  • TinyMCE upgrade—The WYSIWYG editor in the Admin now uses the latest version of the TinyMCE dependency (7.3​).

    • TinyMCE 7.3 offers an enhanced user experience, better collaboration, and increased efficiency. TinyMCE 5 has been removed in the 2.4.8 release line.​

    • Since there was a security vulnerability (CVE-2024-38357) reported in TinyMCE 5.10, the dependency was also upgraded for all currently supported release lines and included in all October 2024 security patches:

      • 2.4.7-p3

Hotfixes included in this release

This release includes a hotfix to resolve an issue with the Braintree payment gateway.

The system now includes the necessary fields to fulfill the 3DS VISA mandate requirements when using Braintree as a payment gateway. This ensures that all transactions comply with the latest security standards set by VISA. Previously, these additional fields were not included in the payment information sent, which could have led to non-compliance with the new VISA requirements.

2.4.5-p9

The Adobe Commerce 2.4.5-p9 security release provides security bug fixes for vulnerabilities identified in previous releases of 2.4.5.

For the latest information about the security bug fixes, see Adobe Security Bulletin APSB24-61.

Highlights

  • Rate limiting for one-time passwords—The following new system configuration options are now available to enable rate limiting on two-factor authentication (2FA) one-time password (OTP) validation:

    • Retry attempt limit for Two-Factor Authentication
    • Two-Factor Authentication lockout time (seconds)

    Adobe advises setting a threshold for 2FA OTP validation to limit the number of retry attempts to mitigate brute-force attacks. See Security > 2FA in the Configuration Reference Guide for more information.

  • Encryption key rotation—A new CLI command is now available for changing your encryption key. See the Troubleshooting Encryption Key Rotation: CVE-2024-34102 Knowledge Base article for details.

Platform upgrades

  • MariaDB 10.5 support. This patch release introduces compatibility with MariaDB version 10.5. Adobe Commerce is still compatible with MariaDB version 10.4, but Adobe recommends using Adobe Commerce 2.4.5-p8 and all upcoming 2.4.5 security-only patch releases only with MariaDB version 10.5 because MariaDB 10.4 maintenance ends on June 18, 2024.

Highlights

  • Added Subresource Integrity (SRI) support to comply with PCI 4.0 requirements for verification of script integrity on payment pages. Subresource Integrity (SRI) support provides integrity hashes for all JavaScript assets residing in the local filesystem. The default SRI feature is implemented only on the payment pages for the Admin and storefront areas. However, merchants can extend the default configuration to other pages. See Subresource Integrity in the Commerce PHP Developer Guide.

  • Changes to Content Security Policy (CSP)—Configuration updates and enhancements to Adobe Commerce Content Security Policies (CSPs) to comply with PCI 4.0 requirements. For details, see Content Security Policies in the Commerce PHP Developer Guide.

    • The default CSP configuration for payment pages for Commerce Admin and storefront areas is now restrict mode. For all other pages, the default configuration is report-only mode. In releases prior to 2.4.7, CSP was configured in report-only mode for all pages.

    • Added a nonce provider to allow execution of inline scripts in a CSP. The nonce provider facilitates the generation of unique nonce strings for each request. The strings are then attached to the CSP header.

    • Added options to configure custom URIs to report CSP violations for the Create Order page in the Admin and the Checkout page in the storefront. You can add the configuration from the Admin or by adding the URI to the config.xml file.

      note note
      NOTE
      Updating the CSP configuration to restrict mode might block existing inline scripts on payment pages in the Admin and storefront, which causes the following browser error when a page loads: Refused to execute inline script because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src. Fix these errors by updating the whitelist configuration to allow required scripts. See Troubleshooting in the Commerce PHP Developer Guide.

2.4.5-p7

The Adobe Commerce 2.4.5-p7 security release provides security bug fixes for vulnerabilities that have been identified in previous releases of 2.4.5.

For the latest information about the security bug fixes, see Adobe Security Bulletin APSB24-18.

2.4.5-p6

The Adobe Commerce 2.4.5-p6 security release provides security bug fixes for vulnerabilities that have been identified in previous releases of 2.4.5. This release also includes security enhancements to improve compliance with the latest security best practices.

For the latest information about the security bug fixes, see Adobe Security Bulletin APSB24-03.

Highlights

This release introduces two significant security enhancements:

  • Changes to the behavior of non-generated cache keys:

    • Non-generated cache keys for blocks now include prefixes that differ from prefixes for keys that are generated automatically. (Non-generated cache keys are keys that are set through template directive syntax or the setCacheKey or setData methods.)
    • Non-generated cache keys for blocks now must contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_).

  • Limitations on the number of auto-generated coupon codes. Commerce now limits the number of coupon codes that are automatically generated. The default maximum is 250,000. Merchants can use the new Code Quantity Limit configuration option (Stores > Settings:Configuration > Customers > Promotions) to control this new limit.

2.4.5-p5

The Adobe Commerce 2.4.5-p5 security release provides security bug fixes for vulnerabilities that have been identified in previous releases of 2.4.5. This release also includes security enhancements to improve compliance with the latest security best practices.

For the latest information about the security bug fixes, see Adobe Security Bulletin APSB23-50.

Highlights

This release introduces a new full page cache configuration setting that helps to mitigate the risks associated with the {BASE-URL}/page_cache/block/esi HTTP endpoint. This endpoint supports unrestricted, dynamically loaded content fragments from Commerce layout handles and block structures. The new Handles Param configuration setting sets the value of this endpoint’s handles parameter, which determines the maximum allowed number of handles per API. The default value of this property is 100. Merchants can change this value from the Admin (Stores > Settings:Configuration > System > Full Page Cache > Handles Param).

Known issues

Issue: Adobe Commerce displays a wrong checksum error during download by Composer from repo.magento.com, and package download is interrupted. This issue can occur during download of release packages that were made available during prerelease and is caused by a repackaging of the magento/module-page-cache package.

Workaround: Merchants who see this error during download can take these steps:

  1. Delete the /vendor directory inside the project, if one exists.
  2. Run the bin/magento composer update magento/module-page-cache command. This command updates only the page cache package.

If the checksum problem persists, remove the composer.lock file before re-running the bin/magento composer update command to update every package.

2.4.5-p4

The Adobe Commerce 2.4.5-p4 security release provides security bug fixes for vulnerabilities that have been identified in previous releases of 2.4.5.

For the latest information about the security bug fixes, see Adobe Security Bulletin APSB23-42.
