SR-D69098 · Issue 534041

Export to Excel works for for report definition with duplicate columns

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2

After adding a date column to a report definition (2nd column in the report), the data displayed correctly in the UI but Export to Excel failed with the error "Section 'pzRDExportWrapper' execution error on page '' of class 'Rule-Obj-Report-Definition'. : The Reference .pyDateValue(2) is not valid." This was traced to an out of bounds exception thrown if there were two or more columns with the same calculation. When preparing for export, the column with the duplicate calculation would not get added to the map of report UI fields. To resolve this, the system has been updated to allow report definition columns with the same calculation to be properly mapped to a UI field.

Handling added for drag-and-drop with deleted report templates

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2

After adding a new report, an error appeared when trying to use drag-and-drop to add a column (Page List) from the Data Explorer in the report browser. This was traced to refactor work done to use the Record API throughout reporting: the ruleset on new reports was not being reset from a Pega- ruleset to an application ruleset, causing columns the referenced properties defined outside the platform to be rejected. This use case was missed because case types define their own report templates on creation, but in this scenario those had been deleted. To resolve this, the system has been updated to call pxChooseBestRuleset from pxShowReport in order to enable the use of properties defined in the application prior to saving the report.

Filtered By Label read by JAWS in report browser

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2

When using Firefox, any FilteredBy text in the Report Browser was not being read by JAWS. This was traced to Firefox interpreting the filters in the Report Viewer as not having any distinguishing accessibility label, and has been resolved by adding aria roles to the filters in the Report Viewer.

DIrty check flag triggered by adding columns and filters

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2

If a report was edited and closed without saving, the dirty check worked as expected. However, if new columns or filters were added and the report closed without saving, the dirty check did not appear. This has been resolved by updating the check logic.

SR-D73777 · Issue 539968

Logic added for client-side Somaria decoding

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2

When Somaria (an Advanced Data Visualization control) was used with Predictor Performance, the special characters were displayed as ASCII values instead of the actual values in the label. This was traced to Somaria encoding special characters of the visualization data into HTML entities on the server in order to protect against cross-site scripting attacks, but these entities were not being decoded on the client side. To resolve this, logic has been added to decode HTML entities in Somaria data on the client.

DSS added to allow disabling Excel cell export security

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2

In order to avoid calculation injection during Export to Excel, an apostrophe character was added to the cell on export to close a vulnerability. However, sites using an external tool to consume the Excel document needed a workaround for this security feature. The resolution for this issue adds a DSS setting "TurnOffSecurityForExportToExcel" which can now be used to turn on/off the security feature that adds char " ' " in front of the cell value. Further refinements to this work will be included in a future release.

SR-D75757 · Issue 540638

ReportBrowser script updated to ensure older version refreshes on creation

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2

When using the old version of the Report Browser, the count at the report category did not update after being saved into a category until logout and login back to the portal. This was a missed use case for the old browser during updates to the UIKit and has been resolved by including the reportbrowser script in the header section pyCMReportBrowserHeader to ensure a refresh.

SR-D31734 · Issue 515655

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.

SR-D33214 · Issue 514022

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.

SR-D67321 · Issue 532627

ShowXML activity deprecated

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2

The activity @baseclass.ShowXML has been blocked for security reasons. If the functionality is needed, a a single line step of "Show-Applet-Data" may be used.
