Authentication Fixed a random issue ("invalid TFA token due to user inactivity") when logging in using the user alias and TFA SMS with basic authentication. MTM-56608 10.18.0.373 cumulocity
Core platform Previously, the status for operations with a failureReason fragment could not be changed from FAILED, since the failureReason fragment was not allowed for other statuses. Now failureReason is automatically removed when moving an operation from the FAILED status. MTM-57995 10.18.0.377 cumulocity
Data broker An issue has been resolved where the microservice-based data broker might fail to forward messages to the destination tenant after recovering from a temporary loss of connection to the Messaging Service. This connection loss could be caused by, for example, a transient network interruption or by maintenance on the Messaging Service. MTM-57995 10.18.0.373 cumulocity
Microservices Cumulocity IoT allows you to deploy microservices which may offer their own REST endpoints that can be used by Cumulocity IoT API client applications. In the cumulocity.json microservice manifest file you can optionally configure horizontal pod auto scaling using the "scale": "AUTO" configuration. When switching the value from "AUTO" to "NONE" the Kubernetes resource "horizontal pod auto scaler" was not removed again if the microservice was already subscribed at the time the new microservice version was uploaded. This problem is now fixed. MTM-56904 10.18.0.374 cumulocity

Authentication The performance of the first user requests sent after node restart has been improved. Prior to this change, there was a rare issue where the number of all global roles in a tenant was close to but not exceeding 100, and many thousands of devices were concurrently trying to authorize MQTT connections on the restarted node. MTM-52049 10.17.164.0 Core

Administration Fixed an issue where users which only have inventory roles could not add new groups. MTM-52413 10.18.0.45 UI
Administration Fixed an issue with the names of the files downloaded from the platform (for example, from the file repository or from event attachments). UTF-8 characters, for example, in the Japanese localization are no longer missing if the file name includes special characters like "+". MTM-53056 10.18.0.42 UI
Administration Redundant activity log entries in the application details are now filtered out. MTM-52309 10.18.0.26 UI

Messaging Service Fixed an issue where requests from the core platform into the Messaging Service could take a long time to complete, slowing down the response to HTTP requests and potentially preventing the platform from handling new incoming requests. For example, a request from the core platform to publish a message using Notifications 2.0 could block if the tenant had reached its quota for unconsumed notifications, only timing out after a long delay. This issue has been resolved by ensuring that Messaging Service requests that would have blocked now time out quickly. MTM-53509 10.18.0.138 Core
MQTT The error handling when publishing operations to MQTT devices has been improved. MTM-53168 10.18.0.90 Core

Notifications 2.0 Fixed a regression where a simple type name was not accepted as a type filter when creating a Notifications 2.0 subscription. For backwards compatibility with older releases, if the type filter value cannot be parsed as an OData expression, it is now assumed to be a simple type name. MTM-53848 10.18.0.109 Core
REST API Fixed the rare occurrence of an HTTP status 500 response from /tenant/statistics/allTenantsSummary, if one of the tenants was deleted during the request. MTM-53273 10.18.0.135 Core
REST API Several REST API methods have been changed so that at least one query parameter limiting the affected data is required to prevent accidental deletion of too many objects during a bulk delete operation.

This change affects the following APIs:
DELETE /alarm/alarms
DELETE /event/events
DELETE /measurements/measurement

MTM-46642 10.17.231.0 Core
REST API Fixed an issue where POST and PUT requests without Content-Type header were rejected with a 415 HTTP error. The fix has been applied to the Identity, Inventory, Measurements, Alarms and Events APIs. MTM-51886 10.17.170.0 Core
Security To improve security, the "Notes" widget on the Info tab in the device details now sanitizes links in user input by replacing any "target" and "rel" attributes of "a" tags by target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow". DM-2084 10.17.281.0 UI
Security In the Cockpit application, several security issues in the HTML widget have been fixed. MTM-50921 10.17.52.0 UI
