This is the official release for openPDC v2.9

This is version 2.9.42 of the openPDC, released on May 15, 2021

NOTE: If you are upgrading from a prior version of the openPDC, you must migrate your existing configuration to use the latest database schema when the Configuration Setup Utility is run after the installation completes - this version includes schema updates.

Security Updates:

This version of the openPDC corrects two vulnerabilities, both related to the web interface in the version 2.8 release of the openPDC – note that the main branch and nightly builds have been patched since September 2020. The vulnerabilities were (1) CVE-2020-11023, related to the version of the jQuery JavaScript library embedded with openPDC, and (2) CVE-2019-10768, related to the version of the Angular JavaScript library embedded with openPDC.

The jQuery JavaScript library is heavily used by the openPDC web interface, including the login page. The Angular JavaScript library is only used on the “Real-time Measurements” screen and a user must be authenticated to access the screen. Both reported vulnerabilities require vulnerable JavaScript code to be exploited by an attacker and would require an authenticated user execute the modified code.

Note that none of the GPA web-based code actually used any of the affected functions identified in the JavaScript library vulnerabilities, as such, the noted vulnerabilities could only be exploited by manually modifying an existing or creating a new web page in the openPDC. Updating a web page in openPDC requires physical file access to the “wwwroot” folder in the openPDC. Generally, GPA does not consider either of these vulnerabilities as exploitable within an unmodified openPDC deployment.

  • AdapterExplorer Tool - analyzes the configuration of a Time-Series Library system validating inputs, outputs and current values
