- Bug Fixes
- Prevent password from being audited in the Password Change event
A bug was discovered in the 6.65.0 release of USPS-R that could allow the writing of a local users password to a database table as plaintext. This could only happen if the user's password was reset, either by the admin user or from the change password option on the home page, and the password changed happened between the release of 6.65.0 (03/05/2022) and 6.65.1 (03/10/2022). The password could be included in an Auditable Events template report that is only accessible by users with the ADMIN_AUDITEVENTS permissions. By default, this is only the Admin user in USPS-R.
The hotfix will remove any of the possible stored passwords from the Auditable Events table and also prevent the password property from being audited in the future.
To see if any users have changed their passwords since USPS-R 6.65.0, run the SSDT Auditable Events report with the start date of 3/5/2022 and end date of 3/10/2022. Once the report generates look for User Password Change Event and Admin Password Change Event. It is recommended that any user you find here should have its password reset.
