This release included a few security patches and are listed below:

 

  • Fixed a XSS issue for Risk Assessment and Additional Notes fields in Risks and Issues report.

  • Removed the inclusion of Box\Spout via Composer.

 

 We also made a small number of changes to the UI which included:

 

  • Changed the Site/Location field for assets into a multi-select dropdown so multiple locations can be associated with a single asset.
  • Added multi-lingual support for the Graphic Risk Analysis Report

 

 Last we would like to mention a number of bugs fixed based on community request which included:

 

  • Fixed a bug where the Risk Scoring pie chart on the Overview report would count risks scored with Contributing Risks scoring method toward the unassigned label.
  • Fixed the column filtering configurations in the Risk Management module for Plan Mitigations, Perform Reviews, and Review Regularly. All fields listed available should display as intended now. 
  • Fixed an issue where lists of tags on the Review Regularly page would display items separated by a pipe.
  • Fixed an issue in the Reporting section where charts with a “Download as” function would generate output files in black and white.
  • Fixed an issue where the Compliance Past Audits page would not actually restrict table contents based on filter selections.
  • Resolved an issue where mouseover pop ups did not display as intended on charts in the Reporting module.

 

The SimpleRisk Extras are the paid for functionality that extend the features of the SimpleRisk Core.  This is another release that targets bugs and security patches. One of the biggest fixes being for users who could not see custom fields while editing risks. 

 

The full list of updates to Extras are as follows:

 

Import-Export Extra

  • Fixed an issue where values not mapped on a risk import update could be cleared or emptied.
  • Added the ability to change the Template Group a risk displays with via import update.
  • Added Asset ID to asset exports and made it available to map during import. Asset names can now be updated without losing their associations.
  • Updated Import Export to support XLS/XLSX/CSV. All should work interchangeably. All exports will be XLSX from now on except where directly noted such as the Dynamic Risk Report which remains XLS for now.
  • Unified all separators of list items for all mappable columns. Expectations will now always be “Item 1”,  “Item 2”... 

 

Notification Extra

  • Fixed an issue where schedule reports would not properly filter based on the configuration selection for that report resulting in users receiving unintended messages.
  • Updated Notification Extra to show custom fields properly.
  • Fixed an issue where editing tables in a notifications template could result in a field adjacent to the edited cell to no longer display the value in the e-mail.
  • Fixed an issue where imports with a mapped field but no update to be made would still report to the audit log the risk was updated. This is also further mitigated by verbose auditing addition also on this release.
  • Fixed issues regarding Import triggering notifications that should not otherwise be generated.
  • Fixed an instance where an import could trigger a notification that would send a blank message.

 

Risk Assessment Extra

  • Updated the Pending Risk Additional Notes field to TEXT type. It should now correctly record any amount of details the additional notes field will display will save to the generated risk correctly now.

  • Fixed an issue where Incidents did not display all the related incidents and risks selected.
