Improper Access Control - Constellation AppStatic service

Pega continually works to implement security controls designed to protect client environments.  With this focus, Pega has issued hotfixes and patch releases for one critical security vulnerability in Pega Platform.   

We are not aware of any of our clients being compromised as a result of this vulnerability. 

The remediation for these issues will be included as part of the product in hotfixes and patch releases of the Pega Platform listed above.   

We will not provide hotfixes on prior versions of the platform other than those listed for this Security Advisory.  We will not provide steps as part of a local change.   

If you are a Pega Cloud® client, your Pega Cloud® environments running the relevant Pega versions listed in the table below, are being proactively remediated by Pega. Cloud Maintenance (CM) cases are being created for each of your environments and will provide the schedule of when the hotfixes will be applied.  If you are not on a version with a solution provided, you need to upgrade as soon as possible. 

If you are a United States Pega Cloud for Government (PCFG) client, Cloud Change (CC) cases are being created for the relevant hotfix, which will be applied by Pega.  If you are not on a version with a solution provided, you need to upgrade as soon as possible. 

If you are an on–premises or client managed cloud client, please review the tables below to determine which hotfixes correspond to your Pegasystems installation.  Once you have determined the appropriate hotfix IDs, you can download your hotfix directly from My Security Hotfixes on My Pega. 

Information regarding the availability of the hotfixes will be publicly posted on Pega Support Center on April 23, 2025 (90 days) in order to give all Pega clients time to patch their systems, we request that clients not discuss this in public forums until after it’s been publicly posted.  

As always, we recommend our clients review our Security Checklist regularly.
