105 == General Notes ==
106
107 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
108 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
109 ** ##xwiki.properties##
110 ** ##web.xml##
111 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
112 * Add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## in ##xwiki.cfg## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to any new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.

114 == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} ==
115
Marius Dumitru Florea 2.1 116 === Prototype.js String#stripTags() and String#unescapeHTML() removed ===
Thomas Mortagne 1.1 117
Marius Dumitru Florea 2.1 118 For security reasons, XWiki no longer lets [[Prototype.js>>https://github.com/prototypejs/prototype]] add the ##stripTags()## and ##unescapeHTML()## methods to JavaScript strings: Prototype.js' ##stripTags()##, which ##unescapeHTML()## calls, is vulnerable to a regular expression denial of service ([[CVE-2020-27511>>https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-27511]]), and there is no fixed Prototype.js version. XWiki itself doesn't use these methods, but JavaScript code (e.g. from extensions) that still calls them now fails with ##TypeError: ... is not a function##. This also affects the ##Autocompleter## and ##InPlaceEditor## of Script.aculo.us' ##controls.js##, which XWiki doesn't load itself.
119
120 To fix such code, stop calling these methods. To get the text of an HTML string without its tags, parse it with ##DOMParser## and read the ##textContent## of the result. The other string methods added by Prototype.js, such as ##escapeHTML()##, are still available.
121
Thomas Mortagne 3.1 122 === CSRF tokens can no longer be cleared ===
123
124 The [[CSRF token>>doc:extensions:Extension.XWiki Platform - CSRF.WebHome||anchor="HTokenlifetime"]] of a user is now derived from the authentication validation key, the user and the current time period instead of being stored, so it cannot be cleared anymore: ##CSRFToken#clearToken()## and ##$services.csrf.clearToken()## are deprecated and do nothing. Code calling them to invalidate the token of the current user should stop relying on it: the token now only changes when its lifetime (##csrf.tokenLifetime## in ##xwiki.properties##) expires or when the validation key changes.
125
Simon Urli 4.1 126 === Export URLs require a POST request ===
127
128 The export action now performs an export only for a POST request. Opening an export URL in a browser shows a "Confirm the Export" page from which the export is resubmitted, and a script calling the export action (a ##curl## or ##wget## backup, for instance) has to send a POST request instead of a GET one. An export format added through the ##org.xwiki.platform.template.exportFormats## UI extension point whose URL targets the export action has to declare ##method=post##.
