projectdoc Toolbox
Security fixes in preparation for Confluence Data Center support.
Today we released version 4.13.0 of the projectdoc Toolbox.
This is release provides new features and a couple of bug fixes. It solves a number of security issues in case the attacker has edit privileges on the Confluence server.
The projectdoc Toolbox is an add-on for Confluence supporting agile software development teams to collaborate on process, project, system, and product documentation.

New and Noteworthy
Security Issues
Originally the projectdoc Toolbox was designed for small teams of developers where the team had full access to the server. Therefore making use cases possible had been the main concern at first. This has changed since larger companies started to use the projectdoc Toolbox for the information architecture.
As a preparation step for data center support his release removes a couple of security related issues. The attacker needed to have write access privileges to take advantage of these issues.
To not break existing API this version introduces strict HTML rendering as a feature required to actively turned on. In the next major version this feature is activated by default.
The following issues fall into this category.
Reference Support for Query Parameters
Query parameters may specify complex templates to render property values. To store these templates in one location as a space property, the macro parameter 'select' now supports referencing templates.
Simply introduce the parameter value with the paragraph sign (§) and then add the name of the space property that defines the template.
Note that the template may be formatted with the Confluence editor. For instance to set a property in italics or add a line break.
See PDAC-1462 - Getting issue details... STATUS for more information.
