Original post: 10th March 2016

Kayako 4.73.1 is now available, this update includes an important security fix and many other fixes and improvements.

We recommend all customers upgrade to 4.73.1. An issue was found which in rare circumstances could result in the leakage of an SMTP server username and password in an error message (if you are using an SMTP server). There is no known exploit of this problem in the wild and it is being fixed as a preventative measure. To make it easier to protect yourself, we have included patches for the recent three releases.

This does not apply to Kayako OnDemand customers, and Kayako OnDemand customers will be updated to the latest Kayako release in the coming week.

Highlights

  • Includes security fix for SMTP details leakage

  • Improved Support Center searching which now includes ticket subject

  • Improved cookie security to help prevent session hijacking attacks

  • Top level domain names above 6 characters are now accepted for help desk urls.

  • Improvements to inline image rendering in staff notification emails when being viewed from Microsoft Outlook clients

This release also includes over 30 other bug fixes and improvements. You can find a full changelog for 4.73 and 4.73.1 below. 

Kayako Download customers can find the updated product files by logging into my.kayako.com, under My Orders. Kayako OnDemand customers will be updated in the coming week.
