HTTP Security Headers Missing
As a part of Security testing, the analyst identified the lack of HTTP security header, which can be a potential for client-side attacks. Fixes have been done in the identified headers via web.config and confirmed that they are present in both service requests and static resource requests.
The following security headers have been added in frontend web config file:
(…\inetpub\wwwroot\Aptify\web.config) under <customHeaders> tag
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="https://YOURSERVER.com" />
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Headers" value="Content-Type" />
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Credentials" value="true" />
<remove name="X-Powered-By" />
<add name="Strict-Transport-Security" value="max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" />
<add name="X-Xss-Protection" value="1; mode=block" />
<add name="X-Content-Type-Options" value="nosniff" />
<add name="X-Frame-Options" value="SAMEORIGIN" />
<add name="Content-Security-Policy" value="default-src 'self' https://YOURSERVER.com https://secure.bluepay.com 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval';
connect-src 'self' https://YOURSERVER.com https://eligibility.wootric.com https://production.wootric.com https://wootric-eligibility.herokuapp.com https://secure.bluepay.com https://graph.microsoft.com https://communitybrands-my.sharepoint.com 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' ;
script-src 'self' https://YOURSERVER.com https://secure.bluepay.com https://communitybrands-my.sharepoint.com 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' ;
script-src-elem 'self' https://YOURSERVER.com 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' ;
img-src 'self' https://YOURSERVER.com https://p.sfx.ms https://communitybrands-my.sharepoint.com data: 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' ;
style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.googleapis.com; font-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.gstatic.com" />
In the above mentioned config file, replace "YOURSERVER" word with your Server Name.
For example: https://YOURSERVER.com ----> https://test-server.Aptify.com
Please Note
- If you had integrated any third-party site, that needs to be added in tag "Content-Security-Policy"
- If Aptify integrates with any external site, then the Site URL need to be mentioned in the security headers for browsing it.
Below key has been updated in SOA Web config file:
( …\inetpub\wwwroot\AptifyServicesAPI\web.config)
<add key=”Aptify.Services.CORS.AllowedDomains” value = ”https://example.aptify.com”/>
(Issue 4887)
Wildcard setting for CORS.AllowedDomains header
As a part of Security testing, it was identified that the CORS policy with wildcardsenabled is not a good choice. Though the use of the wildcard(*)is restricted in the CORS specification and the wildcard cannot be combined with the cross-origin transfer of credentials (authentication, cookies or client-side certificates), it is still a potential security risk. Hence with Aptify 6.2 release, the ‘’ Access-Control-Allow-Origin’’ in frontend web.config file has been updated to explicitly specify the security header details instead of *. Example: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://example.aptify.com.
<add key=”Aptify.Services.CORS.AllowedHeaders” value = ”https://example.aptify.com”/>
(Issue 4839)
Application Server Fixes
Version 10.0.3 of Newtonsoft.json Prevents Windows Task From Being Created
With Aptify 6.1, the version of Newtonsoft.json.DLL deployed in the repository by the service pack installers was 10x. After updating the AptifyAsyncProcessor and AptifyCreateProcessFlowRun executables, confirming the latest version of AptifyProcessFlowEngine.DLL and reactivating the Async service, it was observed that Process Flow Runs were stuck in status "In-Process" and Newonsoft.json error was appearing in the log, requesting version 9x of the DLL. After replacing v10x with v9x in the app server folder, jobs began to run again. As a part of post installation steps, the AptifyShell config file, AptifyAsyncProcessor config file and AptifyCreateProcessFlowRun config file needs to be updated to mention the new version “10.0.0.0” for Newtonsoft.Json assembly.
For more information on troubleshooting the app server issues, please refer Upgrading the App Server with 6.2
(Issue 4850)
Application Server Issues - Need EnableCaptureViewStatistics Attribute
Aptify 6.1 introduced a dependency on a config file attribute named EnableCaptureViewStatistics. This config file attribute, however, is not automatically added to AptifyAsyncProcessor.exe.config or AptifyCreateProcessFlowRun.exe.config as part of the service pack installer. Without this attribute, the Application Server also fails to process jobs. Please set a new key in AptifyAsyncProcessor.exe.config and AptifyCreateProcessFlowRun.exe.config to set the value of EnableCaptureViewStatistics
Attribute to True.
(Issue 4900)

(Issue 3467)
Company only order can't get save in Aptify 6.2
Until the Aptify 6.0 version, the CompanyOrderDefaultPerson attribute in Orders Entity is set to the [Not Specified]. Aptify 6.1 introduced a new logic that actually checks configuration files (Aptify Shell.exe.config) to determine whether or not the company only default person should flow down.
Fixes have been done in Aptify 6.2 to make attribute CompanyOrderDefaultPerson entity attribute in Orders entity to ‘true’ by default and the attribute key in Aptify.Shell.Config for “Aptify.Application.OrderEntity.FlowdownCompanyOrderDefaultPerson” to false. This will now allow to save Company only order correctly with the default settings in 6.2
(Issue 4656)

Silent Error 'No AptifyTypeResolver has been found in the GlobalContext.' when the user logged in to Desktop
In Aptify 6.1 Desktop, loading a view (not a Find results view or view on the dashboard) or opening any record, causes Aptify to log the following error: “No AptifyTypeResolver has been found in the GlobalContext. IGEObjectDataCacheCoordinator will be given an empty implementation.”

Aptify Web: Aptify 6.1 Event Log Errors for Csrf protection is disabled
On Aptify Web for 6.1, there are many entries added to the Event Log. These are Warnings from AptifyServicesMessage that state: Csrf protection is disabled. The site works correctly but it just fills the event log which makes it difficult to troubleshoot the actual problems. Improvements were done in Aptify 6.2 Web installer to control the Event log errors for CSRF protection.
To avoid multiple CSRF warning messages, the following web config file attribute has been added :
<add key="Aptify.Services.Csrf.DisableWarning" value="false"/>
This attribute allows users to Switch off the Event viewer warnings when CSRF protection is disabled.
(Issue 4932 & Issue 4607)
Secondary installers and secondary startup routines executed twice
In Aptify eBusiness 6, we added two new constructs to services: Installers are used for Dependency Injection. Startup Routines are used to execute arbitrary code during SOA startup.
Both of these concepts have a primary and secondary interface. Primary interfaces are implemented by Aptify. Secondary interfaces are implemented by customers. Fixes have been made in Aptify 6.2 release as there was a bug where instances of ISecondaryStartupRoutine and ISecondaryUnityInstaller are executed twice. The goal is to have all Aptify code executes first, then all customer code executes.
(Issue 4731)
Test Removing AppCache (Chrome Subsetting Feature)
Lately, Browsers are deprecating the functionality of the applicationCache feature. This is a breaking change for all applications still using the applicationCache API. This browser feature was leveraged in older versions of Aptify Web to provide a path towards working offline in the product. The feature was never fully completed and customers did not leverage it. Support for offline mode was removed but the applicationCache references remained. In Web console, following message logged: [Deprecation] Application Cache API use is deprecated and will be removed in M82, around April 2020.
Now that Chrome browsers have removed the feature entirely, Aptify Web 6.2 has been updated to remove the Appcache features. AppCache warning should no more be displayed from Chrome console
Who is affected?
Any customer running Aptify Web on 5.5.4.4000 or newer.

Product Management Fixes
Product Prerequisite Function Fails if Product Type Differs from Previously Purchased Product
Aptify 6.2 has corrected the Product pre-requisites failure scenarios reported with earlier versions of Aptify. The scenarios reported are as follows:
- When using Product Prerequisites, if the Product requires two prerequisite Products, using two filter statements joined by an AND operator, the Product cannot be added to the Order and the user receives the Prerequisites Failure Message.
- When using Product Prerequisites, if the required Product’s Type differs from that of the Product being purchased, the Order will not allow the Product to be added and displays the Prerequisites Failure Message. For example, if the required Product’s Type is General and the Product being purchased has a Type of Meeting, the Meeting cannot be added to the Order.

As a part of the Hosted payment page for Bluepay, the following fixes were done in Aptify 6.2 release:
- Limiting the display of supported card types using the Web config attributes.
Examples:
<add key="Aptify.FrameWork.Payment.showAcceptAmex" value="false" />
<add key="Aptify.FrameWork.Payment.showAcceptDiscover" value="false" /> - In Aptify 6.1, even though the Credit Card Hosted Payment Reference Transaction payment type has the Allow “Save for Future Use” box unchecked, the Save for Future option showed up on the hosted payment page at Checkout page.

Performance Improvement Fixes
Performance improvement for services on GE output
With Aptify 6.2, performance improvements have been done in specific services where attachment categories or date/time conversion(for different cultures) were initiated multiple times.
Improvements were done to control the attachment categories block in Aptify Web End Point response using the following attribute in Web.Config file. By default, the flag is set to false.
<add key="Aptify.Services.GeSerialization.ReduceAttachmentCategoryInformation" value="false" />
If flag set to false then no changes will be performed related to attachment category block in GE output. The attachment categories block will display for top-level entity, embedded object level and subtypes record level (default behaviour)
<add key="Aptify.Services.GeSerialization.ReduceAttachmentCategoryInformation" value="false" />
If the flag is set to true, then attachment categories block will only display for top-level entity and subtypes entity level
<add key="Aptify.Services.GeSerialization.ReduceAttachmentCategoryInformation" value="true" />
(Issue 4716 & 4717)
AppSettingFeatureFlag has poor performance when settings not present in config file
With previous versions of Aptify, when the application is retrieving a new boolean setting through AppSettingFeatureFlag, and the flag is missing from the application's config file, the path we execute on is slower than is acceptable. For example, when a flag is checked 500 times, which is not unreasonable in production scenarios, it can add 7 seconds of overhead to the operation.
Fixes have been done in Aptify 6.2 to correct this behavior by code changes.
(Issue 5118)
