Maintenance release PAS 4.7.4 thumb

This release brings a host of significant improvements, focusing on security, performance, and functionality. Key highlights include enhanced QR code synchronization, critical security updates, and improved SAML support. These changes reflect our ongoing commitment to providing a secure, efficient, and user-friendly platform.

Highlights:

  1. Improved QR Code Synchronization (PHX-3475): We have completely revamped the QR code sync implementation, allowing for flexible polling intervals. This ensures that BankID QR codes remain in sync, providing a seamless authentication process.
  2. Security Enhancements (PHX-3481, PHX-3674): We have addressesd and mitigated several security vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-23064, CVE-2020-11022, CVE-2020-11023, CVE-2019-11358, CVE-2021-23337, CVE-2020-28500, CVE-2024-34342 and CVE-2024-4367). These updates significantly bolster the security of our platform, ensuring a safer environment for our users.
  3. Enhanced SAML Support (PHX-3494, PHX-3495, PHX-3496, PHX-3497): We have resolved several issues related to SAML bindings and signatures. Our SAML Service Provider (SP) and Identity Provider (IdP) can now handle inbound Redirect-binding for deflated requests, verify detached signatures, and ensure valid signatures on SAMLResponses. These enhancements improve the reliability and security of our SAML integrations.

    HIGHLIGHTS

     

    The 5.1.0 version introduces a new way of configurating Authenticators, exceptionally simplifying for administrators by giving more control of authentication flows. In addition to this, increased built in support for SAML and OIDC protocols and updated guides for configuration makes this 5.1.0 release something that will not just make PAS more secure but also reduce complexity. 

    Authenticators architecture

    Clear separation of protocols versus authentication methods, new simplified configuration guides to support easier and faster configuration. Read more about how this will make the administrators life easier here.

     

    OpenID Connect support

    Significantly more OIDC functionality now available “out-of-the-box” in code instead of via manual configuration. Also some new OIDC support not previously possible, e.g Hybrid Flow support. Link to documentation here.
