Upgrade notes
Here's some important information you should know about:
Crowd 5.1.0: Critical Security Misconfiguration Vulnerability - CVE-2022-43782
CVE-2022-43782 was addressed in Crowd 4.4.4. No additional actions are needed after the upgrade.
However, we recommend that you review Remote Addresses of the crowd application (Crowd console) and remove addresses that are no longer needed.
Crowd 5.1.0: Removing algorithms used for password encryption and migrating to the default one
In Crowd 5.1.0, we’ve removed the following algorithms used for password encryption:
DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding
DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding
The following one is still supported:
AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding
The removed algorithms will also be automatically migrated to the supported one during upgrade.
If you don’t want to migrate and instead keep using the removed algorithms, start Crowd with the following flag:
-Dcrowd.encryption.upgrade.disabled=trueFor more info on password encryption, see Password encryption.
Supported platforms
We're deprecating the built-in HSQL 1.x database. In the next version of Crowd, we'll end support for it. The HSQL database will be upgraded to HSQL 2.7.x.

There aren't any important changes for app developers in this release.
