- Security: Fixed a security vulnerability where Chat file uploads could spoof APPLICATION attribution and be read anonymously, allowing content injection into the application namespace.
- Security: Fixed a security vulnerability where document/paragraph migration only validated source knowledge base permissions, leading to cross-tenant content injection and RAG poisoning.
- Security: Fixed a security vulnerability where XLSX embedded image decompression lacked a pixel count limit, allowing authenticated users to trigger memory-exhaustion denial of service (DoS).
- Security: Fixed a security vulnerability where problem/batchassociation lacked ownership validation, leading to cross-tenant paragraph content disclosure (IDOR).
- Security: Fixed a security vulnerability where the anonymous application profile endpoint over-serialized data, causing sensitive configuration disclosure (/chat/api/application/profile).
- Security: Fixed a security vulnerability where the password reset verification code endpoint lacked a guessing attempt limit, allowing unauthorized account takeover.
