Essential Hotfixes
Pega has identified hotfixes that are essential to maintaining secure applications built on the Pega Platform. Ensuring these hotfixes are installed in your environment is one of the key steps of our Security Checklist on the Pega Community.
Pega 8.X
The best way to ensure you have all of the latest fixes is to keep your environment updated on the latest Platform Patch Release. However, some hotfixes are deemed as essential during the Platform Patch Release development cycle before they are made generally available. In such cases, we are listing them here until the Platform Patch Release is generally available.
Currently, the essential hotfixes for Pega 8.x are:
- Security Update – May 2020
- Security Notification – A20
- Security Notification - C20
Security Notification – C20 requires you to take additional steps for the updates to go into effect. For more information, see Implementing the PegaRULES:UserRestricted Role.
These hotfixes have been proactively installed in Pega Cloud environments. On-premise clients can submit a request for these hotfixes using the My Support Portal.
Pega 7.x and PRPC 6.x
The best way to ensure you utilize the full suite of Pega’s offerings is to be on Pega Infinity – our Pega 8.x release. However, if you are on a legacy version of the Pega platform, the following essential hotfixes are available and should be installed in your environments:
- Security Update – May 2020
- Security Notification – A20
- Security Notification - C20 (7.2+ Only)
Security Notification – C20 (7.2+ Only) requires you to take additional steps for the updates to go into effect. For more information, see Implementing the PegaRULES:UserRestricted Role.
These hotfixes have been proactively installed in Pega Cloud environments. On-premise clients can submit a request for these hotfixes using the My Support Portal.

What is the HFIX- number for C20. I could create a GCS ticket. Scanning my system does not list that.
Thanks
