🛡️ Security Updates

Upgraded dependencies to address the following CVEs:

⚠️ Note: BridgeLink now requires Java 17 or greater. Jetty has been upgraded from 9.4.x to 12.0.x — this is a major version upgrade.


✨ Improvements

  • HTTP Listener connector now exposes a configurable Request Header Size field, allowing users to increase the header buffer beyond the default for environments that send large HTTP headers (e.g., long JWT tokens, verbose cookie headers).
  • Username enumeration fix (issue #125): Resolved a security vulnerability where an attacker could determine valid usernames by observing different error responses when account lockout is enabled. A new property password.allowusernameenumeration = false (default) ensures consistent error responses regardless of whether a username exists.
  • log4j2.properties fix: dir.logs renamed to property.logs — corrects a Log4j 2.x property lookup syntax error that prevented the log directory variable from resolving correctly.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue on the login screen where the username field would insert a period when trailing spaces were typed quickly.
  • Added a show/hide password toggle on the login screen.
  • Improved login screen validation messages and default server field behavior.

🚀 New Features

Configurable SMTP OAuth 2.0 Authentication

BridgeLink 26.3.0 introduces OAuth 2.0 authentication for SMTP email sending (client credentials / XOAUTH2), in addition to the existing None and Basic options. This applies to both the global SMTP server settings and the SMTP Sender connector.

  • Three-way auth selection: None / Basic / OAuth radio buttons in Server Settings and SMTP Sender connector
  • OAuth fields: Client ID, Client Secret, Token Endpoint URL, and Scope
  • Token caching: Access tokens are fetched and cached; proactively refreshed 60 seconds before expiry
  • Verified working: Microsoft 365 / Azure AD via smtp.office365.com:587 (STARTTLS + XOAUTH2)
  • Backward compatible: Existing Basic/None configurations are preserved; the legacy smtpAuth boolean is kept in sync automatically

Note: Google/GCP client credentials flow is not supported by Google. Microsoft 365 with Azure AD app registration is the primary verified provider.

Version History — Now Built Into Core

The Version History plugin (formerly a separate plugin) has been merged into the BridgeLink core product. All users now get built-in Git-backed version control for channels, code templates, and global scripts — no separate plugin installation required.

  • Change tracking: Automatically records who changed what and when for channels, code templates, and global scripts
  • Version comparison: Side-by-side diff view to compare any two versions of a channel or code template
  • Rollback / restore: Revert a channel or code template to any prior version
  • Git integration: Push and pull changes to/from a remote Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
  • Selective push: View local changes, select specific items, and push them to the remote repository in a single commit
  • Search on import: Search and filter when importing channels or code templates from the repository
  • Code templates organized by library: Code templates are grouped by library in the repository and on the import screen
  • Multi-select code template imports: Import multiple code templates at once with correct index sorting
  • Improved commit messages: Channel name and server ID are now included in auto-commit messages; blank commit prompts fall back to the configured default message
  • Performance improvements: Resolved UI freezing/delays when opening channels with large version histories — history now loads in the background

⚙️ Configuration File Changes

mirth.properties

  • Added password.allowusernameenumeration = false — prevents username enumeration when lockout is enabled
  • Updated version to 26.3.0

log4j2.properties

  • Fixed property declaration: dir.logs renamed to property.logs

✨ Improvements


🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the User API page would not load correctly on macOS


🚀 New Feature

Dynamic Lookup Gateway

BridgeLink 4.5.4 introduces the Dynamic Lookup Gateway, which centralizes key-value mapping logic. It enables interface developers and administrators to:

  • Create, manage, and deploy lookup tables that can be updated independently of code.
  • Programmatically access lookups from channels, templates, and scripts.
  • Improve maintainability, scalability, and performance by consolidating mapping logic into a unified, governed system.

This feature significantly reduces duplication and manual effort across interfaces, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
