Issues Addressed

The following notable and important issues are fixed in this release.

Category/Component Issue Description
Cloud Agent Processes We fixed an issue where Cloud Agents hosted on AWS Botterocket AMIs were not updating any host data in the user interface.
Untrusted Search Path Vulnerability The shell scripts packaged with the Cloud Agent installer execute multiple system utilities without an absolute path or resetting a path to a safe value. This allows a malicious actor to place harmful files on your assets when the shell scripts are executed with elevated privileges.

We have updated this behavior by setting up the fixed paths for shell script execution. This enhancement prevents the infiltration of malicious files on your assets and prevents you from any potential security threats. The updated shell script behavior also helps in mitigating the Untrusted Search Path Vulnerability (CWE-426).

Known Issues
