Third-party library updates

This release comes with the following third-party library updates to fix some security and compatibility issues:

  • Bouncy Castle updated to 1.68 (BUILD-519).
  • Commons Compress updated to 1.21 (BUILD-486).
  • FreeMarker updated to 2.3.31 (BUILD-541).

We keep the details of security fixes private in line with our security policy. Contact our Support team if you need more information.

Notable bug fixes

Path-based locking no longer adds a leading slash. Previously, this would cause publication to fail on Windows where JDK would interpret the path as a server host and throw an error about a missing sharename.

EEPUBLISH-37, PUBLISHING-122

Security advisory

We have fixed a security vulnerability in JDOM to prevent potential XXE attacks. As a result, the Publishing module now contains some API-breaking changes.

We keep the details of that fix private in line with our security policy. Contact our Support team if you need more information.
