  • RE: Change default header size for Mango Webserver

    Good catch on the Jetty default. That requestHeaderSize limit comes from Jetty itself (the embedded web server Mango runs on), and Mango doesn't currently expose a mango.properties setting that maps to it. Mango exposes other web server tuning properties (web.threads.maximum, web.requests.queueSize, file upload and websocket buffer sizes, etc.), but request header size isn't wired through.

    A couple of options:

    1. Trim the proxy's injected headers. If your in-house proxy is adding several large headers, reducing what it injects (or moving some of that data to a request body/cookie instead) addresses the actual cause rather than working around a limit.
    2. Terminate at a reverse proxy in front of Mango. Nginx or Apache in front of Mango (see our HTTP and HTTPS Settings guide) gives you a layer where header size limits are configurable (large_client_header_buffers in nginx, for example) before the request reaches Mango's embedded Jetty server at all. This is likely your most practical fix given the limit is coming from Jetty's defaults.
  • Security Advisory & Release Notes: Mango 5.6.13-5.6.15 / 5.7.6-5.7.8

    Three patch releases have shipped on each line since the last advisory (5.6.12 / 5.7.5). Affected versions: all 5.6.x releases prior to 5.6.15, and all 5.7.x releases prior to 5.7.8. We recommend upgrading to 5.6.15 or 5.7.8. Full changelogs: 5.6.x / 5.7.x.

    Mango 5.6.x

    5.6.13 (Sep 28, 2026)

    • Security: BouncyCastle upgraded to 1.86, resolving CVE-2026-8763 and CVE-2026-13506 (neither exploitable in Mango's configuration). Apache SSHD, used by Cloud Connect, upgraded to 2.19.0, resolving CVE-2026-56624.
    • Security: FreeMarker upgraded to 2.3.35, hardening template loading against directory traversal, XML-escaping xmlns, and restricting a template's ability to list Java system properties.
    • Breaking change: Mango may now reject private keys or certificates with unusually expensive key-derivation parameters or malformed subject names at startup, due to stricter BouncyCastle limits on untrusted input.
    • Fixed an event-acknowledgement rollback bug, and a failing event handler blocking every handler after it, on the Events page.

    5.6.14 (Oct 5, 2026)

    • Security: Fixed CVE-2026-84939, a path traversal via a malformed locale identifier, by upgrading the bundled Moment.js UI dependency to 2.31.0.
    • Security: Jackson (jackson-databind) upgraded to 2.21.7, fixing two denial-of-service CVEs (2026-91777, 2026-91776). Mango doesn't use the feature behind the first; the second can only be triggered by the remote source a Persistent TCP publisher connects to.
    • Fixed the Cloud Connect proxy filter intercepting requests for any hostname under its configured proxy domain even while the proxy itself was disabled, a regression present since 5.6.0. The filter now only registers when the proxy is explicitly enabled.
    • Fixed several data sources and publishers (BACnet COV, VMStat, SNMP traps, MQTT Sparkplug, Modbus IP publisher) running on background threads without a security context, which silently dropped event detectors, meta point updates, and reconnect handling.

    5.6.15 (Oct 14, 2026, latest)

    • Security: Fixed CVE-2026-106451, a local privilege escalation in lz4-java. On a server where Mango connects to ClickHouse, another local user could replace the native library Mango extracts to its temp directory and run code inside Mango. If you can't upgrade immediately, set paths.temp in mango.properties to a directory only the Mango user can write to.
    • A BACnet device writing to a published object's non-presentValue properties (e.g. description) no longer sets the corresponding Mango point value; only writes to presentValue do.
    • Fixed events raised by non-superadmin users, or by a data source/publisher with no signed-in user, failing to notify configured event handlers and alarm recipients.
    • Fixed acknowledging an event as a non-superadmin user stopping its handlers from firing when the event returns to normal.

    Mango 5.7.x

    5.7.6 (Sep 23, 2026)

    • Security: Same BouncyCastle and Apache SSHD fixes as 5.6.13 above.
    • Security: Watch-list maintenance events previously evaluated the watch list as superadmin, regardless of who configured the event, so it could suppress alarms on points the configuring user couldn't even read. A new "Roles used to resolve watch list points" setting scopes this correctly. Existing events are migrated to superadmin to preserve current behavior; review them if that's broader than intended. (5.7.x only, not backported to 5.6.x)
    • New OAuth 2.0 / OIDC extraClaims feature: fetch additional claims (groups, roles) from an HTTP endpoint for identity providers that can't include them directly in the token. (5.7.x only)
    • gRPC connections now send keepalive pings, detecting a vanished peer in about 90 seconds instead of stalling indefinitely. (5.7.x only)
    • Breaking change: Same stricter BouncyCastle key/certificate validation as 5.6.13.

    5.7.7 (Oct 5, 2026)

    • Security: Same FreeMarker hardening as 5.6.13 (lands one release later on this line).
    • Security: Same Moment.js (CVE-2026-84939) and Jackson (CVE-2026-91777, CVE-2026-91776) fixes as 5.6.14.
    • Same Cloud Connect proxy filter fix and background-thread security context fix as 5.6.14.

    5.7.8 (Oct 14, 2026, latest)

    • Security: Same lz4-java fix as 5.6.15 (CVE-2026-106451). Also upgrades Spring Framework to 7.0.9, fixing CVE-2026-47884 and CVE-2026-47890 - Mango isn't affected by either, since it doesn't use XSLT views or render view fragments as server-sent events. (Spring upgrade is 5.7.x only)
    • Fixed authentication tokens being rejected once a user's password expired, which broke token-based integrations (e.g. polling engines) with no visible error. Token validity no longer depends on password age. (5.7.x only)
    • Same BACnet publisher property-write fix and non-superadmin event-handling fixes as 5.6.15.

    As always, back up your database and configuration before upgrading, and test in a non-production environment first.

  • BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) in BACnet4J 7.0.0 - What's There and What's Missing

    BACnet4J 7.0.0 has landed with an implementation of BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC). Worth knowing about, but also worth being clear-eyed on what it does and doesn't cover yet.

    What's there:

    • BACnet4J can now act as an SC node connecting to a Hub. If you already have a BACnet/SC Hub Function on your network (from another vendor's device or software), BACnet4J can join it as a node.
    • Alongside it, 7.0.0 brings a batch of spec-compliance work: protocol revision bumped to 20 (with further fixes toward revision 30 compliance), a rewritten segmentation handler (clause 5.4 / addendum 135-2020ch-1), stricter decoding of malformed messages, and the new NetworkPortObject and related structures from the 2024 spec.

    What's missing:

    • No Hub Function. BACnet4J only implements the node side of BACnet/SC. It cannot act as the SC Hub itself, so you still need a separate Hub (another BACnet/SC device or product) for nodes to connect through.
    • Not in Mango yet. This is 7.0.0 of the standalone BACnet4J library. Mango's BACnet data source currently ships BACnet4J 6.1.1 (as of Mango 5.6.11 / 5.7.5). BACnet/SC support has not been integrated into the Mango data source or local device configuration, so you can't configure it from the Mango UI today. That's a separate piece of work from the library update.
    • 7.0.0 is a breaking release. If you consume BACnet4J directly in your own code, this version carries a long list of breaking API changes (Unsigned32 vs UnsignedInteger, renamed classes, changed exception types, stricter decoding that can now fail reads that previously "succeeded" with garbage data). It's not a drop-in upgrade from 6.x.

    If BACnet/SC support in Mango itself is something you need, let us know in this thread.

    Repo and full release notes: github.com/RadixIoT/BACnet4J

  • Security Advisory: Upgrade to Mango 5.6.12 or 5.7.5

    Mango 5.6.11 / 5.6.12 (Aug 25 and Sep 1, 2026) and Mango 5.7.5 (Aug 25, 2026) contain fixes for several security issues. If you're running an earlier version on either line, we recommend upgrading as soon as your maintenance window allows.

    Affected versions: All 5.6.x releases prior to 5.6.11, and all 5.7.x releases prior to 5.7.5.

    Vulnerabilities fixed:

    • Privilege escalation (core). Any user with a script engine permission could evaluate scripts with arbitrary roles, including superadmin.
    • Path traversal (core). File store operations did not reject paths that traverse a symbolic link pointing outside the file store. A symlink placed inside a file store could be used to escape it.
    • Modbus serial permission bypass (modbus-ds). The Modbus serial locator, serial write, and scan tools did not require the data source permission, unlike their IP equivalents. Any authenticated user could write to serial Modbus devices or trigger scans.
    • BACnet denial of service (bacnet-ds). A malformed or malicious BACnet message could trigger an infinite loop. Fixed by upgrading BACnet4J to 6.1.1.
    • Dependency CVEs. A broad set of third-party libraries were updated to patched versions, including Spring Framework, Spring Security, Jetty, Netty, Jackson, PostgreSQL JDBC, jOOQ, log4j, BouncyCastle, and Apache HttpComponents. lz4-java was upgraded to 1.11.1, fixing CVE-2026-59949 (a native-code JVM crash), and Spring LDAP was upgraded to address CVE-2026-41720.

    Breaking changes to review before upgrading:

    • Evaluating a script while requesting roles the caller does not hold now fails with a permission error instead of being silently allowed. If any of your scripts request roles beyond what the calling user holds, update them before upgrading.
    • (5.7.5 only) The REST API now ignores the read-only id property in request bodies. Object identity comes from the URL path or xid instead.
    • (5.6.11 only) BACnet REST serialization of CharacterString values now represents the character encoding as an object rather than a byte.

    Also in 5.6.12: a fix for OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect logins resetting a user's roles to user when oauth2.client.registration.{registrationId}.userMapping.roles.sync is set to false. Roles assigned by an administrator in Mango are now preserved across logins.

    As with any upgrade, back up your database and configuration first and test in a non-production environment before rolling out to production. Full details are in the 5.6.x and 5.7.x release notes.

  • Release Notes for Mango 5.7.x

    Summary of the Mango 5.7.x series (5.7.0 – 5.7.4). Full changelogs are on the documentation site.

    • 5.7.0 (Apr 28, 2026) — Major release: Spring 7, Jetty EE11, and Jackson 3 upgrades; new open-source OPC UA data source built on Eclipse Milo; Maven-based upgrade delivery with PGP signature verification. Breaking changes: five modules removed (Control Core, Environment Canada, log4jDS, MangoIOTools, MangoES Configuration), CSRF now enforced on /httpds and /haystack, and the default gRPC service permission changed from superadmin-only to all users. Third-party modules built against 5.6.x APIs will not load — review the upgrade guide before moving to this series.
    • 5.7.1 (May 13, 2026) — Same ClickHouse/TSL driver upgrade as 5.6.6; Excel report rollups now work correctly on TSL-backed installations.
    • 5.7.2 (Jun 29, 2026) — Major camera-streaming overhaul: substantially lower CPU usage, smoother live video, more reliable connections; fixed a 5.7.0 regression that could crash the web server into a restart loop on certain blank mango.properties values.
    • 5.7.3 (Jul 15, 2026) — Added OPC UA write-back support; isolated SNMP v3 credentials per target (security fix); fixed several data-source startup and event-handling issues.
    • 5.7.4 (Aug 12, 2026, latest) — Added OAuth 2.0 bearer-token role-claim mapping; fixed a silent logging failure that could stop all logging on 5.7.0–5.7.3 after a runtime config reload (worth an immediate upgrade if you're on those versions); EMS/Platform Manager permissions are now enforced server-side rather than in the browser.

    If you're upgrading from 5.6.x, read the 5.7.0 breaking changes carefully — this is a major-version-style jump for modules and integrations even though it's numbered as a minor release.

  • Release Notes for Mango 5.6.x

    Summary of the Mango 5.6.x patch series (5.6.0 – 5.6.10). Full changelogs are on the documentation site.

    • 5.6.0 (Dec 1, 2025) — Java 25 build support (Java 17 remains minimum), new Prometheus metrics endpoint, gRPC publisher offline queuing, multi-level email escalation, redesigned event-handler management UI.
    • 5.6.1 (Dec 5, 2025) — Fixed the Users page loading all rows and producing infinite queries; fixed a circular-dependency exception on startup when an active event exists in the database.
    • 5.6.2 (Dec 15, 2025) — Jetty upgraded to 12.1.5, resolving stale file content being served after on-disk changes; several EMS device-details fixes.
    • 5.6.3 (Feb 19, 2026) — Improved NoSQL (ias-tsdb) "reload links" performance; EMS/Platform Manager filtering and UI fixes; Modbus tools UI now supports multi-select.
    • 5.6.4 (Mar 10, 2026) — radix-tsl upgraded to 0.5.2 with multi-series query support; EMS null-check fixes.
    • 5.6.5 (Mar 23, 2026) — Made ClickHouse FINAL query behavior optional for better performance; fixed gRPC publisher dropping inactive events re-raised after a crash.
    • 5.6.6 (May 13, 2026) — ClickHouse JDBC driver moved to the official upstream release with retuned table defaults, improving ingest and query performance on TSL-backed installs. Requires manually migrating existing tables to take effect — see the docs before upgrading.
    • 5.6.7 (Jun 16, 2026) — Fixed a startup issue affecting Modbus serial (ASCII/RTU) data sources.
    • 5.6.8 (Jun 23, 2026) — Fixed a Cloud Connect user-sync bug that could break the client's web interface; breaking change: MySQL row-by-row result streaming removed (db.fetchSize=Integer.MIN_VALUE is no longer valid), backported from 5.7.
    • 5.6.9 (Jul 22, 2026) — Fixed several data sources (ASCII File, Data File, TCP/IP) failing to register on startup; fixed BACnet/Modbus/gRPC write-back events not firing; fixed a Watchlist JSON import bug dropping chart configuration.
    • 5.6.10 (Aug 4, 2026, latest) — Fixed chart data stopping updates when 3+ points are selected without combine-values.
