Magento Commerce 2.2.8 Release Notes

Release notes published on March 26, 2019 and last edited on July 31, 2019.

We are pleased to present Magento Commerce 2.2.8. This release includes over 30 critical enhancements to product security, over 150 core code fixes and enhancements, and 285 community-submitted pull requests.

Although this release includes these security enhancements, no confirmed attacks related to these issues have occurred to date. However, certain vulnerabilities can potentially be exploited to access customer information or take over administrator sessions, so we recommend that you upgrade your Magento software to the latest version as soon as possible.

See Magento Security Center for a comprehensive discussion of these issues. All exploitable security issues fixed in this release (2.2.8) have been ported to 2.3.1, 2.1.17, 1.14.4.1, and 1.9.4.1, as appropriate.

Apply patch PRODSECBUG-2233 to address critical remote code execution vulnerability (RCE)

An unauthenticated cross-site scripting vulnerability combined with an authenticated Phar deserialization vulnerability has left this version of Magento Commerce open to serious exploit. An attacker can use these vulnerabilities to inject JavaScript into the Magento Admin and subsequently launch malicious code in a store user’s browser. We strongly recommend that all users of the affected versions of Magento download and apply the appropriate patch as soon as possible.

This issue and the available patches are discussed in the Extending the June 25 Security Update to Older Versions of Magento blog post. You can directly access patch code through your Magento account for Magento Commerce. Locate the patch by the name. We provide both Git-based and Composer-based patches.

Apply patch PRODSECBUG-2198 to address critical SQL injection vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in 2.2.x Magento code. A fix for this issue is included in Magento 2.2.8. If you cannot immediately apply the full patch, you can quickly protect your store from this vulnerability by installing patch PRODSECBUG-2198. However, we strongly encourage all merchants to stay up-to-date on security patches. See the description of PRODSECBUG-2198 in the Magento Security Center for information on this vulnerability.

Follow these steps to download and apply this patch:

1. Access My Account.

2. Navigate to the Downloads tab. Select the Magento edition and version you need.

3. Select Support Patches and Security Patches, then PRODSECBUG-2198.

4. Download the patch and upload to a specific directory in your Magento installation such as m2-hotfixes (confirm that the directory is not accessible publicly).

5. From your project root, apply the patch.
 git apply ./m2-hotfixes/<patch-file-name>.

6. Refresh the cache from the Admin (System > Cache Management).

PayPal Payflow Pro active carding activity update

The PayPal Payflow Pro integration in Magento is being actively targeted by carding activity. To resolve these carding activity issues, Magento has provided Composer packages that add an option for Google reCAPTCHA and CAPTCHA to the Payflow Pro checkout form. See PayPal Payflow Pro active carding activity for a full discussion of this issue and instructions on downloading these packages. We strongly recommend that all Payflow Pro merchants download and install these packages to help enhance the security of their storefronts.

Apply the Admin Dashboard Image-Charts patch to address deprecation of Google Image Charts

Magento 2.x currently uses Google Image Charts to render static charts in Admin dashboards. Google stopped supporting Google Image Charts on March 14, 2019, and Magento is providing the Admin Dashboard Image-Charts patch to replace Google Image Charts with the Image-Charts free service. Users of Magento 2.x deployments will not be able to view static charts in Magento 2.x instances unless they download and apply this patch.

See Switch from deprecated Google Image Charts to Image-Charts for Magento for information on downloading and applying this patch.

Highlights

Look for the following highlights in this release:

Merchant tool enhancements

• Improved order creation workflow in the Admin. The Admin order creation workflow has been refactored to eliminate delays when editing billing and shipping addresses. Processing of these fields now happens only after they are populated.

• Ability to upload PDP images without compression and downsizing. Merchants can now upload PDP images larger than 1920 x 1200 without first compressing and downsizing the images. Previously, when a merchant uploaded a high quality product image (larger than 1920 x 1200), Magento resized and compressed the image. Merchants can now set requirements for resizing and compression as well as compression quality and target width and height.

Substantial security enhancements

These releases include security enhancements that help close cross-site scripting, arbitrary code execution, and sensitive data disclosure vulnerabilities as well as other security issues. No confirmed attacks related to these issues have occurred to date. However, certain vulnerabilities can potentially be exploited to access customer information or take over administrator sessions. All exploitable security issues fixed in this release (2.2.8) have been ported to 2.3.1, 2.1.17, 1.14.4.1, and 1.9.4.1, as appropriate.

Infrastructure improvements

• Magento now supports Elasticsearch 6.x. (Elasticsearch 5.x reached end-of-life on March 11, 2019. For more information, see Elastic Product End of Life Dates. Fix submitted by community member Romain Ruaud. Thank you, Romain!

• Magento’s implementation of the Authorize.Net Direct Post payment method currently uses MD5 based hash for all M1 and M2 installations. As of June 28, 2019, Authorize.Net will stop supporting MD5 based hash usage. See Authorize.Net Direct Post for a discussion of this deprecation and the steps you need to take to add the new key you’ll need after deprecation. *

• The shipping and billing data that a user enters during checkout now persists if the user interrupts checkout to continue shopping. Previously, checkout data was deleted after a cart update.

Functional fixes

In addition to security enhancements, this release contains the following functional fixes.

Installation, setup, and deployment

• A new cron.log file dedicated to logging cron-related information has been added to Magento. This new log file reduces output previously sent to the system.log file, making it easier to find non-cron-related information in the system.log file. Fix submitted by Pieter Hoste in pull request 18389. GitHub-17190

• The getHostUrl() method has been updated to reference HTTP_HOST rather than SERVER_PORT. Fix submitted by Vishal Gelani in pull request 18659. GitHub-12969

• Magento now skips disabled modules when compiling static content. Fix submitted by Shikha Mishra in pull request 19989. GitHub-19605

• The config:set --lock-config command now acts as expected on all scopes. Previously, after this command was run, admin users were not able to change the configuration for the default store, but could still change it for other scopes. Fix submitted by Mahesh Singh in pull request 20322. GitHub-19609

Backend

• The address form in the Admin order creation workflow has been refactored to improve performance.

• Magento no longer displays a duplicate Add product button when you change currency from the Order currency dropdown while creating an order from the Admin.

• Magento no longer deletes custom shared catalogs when the user that created it is deleted.

• Magento now loads the company profile, roles, and permissions sections of a company account when Enable Reward Points Functionality is set to no in the Admin, and you flush cache storage.

• Tier pricing remains in effect when you add a product with tier pricing to an order from the Admin. Previously, Magento converted tier prices to non-discounted product prices when you added more products to the order, applied a custom price to one of the products, or applied a coupon code to the order.

• You can now filter customers by status. Previously, Magento threw an SQL ERROR when you clicked on Apply Filters after setting the filter to status.

• Magento now displays products that merchants have added to the public catalog through Product > Edit page > Shared Catalog. Previously, these items appeared if added through Catalog > Shared Catalog, but not through Product > Edit page > Shared Catalog.

• Menus now close as expected from the Quick Order page in mobile view.

Bundle products

• Bundle product SKUs are now built based on the order of the associated (selected) product ID numbers in ascending order. Previously, SKUs were built based on the order of the selected product ID numbers in ascending order instead of the order in which the option is added to the bundle product.

• Magento no longer overwrites user-defined option quantities with default values when a customer edits a bundle product from a shopping cart. Fix submitted by Joseph Maxwell in pull request 15905. GitHub-4942

Previously, when you reloaded a bundle with a special price that requires four positions after the decimal (for example, 78,9473), Magento rounded the price to two decimal places. Fix submitted by magently in pull request 17971. GitHub-17638

• Magento now maintains the correct base price for a bundle product when you add a bundle product in one currency and then add the same bundle product option in a different currency. Previously, when you added the same bundle product option in a different currency, Magento doubled the base price.

CAPTCHA

• CAPTCHA now appears as expected in the Log in popup window.

Catalog

• Magento now correctly calculates fixed tier price discount for products with special prices. Fix submitted by Vishal Gelani in pull request 18743. GitHub-18652

• You can now save products with at least one tier price.

• Magento now saves default values for category URL paths in accordance with the Use Default Value and Create a Permanent Redirect settings. Previously, in deployments running multiple stores, if a category’s URL key was changed and saved, Magento did not change the category’s URL key back to the default URL key when saved with the Use Default Value box checked and Create a Permanent Redirect box unchecked.

• Magento now retains across categories any value you set for the number of categories displayed per page.

• Changes to product images made under the All Stores scope now affect product images at the store-view level.

• You can now successfully change and save product order when you use a rule that implements a contains condition operator in Virtual Merchandiser. Previously, Magento did not save product position as expected.

• Category pages now display products when swatch images are missing. Previously, Magento did not display these products, and the console displayed this error message, Error: [object Object].

• Removed unnecessary slash from app/code/Magento/CatalogInventory/etc/di.xml. This extraneous slash had previously resulted in Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductRenderListInterface returning products regardless of visibility. Fix submitted by Milind Singh in pull request 20886. GitHub-20409

• Customers can change product status by clicking on the toggle element or by clicking on label text, but not by clicking the area around a toggle element. Previously, if a customer clicked on the area around a toggle element, Magento changed the state of the element. Unintended results could occur if a customer mistakenly clicked on the area around the element and didn’t realize that the status had changed.

• Updates to related products now appear as expected in both the storefront product page and the Admin product edit page. Previously, the storefront displayed product updates, but not all related product updates showed up in the Admin. Fix submitted by Pieter Hoste in pull request 17885. GitHub-14050

• Magento now correctly displays the greater than operator (>) when you configure the catalog products list widget for a CMS block.

• You can now insert multiple catalog product list widgets in a CMS page.

• Performance has improved for sessions where customers browse many product pages. (This performance boost is a result of replacing the jQuery localStorage API with native localStorage in app/code/Magento/Catalog/view/frontend/web/js/product/storage/data-storage.js and app/code/Magento/Catalog/view/frontend/web/js/product/storage/ids-storage.js.)

• Customers who have an address associated with a country that has not been set to allowed can now successfully reset their password.

• Magento now displays the value of a custom customer address attribute in the column for that attribute when you create a custom customer address attribute and set it to be displayed in the Columns list. Previously, Magento added the customer code column to the Customer table, but left these columns blank.

Developer

• You can now print order information from the customer dashboard.

• You can now delete a sample link from a downloadable product. Previously, Magento restored a deleted link after you saved the downloadable product. Fix submitted by Ansari in pull request 19431. GitHub-19344

EAV

• Magento no longer changes the ute source_model when you create an attribute option through the API.

Issue: The CGI URL gateway in the UPS module has been updated from HTTP to HTTPS. Consequently, the UPS shipping method does not populate correctly. Workaround: Confirm that the Gateway URL uses the HTTPS protocol in the UPS Shipping Method Configuration.

Updating an existing setting:

If UPS Type is set to United Parcel Service in the UPS Shipping Method Configuration, you must manually change the protocol of the Gateway URL from HTTP to HTTPS. Example: https://www.ups.com/using/services/rave/qcostcgi.cgi

To configure UPS for the first time:

1. Navigate to Stores  > Settings  > Configuration  >  Sales  > Shipping Methods. Then, expand the UPS section.

2. At the UPS Type field, clear the Use system value checkbox. Then, change UPS Type to United Parcel Service XML. The Gateway URL populates correctly when this value is selected.

3. Tap Save Config.
