2021.10.9

Release date: 12 December 2022

Added 12 January 2023: Minimum Elasticsearch and Kibana version changed

Starting with this release, the minimum version required for Elasticsearch and Kibana is 7.16.3.

Additionally, Elasticsearch 7.16.3 must be installed via .zip package, as Windows MSI installer packages of this product are no longer released after 7.16.2.

Known issue: Elasticsearch versions earlier that 7.16.3 prevent logging and return an UnsupportedProductException. This issue will be fixed in the upcoming cumulative update, enabling you to also use earlier Elasticsearch versions.

Bug Fixes

Security Vulnerability Fixes

• We have fixed an issue that caused the password used for connecting to a storage bucket provider to be stored in the database. This occurred when you created or edited a storage bucket. The password could be retrieved by an SQL administrator with read access to the database, or by anyone with View permission on Audit via API.
• We have fixed an issue that caused credential store passwords to be stored in the database. The passwords could be retrieved by an SQL administrator with read access to the database, or by anyone with View permission on Audit via API.
• We have fixed an issue that caused license codes to be visible in the response returned by calls that retrieved all audit data.
• We have fixed an issue that caused external feed passwords to be stored in the database. This occurred when you created an external feed for maintaining automation packages.

Use this script to clean up any passwords displayed in the existing logs. The script can be run before upgrading to this version.

Miscellaneous Fixes

• We have improved the security of our system by restricting unnecessary internal information from being exposed in certain error responses.
• Storage bucket files were incorrectly deleted due to an issue related to folder deletion. Specifically, when you unlinked a storage bucket from a folder, then you deleted that folder, the files included in the unlinked storage bucket were also deleted. The same occurred when you deleted the folder without first unlinking the storage bucket. This happened despite the storage bucket still being linked to other folders.

Deprecation Timeline

We recommend that you regularly check the deprecation timeline for any updates regarding features that will be deprecated and removed.
