• IMPROVED The handling of regex in Script Blockers and Style Blockers was improved.

Version 3.1.4, July 26, 2024

This vulnerability is difficult for attackers to exploit as it requires an administrator to call the compromised log entry in the Borlabs cookie logs within 30 days. Previous data shows that attackers have attempted to perform SQL injections, but these have all failed. During the investigation, the XSS vulnerability and the possible attack scenario were recognised. All installations should therefore be urgently updated to version 3.1.4.

• IMPROVED Minor code improvements.
• ERROR RESOLVED If IAB TCF was enabled, a JavaScript error appeared in some rare cases when reopening the Dialog.

Due to changes in the migration service, all previous migration files will be executed again to ensure that all websites and instances are updated to the desired status. As a result, configuration changes from updates 3.0.11 and 3.1.0 will be reapplied. These changes include the deactivation of "Debug Logging", enabling "Automatic Update" for all Borlabs Cookie versions, and change of the email recipients for automatic package updates.

• IMPROVED Default value of "Reload After Opt-out" changed from false to true. This only affects new Borlabs Cookie installations.
• IMPROVED After installing/updating a package, the CSS is regenerated within the next 5 minutes. After the CSS regeneration, the cache will be cleared. This is all handled by the new Job system.
• IMPROVED Services in the dialog are now ordered by position and then alphabetically. Since in most cases all services have position 0, the list of services should be alphabetical.
• ERROR RESOLVED Changing the status of a service in the overview now updates the JavaScript configuration file, ensuring the service is correctly displayed or hidden in the dialog.

Version 3.0.11, June 4, 2024

• IMPROVED The option "Automatic Update" has been extended by the option "Patch versions". The configuration of automatic updates is now only possible via the Borlabs Cookie dashboard.

This update also disables "Debug Logging", as some customers inadvertently enable this setting without understanding its purpose, leading to unnoticed database overflow.
