Security Issues Resolved in 2026.02
The following issue related to FlexNet Operations security was addressed in the 2026.02 release.
Input Validation Update
(Case 04861815, SWM-31672)
We removed an outdated special-character check that caused updates to user data to fail when existing records already included special characters.
What’s New
| • | Special characters (non-HTML) are now supported in user data. |
| • | HTML and script content is blocked to help protect against injection attacks. |
What This Means for You
| • | Existing profiles can now be updated without errors. |
| • | HTML and script content is restricted, and only standard, non-HTML input is allowed. |
| • | If HTML or script tags are entered, you’ll see a clear message: “The field contains HTML tags. Remove these tags before saving.” |
