabs, allowing the second person to open rules (properties, Data Pages, etc) and see the configuration even though they could not make any changes. This has been resolved by updating pzDataTypeDelegated to display the collaboration control only if pzDelegation is false.

Filtering added for DisableDormantOperators
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When running the Disable Dormant Operators agent, many operators were seen which were dormant but not disabled. Investigation showed the activity was fetching all of the operators without filtering the deactivation state. This has been resolved by adding a filter condition in pzDisableDormantOperators to fetch only deactivate state users.

Keystore update properly revises the cache
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
A keystore updated with the latest certificate was not getting reflected in the runtime and the old certificate was getting picked. In a multi-node environment when the new JKS is uploaded in one node, the changes are expected to be communicated to other nodes so that the cache can be cleaned up. In this case, investigation showed that the keystore label was in uppercase and the cache entry was not correctly removed. This has been resolved by adding an update that will convert the cache key to lowercase and maintain uniformity to ensure proper cleanup.

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.
