Hi,

Are environments that face the Internet (with SAML) also affected? Does that also count as network access?

Regards,
Patrick

Does anyone experience this severe issue after applying the Patch 10 to a May 2024 Patch 7 site?:

"

Error opening any sheet on any app.  Rollback of the installed patch had been forcibly done.

"

Hello @fmarvnnt I suggest posting about this in the appropriate forum (Management and Deployment) to expand your reach of this question as this blog post is primarily here to facilitate discussion around the security vulnerability. I have not yet heard any other reports of this issue.

@patrickbe I've forwarded your question, thank you!

All the best,
Sonja

@patrickbe This counts as network access. 

All the best,
Sonja

Hello, after upgrade to May24 P10, we have extension disappear and impossible to import 

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Hello, @ajourdan1684153368 and @fmarvnnt Please report issues you experience with the installations as support cases, providing as many details as possible such as what versions you are upgrading from (and to), detailed descriptions, and any supporting material such as screen captures and log files.

All the best,
Sonja

I have a similar issue as @ajourdan1684153368 , I'm getting an error when trying to import newer versions of Vizlib and GeoAnalytics extensions.
"Failed to import extensions. Please check the log file." message in QMC, and "ZIP file error" message in System_Repository log.

(edit: after upgrading from May.23 to May.24.patch10)

[ajourdan1684153368]

I opened a ticket. FYI if blocking, we deleted the patches to return to the initial version and that's good. On the Comu it is recommended to delete the patches before installing new ones. I haven't tested it yet.

Uninstalling Patch10 and installing Patch9 seems to resolve the issue with importing the extensions...

FYI

We have the extension issue here too. We were running Feb 2024 P4 and then yesterday Patch14 was applied.

Today we noticed invalid visualization while opening some apps. We tried reinstalling extensions with no success. We can see the extensions in the folder, it's not showing on QMC.

We're reverting until we hear it's fixed.
