Hi, I have a FME workbench, so i have to use it within my organization and i want to restrict it to outsiders based on domain name or in any possible way. how can i do this ?

Dear community, Upcoming June the 14th Microsoft DCOM will get ‘hardened’ by a update. Therefore I would like to know if the DCOM-protocol is used in any way within FME and if anyone knows this update could affect FME server. If this is the case, it is necessary to test the new hardening. For more information on this update: (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5004442-manage-changes-for-windows-dcom-server-security-feature-bypass-cve-2021-26414-f1400b52-c141-43d2-941e-37ed901c769c) Used FME server versions: FME server 2018.1 & 2021.1

Hello Our security scan has detected a vulnerability against the version of Apache Tomcat installed. The Web server installed on the remote host is prior to 9.0.48.

A serious security alert (CVE-2022-21724) was announced for the PostgreSQL JDBC driver on February 2, 2022. We need to upgrade PostgresSQL JDBC driver to 42.2.25 and above to remediate it. We have identified total 4 PostgresSQL JDBC drivers in FME Server and FME Desktop: [FME Server Root]\\Utilities\\tomcat\\lib\\postgresql-42.2.24.jar [FME Server Root]\\Utilities\\jdbc\\postgresql-42.2.24.jar [FME Server Root]\\Server\\fme\\plugins\\postgresql-42.2.16.jar [FME Desktop Root]\\FME\\plugins\\postgresql-42.2.16.jar Is there any patch available to remediate this vulnerability in those products? Or can we just replace those drivers with the required version?

I have a working Postman script for an OAuth2 connection.

We have a use case where we need to implement a webhook using FME. This will be called by a partner application. This webhook has a predefined URI (in partner application side) like: https://fmeserver/repo/worskapce1.fmw?attr=?attr2=? Names of parameters cannot be changed and partner application is not willing to update the webhook to pass security token in the header. We are planning to do security by only whitelisting the ip addresses of the partner application. In this case, how we do call the FME workspace? Everytime I try to call my workspace, it returns an following error "401-Unauthorized. The request has not been applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the Target resource" Is there no way to call FME workspaces without passing tokens in the header of the call? Is there a way to change the name of the token attribute in the header to something else? I can repurpose attr2 for this and provide a static token to the application.

Currently we are usen FME Desktop 2020.1. In the webconnection we have made connections to our ESRI platform (Arcgis Enterprise). SO when using a workbench data can be extracted from our arcgis enterprise portal. Is it possible to secure the data stored in a web connection in FME Desktop. We would like to prevent anyone who has gained acces to one of our account to also use the web connections to reach the account data stored in the web connection.

Hello all, Our IT department has the policy to remove all the vulnarible Log4j related files from the systems which came from a server scan.

Hi, I found remote command execution and directory traversal vulnerabilities on FME Server 2020.2.3. How can I send you the exploit ? Do you have a mail dedicated to security alerts ? Regards

Hey all, seems a new vulnerability is currently being exploited across the wider network. From what @Todd Davis​ and myself have determined, it seems it will effect FME Server. https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44228 https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/12/minecraft-and-other-apps-face-serious-threat-from-new-code-execution-bug/ Further investigation seems to show that FME Server 2021.1 and on wards contain 2.13. Versions post 2.10 can include the following parameter to mitigate the exploit: ‐Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=True https://www.zdnet.com/article/security-warning-new-zero-day-in-the-log4j-java-library-is-already-being-exploited/

We are using FME Server 2021.0.0.1. In order to be safe against Security Vulnerability Reported Against log4j, do we need to update our current version to 2021.2 ? or should we stay on our current version and wait for the 2022 version?

I would like to know if I could compromise my microsoft account (hacker accessing my One Drive files and microsoft account) by putting my connection credentials for OneDrive in a script on the FME Cloud that is then accessed via a Server App.

We have created a GCP Service Account. Although we got the File based Cred/Python ingestion to work, we are not happy with that approach as far as security risks. Is there a way to establish a Web Connection to GCP BigQuery using a Service Account (FME 2019.2)?

We have an issue where the license server (flex) is going through loads of ports which are closed before finding an open one, as a result everytime we try to run FME it hangs for about 30s waiting for the license ping back, is there anything we can do to try to consistently use an open port? We dont seem to have issues with other licenses that are hosted on that server.

You can set security on database/web connections but the admin user has the permission to view, use and execute by default. Assume that a user knows the name of a secure database connection on the server and use that same name in his workbench as a private parameter with different parameters but with the same as the secure connection on the server. When the user upload his workbench to the server, he will not be able to execute the workbench on the server because he doesn't have the permission to use the database connection on the server. But he asks to schedule his workbench and the admin user configures the schedule for this workbench. From that moment the workbench is able to use the database connection on the server because the admin user has the permission to use the secure database connection. A solution could be that the schedule is configured by another user than admin. Is there any other way to handle this security issue? We are running FME Server 2020.1.3 and our engines are

I have a customer that 4-5 times a year need to run an fme workspace on an offline computer. This computer can not be connected to any network at all. They have floating licenses and now would like to borrow a license without connecting to client to the license server. Is this possible?

Hi, I followed this guide: Sending email, Part 1: Setting up a topic and an email subscriber (safe.com) And we know our port is 25. I followed the guides and troubleshooting, turned the Allow Less Secure apps ON in gmail as well. But still I get stuck on the Creating the email subscription step, the validate gets this error: SSL error occurred. Ensure connection security and port are correct. Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection? I am on company server via VPN so I cannot access the services.msc or make changes to the firewall. Any idea if I entered something wrong?

Hello, I'm curious if there are any potential security issues with a data download application via the result download link. How long do these download links last? Can they be scraped by bad actors? It seems even with an authenticated application the results URL is still publicly accessible in this format: https://[servername]/fmedatadownload/results/FME_[A-Z0-9staticstring]_[0-9string(datestamp perhaps?)]_[0-9]*4.zip Is this already an encoded token? Thanks!
