The new GitHub integration enables users to seamlessly pull and push diagrams from and to GitHub. The user interface has been refined with several overlay improvements. Additionally, BPMN-DMN linkages have been enhanced to ensure names are displayed accurately and consistently.

16.07.2024

Backwards Compatible to Deal with Differing Atlassian Marketplace Specification

Specific customers were faced with problems not reproducible on any other Confluence instance. The reason turned out to be an outdated specification of our app being delivered to them by the Atlassian Marketplace, as they were in synchronization with a non-existent Marketplace version of our app.

To mitigate the effects of this for the time being and to give the Atlassian Marketplace team time to investigate, our app is now fully compatible with this specification.

16.07.2024

Access Ressources like Diagram Files as User instead of as the App

Confluence ressources, for example the file containing the diagram itself attached to a Confluence page, can be accessed in different ways.

Apps can operate as themselves and appear as a technical user. Certain Confluence instances where not configured to let this technical user access the necessary ressources.

Instead of trying to access ressources as a technical user, our app now operates as the currently logged in Confluence user. This way, our app displays or even edits exactly the ressources a user would be able to view or edit as well. It does so in their name as it is a tool which is, in the end, operated by the users themselves.

16.07.2024

New: Process Net and Usage Restriction Features

  • Add the new Process Net macro to any Confluence page to get an overview over all links between BPMN and DMN diagrams. In order to leverage the full potential of the Process Net macro, please follow the instructions to “Synchronize” your links:

  • Admins can now restrict usage to certain, specially whitelisted Confluence spaces. See our manual for further information.

  • Improved read and write operations for configurations on a per diagram basis like zoom level, shown diagram version and diagram name.

Fix GitLab Authentication vulnerability

We have been made aware of a vulnerability in our Confluence Cloud app “DMN Modeler Enterprise” by a researcher of the Marketplace Bug Bounty program relevant for customers who have connected a GitLab instance to the app. This issue existed before the mentioned release date, the 19th of October 2023. All installations have been updated automatically and the issue thus no longer exists. No action needs to be taken on your part.

This vulnerability has been rated critical, according to the scale published on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS).

If connected with a GitLab project, our app is configured with a client secret. This secret authenticates our app with GitLab. Only logged in Confluence users were able to access this client secret. The client secret itself can not be used to access GitLab, but instead needs to be coupled with an access token which authenticates a specific GitLab user and lets our app act on behalf of this user. This access token was not accessible for anyone but the user themselves. Thus, no unauthenticated party was able to access any GitLab data.

Remediation actions have been taken and the vulnerability has been fixed by precisely following the GitLab procedure for implementing a safe OAuth 2.0 flow for authenticating as a third party app. This solution has then been discussed with our security experts and a repeated test by the researcher who first reported the issue was requested.

Based on our investigation, the vulnerability has thus not led to any impact on our customers or any disclosure of data.

Still, the client secret should not have been accessible and we want you to know that we take this issue very seriously. We are conducting a review of our internal processes and have already implemented additional security reviews - tool guided and by our security experts.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments you might have.
