@Sonja_Bauernfeind can you please confirm whether the November 2024 IR release is affected by the extensions/viz issues?

[David_Friend]

Nov 24 IR is NOT affected

We had this issue arise when applying the patch to February 2024 Patch 4-14.173.8

Adding repository config entry and restarting services on all nodes, the immediate issue seems resolved.

Thank You.

It's look like extension problem affected only patched version. As I see on my enviroments - Febr 2024 and May 2024 has problem with extention, but in the same time there no problem with the same extension in November 2024 IR

Hi! After the installation of the patch, we have problems related to App Monitoring. Can you help?

[korsikov]

@mscagliusi  What king of problem? can you provide detailed information about problems?

[AdamJohnson]

The term "Unprivileged users with network access" is a bit ambiguous. Specifically, if there are people with QAP that has 'anonymous' access, or mashups/embeddings that are available externally, can these be exploited?

Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind ,

New Patches have been published on GIT , do they fix the extensions issue ?

Thank you,

George

[Thomas_Hopp]

Hi @GeorgeSavu you are winning the price for finding those patches as the first user 🙂 as we just started to push them out to GIT. Not all patches are their yet but we are going to update the blog post very soon as well. As well as refreshing the download app. But yes, those patches are fixing the extension issues. Thanks and best regards, Thomas
