LastAccessTime returned for MDB listeners
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
The lastAccess time for the JMS listener was not being updated. Investigation showed that lastAccessTime was correctly updated whenever isStopping() was called, but isStopping() was not called for MDB listeners because the MDB listeners' state is managed by the app server. This caused accessTime to be empty. To resolve this, ListenerStateImpl has been modified to return mRequestTime as the lastAccessTime if the listener is of type MDB.

Cross-site scripting protection added to layout runtime java and whitelist validation available for host/XFHost
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
In order to protect against cross-site scripting issues, filtering has been added to the RepeatDynamicIndex parameter value in layout runtime java. In addition, a validation for X-Forward-Host value has been added which will be read from a local configuration. This is in the form of a white list regex filter for the host/XFHost header to ensure the URL's actions cannot be redirected.

Data page processing performance improvement
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
After upgrade from Pega 7 to Pega 8, data page processing was noticeably slower. Based on analysis of the issue and results of testing, changes have been made to improve the performance of the query used by the expression parser by using an ClipboardPage API to read values from a Page (ClipboardPageAPI#getString(boolean, String)).

Handling added for JSON with top level array
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When using serialize mode in a JSON data transform where the Top element structure was Array and the “For JSON only” relation was selected for relation mode, the result had an incorrect JSON structure. In order to support this configuration, generatePropertyAsJSON has been amended to set isTopLevelPageList to true in instances where automap is off, the top level is an array, and the JSON context is updated within the first step. In addition, generatePageAsJSON has been updated to check this flag when processing mappings in order to ensure these context changes are processed, and updates have been made to generatePropertyAsJSON to ensure that the context is popped when appropriate.

Check added for string vs boolean for pzscan JSON
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When calling the CloudRemoteMaintenance/Work-/pzscan API, the response JSON had boolean values in the form of String which caused the JSON parsing to fail. The system was using ClipboardProperty.toStringValue() while generating outbound JSON from the clipboard page, which did not correctly interpret a boolean value. To resolve this, a check has been added that will assess the value and invoke ClipboardPage.toBoolean() when needed so that the value is converted as per type before generating the JSON.

Improved handling for attachments not using UTF-8 encoding
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When an email was received that used a charset encoding other than UTF-8, special characters in the HTML body were not displayed and instead the replacement character was shown. To resolve this, the system will read the encoding from the email rather than use the meta tag, and will add the attachment's HTML encoding information in Data-WorkAttach-File so that the same can be used to process and display the original HTML properly.

Improved backwards compatibility for imported WSDL and ParseXML rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
After update, a Connect-SOAP integration created using the "Connector and Metadata" wizard in Pega 6 was unable to use newly generated WSDL that contained updated elements due to the wizard not updating the Parse XML rules with the updated properties, and two parse XML rules were created in draft mode when the old WSDL was imported and then followed by the new WSDL. If the "Create SOAP Integration wizard" was used instead, the properties and Parse XML rules were generated as expected but a new class was created due to the system removing special characters such as underscore. For example, the imported Connect-SOAP rules used the "XXX-APC_QUOTESERVICE-" class, but the Create SOAP Integration wizard changed this to "XXX-APCQUOTESERVICE-". Upper and lower case differences were also seen between the old and new XML Stream and Parse XML rule names. As a result, it was not possible to either skip or generate new properties into a higher ruleset version in the Connector and Metadata Accelerator. To resolve this, updates have been made which now properly skip the identical properties when generating on top of the existing run. The system now also handles unqualified schemas as it did in previous versions.
