Property check handling updated for Ajax requestor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
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.

System will attempt to decrypt data ending in "+"
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Encrypting and decrypting one specific email address was not working properly when showing on the UI. It was possible to force a decryption using decryptproperty, but Pega generated an error. This was due to the actual encrypted value ending with '+', which conflicted with a system check that skips decryption if the encrypted property value ends with + . To resolve this, the system will attempt to decrypt the property even when encryptedText ends with + .

UPDATE IMPACT FOR PEGA CALL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
Log4j-1.2.14.jar and Log4j-1.2.17.jar have been removed to address the security concerns with these versions, and logger jars have been upgraded to 12.7.2 version (from 12.7.1 version) to make Pega Call compatible. This change will impact Pega Call customer environments due to Avaya or Genesys, which are part of Pega Call, having an internal dependency on Log4j1.x version jars. As a result, the SDK logging for Avaya or Genesys will not be available in the 8.7.3 release unless the Log4j-1.x jar files are reimported locally.
