Qdabra Forms 11.17 FV 11.17 · FD 5.17

• Security
  • When query restrictions are enforced, SharePoint _api requests are denied if any path segment is . or .., literal or percent-encoded (including inside quoted OData string literals), or if the path contains a literal backslash. Encoded slashes and backslashes outside quoted literals, and a percent-encoded quote (%27) anywhere in the path, are also denied. This applies to single and $batch requests.
  • The unused /Send/EmailPDF, /Send/SendPDF and /Send/HtmlToPDF endpoints have been removed.
  • PDF rendering no longer runs JavaScript in form content. Inline event handlers and javascript:, vbscript: and data:text/html links are removed before rendering; ordinary hyperlinks and supported images are preserved.
  • To mitigate a security vulnerability in the PDF renderer's Brotli font decompression library (CVE-2026-111497), PDF rendering no longer loads embedded web fonts, WOFF2 web fonts, linked stylesheets or SVG images. WOFF2 fonts are the ones decompressed with Brotli. Text falls back to a standard font and the rest of the styling is preserved. Forms using ordinary named fonts and PNG, JPEG or GIF images are unaffected. A stylesheet that pulls one of these in through a CSS background (for example a data:image/svg+xml image) stops the PDF from being produced until the reference is removed.
  • With local-web protection enabled, outbound data connections now use a validated IP address so DNS changes cannot redirect them to internal services. HTTPS still verifies the original hostname; forward proxies are not supported in this mode.
  • PDF generation now checks additional image and CSS resource references, and rejects unsafe or ambiguous markup, HTML containing form-feed or NUL characters, the legacy noxhtml element, and repeated src, href, style or similar attributes on the same element.
  • Inline PDF attachments now check linked resources before conversion. Word or Excel attachments with externally linked resources (including external template references and local-file or file-share hyperlinks) are rejected with an attachment error; Markdown attachments that reference local image files are rejected.
  • FormsViewer now checks which site a data-changing request comes from, to guard against cross-site request forgery.
  • PDF generation now limits how much output a form's views can produce and how long they can take to render. A form that exceeds a limit fails with "Render failed - the view produced too much output." or "Render failed - the view took too long to render." instead of producing an oversized PDF or hanging.
  • Error pages no longer show the Home, About and Contact links in the header.
  • (On-premises) An on-premises SharePoint host is now accepted only if its origin is listed in the new trustedOrigins attribute of the <sharePoint> element in web.config; unlisted hosts are rejected. SharePoint Online hosts need no configuration. See the upgrade notes.
  • (On-premises) PDFs can include linked images from URL paths an administrator approves in <allowedImagePaths>; other linked images are removed and each removal is logged. The PDF limits (60 seconds and 134,217,728 characters by default) can be changed with the transformTimeoutSeconds and transformMaxOutputChars attributes. The root page can be disabled with <homePage mode="disabled" />. See the upgrade notes.

• Indentation
  • Increase Indent and Decrease Indent can now be applied to a whole layout table, repeating table, section, or repeating section. Click the tab at the bottom of the control, then use Increase or Decrease Indent.
• List Forms
  • Published list form fields can now be modified with Edit Field, except ID, Attachments, Choice and Lookup fields. Depending on the field you can change its display name, whether it is required, its minimum and maximum (number fields) and its maximum characters (text fields). The data type and default value of a published field can't be changed. Person fields, including Created By and Modified By, can be opened with Edit Field to change their display name.
  • Use the Delete Field button in the Properties pane to delete fields that have not yet been published to the list.
• Bug Fixes
  • List form fields added or modified as required were not saved as required, so Publish List Fields didn't apply the setting to the list.
  • Rebinding an unbound section wasn't saved; after reopening the form the section showed as unbound again.
  • In Rule Details, the "and" / "or" between condition rows was not visible.
  • For rules on a secondary data source field, conditions that refer to the main data source through get-DOM() were shown as raw XPath. They now show field names when the XPath matches the form's schema.

Qdabra Forms 11.16 FV 11.16 · FD 5.16

• Security
  • Rich text boxes now remove scripts, event handlers and javascript: links from their content, both when content is saved and when existing forms are displayed. Formatting, tables, links and images are kept.
  • Local and network file download links now serve a generic binary content type while retaining attachment delivery, including for PDF, HTML, and SVG files.
  • HTTPS responses now send HSTS on sharepoint-entraid, openid, aad, and adfs sites, and sites configured with sameSite="None". A new setting under <formsViewer><security> can disable it; see the Security Hardening guide.
  • SharePoint Online mode sites now accept only SharePoint Online host URLs as the SharePoint host.
  • An admin <user> entry can now carry an optional organizationKey attribute so it only applies to requests from that organization.
  • When query restrictions are enforced, secret environment variables are only allowed on queries whose rule lists them in the new Secret variables field. Requests without secret variables, and sites with query restrictions off, are unchanged.
  • Local and network file reads, directory listings, uploads and delete APIs now require the request to come from an open form. Tenant admins can still read files and list directories outside a form.
  • Responses now send X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff and Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin.
  • Form session anti-spoofing tokens now only work for the tenant and site they were issued for.
  • Sending e-mail through FormsViewer now requires the request to come from an open form.
  • Anonymous requests can no longer list template names or template groups, and an anonymously opened form's document is loaded only if its template allows anonymous users. Other data reads by non-admins now require an open form.
  • Stored SharePoint list credentials are now used only for requests to the site they were saved for.
  • Blocked data connection requests show non-admin and anonymous users a generic error; admins and the server log still see the reason.
  • Template uploads, PDFs, FormsDesigner saves, publishing and version restores now reject templates whose manifests reference component files outside the template, and a rejected template is no longer partly stored.
  • HTML tags in error messages returned to backend API calls are now escaped.
  • (On-premises) Reading a local or network file as text is limited to 100 MB (configurable via maxFileTextBytes); on the <localAccess> allowlist, a stored network credential no longer grants access on its own; the default maxRequestLength for new installations is 30 MB. See the upgrade notes.
  • Forms can no longer be opened using the URL of an XSN that is not uploaded as a template. The unused /api/Forms endpoints were removed, jQuery UI is updated to 1.14.2, temporary template folders have randomized names, and the cabinet extraction API used for XTP import is restricted to form administrators.
• Authentication (aad and adfs only)
  • Users now stay signed in for 8 hours after their last activity, up to 24 hours from sign-in, instead of being signed out about an hour after sign-in. An optional <session lifetimeMinutes="" maxLifetimeMinutes="" /> element under <authentication> changes these limits.
  • Fixed issues with the login process looping indefinitely under certain web.config settings.
• SharePoint On-Prem
  • The signing certificate can now be loaded from the Windows certificate store by thumbprint, with the new ClientSigningCertificateThumbprint app setting, instead of from a .pfx file.
• qRules
  • SaveToNetwork now skips blank attachment rows when uploading files.
  • SaveToSharePoint now fills in a qRulesItemId attribute on the attachment node with the saved file's list item ID.
  • Environment variable names containing underscores now work in data connections. An undefined name now reports an "Unknown variable" error instead of being sent as is.
• Template Version History
  • Open buttons are now real links, so they can be copied or opened in a new tab. The published version's link always opens the current published version.
  • Opening an archived version in FormsDesigner when you have no draft now lets you edit it and save a new draft from it.
• Bug Fixes
  • Restored the Microsoft.AspNet.Providers.Core package (System.Web.Providers.dll), accidentally removed in 11.12, needed to store session state in a database.
  • When a user's sign-in expires while a form is open, loading or submitting data now shows "Your session has expired. Please refresh the page to sign in again." instead of "Failed to fetch".
  • Repeating sections with auto margins were centered instead of following their container's alignment.
  • Multiline text boxes with formatting rules were rendering one line high.
  • A list form opened with the ID of an item that does not exist, or that the user cannot see, now shows an error instead of an empty form.
  • "Query only the current item": documents with encoded characters in their names were not found, and with no current document the query now returns no rows instead of every item.
  • Pasting into a rich text box could be lost after the box was hidden and shown again.
  • Opening a form with FVTemplateVersion=userLatest and FVAnon=true now opens the signed-in user's draft, or shows an error if not signed in.
  • qRules AssignDocument ignored the /myinfo user lookup; qRules Transform with /placement=prepend into an empty node reported a failure after inserting the content.
  • People picker content is now rendered in PDFs, and PDFs now render using the version of the form that is open instead of the published version.
  • E-mails that include the form view no longer carry a stray attachment and a broken image for the File Attachment icon.
  • The error from editing a form in two browser tabs is now readable when the draft was saved elsewhere.
  • Update Template page: no horizontal scrollbar when hovering an archived version's More actions button, and rows without comments no longer expand when clicked.
• XPath Engine Update
  • Element and attribute names are now matched case-sensitively. Fields whose names differ only by letter case no longer share a value, and an XPath whose letter case differs from the actual node names no longer matches.
  • A positional predicate such as [1] or [last()] applies within each parent: /my:root/my:group/my:item[1] selects the first my:item child of every my:group, not only the first my:item found.
  • A predicate on a union or a parenthesized expression, such as (my:a | my:b)[1], counts nodes in document order.
• Documentation
  • The new Security Hardening guide brings together optional and recommended settings for on-premises sites, including secure cookies, credential encryption, internal web requests, and IIS configuration.
  • The on-premises upgrade guide has been revised.

• Ribbon
  • The ribbon now stays on a single row in narrow windows, collapsing its groups as needed to fit.
• Drafts
  • The topbar now indicates when you have opened another user's draft. If you don't have a draft of your own, your first edit creates one for you and the other user's draft is left unchanged. If you already have a draft, the other user's draft opens as read-only.
• Layout Tables
  • Selecting a layout table now shows its total width in Control Properties. The width is read-only for now; change the column widths to resize the table.
• Bug Fixes
  • SharePoint URL functions such as get-SharePointSiteUrl() were rejected as invalid in formulas. They are now accepted and listed under a new URL category in the Insert Function dialog.
  • The incorrect warning on "Query data for the active form only" for SharePoint list data connections has been removed.
  • qRules Command Builder: the blank data-source option now shows "(omit)" instead of "Main (default)", and number parameters open empty with the parameter description as a hint instead of a misleading 0.

Qdabra Forms 11.15 FV 11.15 · FD 5.15

• Licensing (public cloud instance)
  • New tenants start on a free trial license, created automatically.
  • The Manage License page shows your license, its expiration, and form-open usage, and lets you buy or renew a license online.
  • Banners and reminder emails warn before and after a license expires.
  • Once an expired license's 60-day grace period ends, FormsDesigner, template downloads, and template updates are unavailable until it is renewed. Forms keep opening.
• Template Version History
  • Version history is now split into a Current card (drafts and the published version, with their actions) and an Archived Versions card. Archived versions load as you scroll instead of all at once.
• Date Pickers
  • Date pickers now show a validation error and continue to display the entered value if an invalid date format is entered, instead of switching to the current date. The underlying field is not modified if the entry is invalid.
  • Date pickers also accept unambiguous dates in formats other than the control's configured format, such as 2026-08-31 or August 31, 2026 in an m/d/yy picker.
• Security Fixes
  • Downloading a template's .xsn file and opening FormsDesigner now require form administrator rights.
• Bug Fixes
  • Calculated values set to show a time (or a date and time) now display it in the control's configured format instead of the raw stored value or the date alone.
  • The qRules DateDiff command returned wrong results when the first date was earlier than the second.
  • Control selection focus no longer jumps to the top of the form after the File Attachment dialog closes.
  • People Picker search results closed without selecting a value if a mouse click took too long.
  • PDFs of forms that use the xdUtil:Match function failed to render.
  • Update Template page: version history now shows the date for older versions that were missing it, and the author wherever one was recorded.
  • Clearing the Manage Templates search box no longer collapses every template group.
• Performance
  • Ribbon settings are now bundled with the form's initial payload instead of requested separately on each form load.
• On-Premises
  • New databases created with FormsViewerDB.sql now have AUTO_CLOSE turned off.

• Rules
  • Disabled action rules are now shown with strikethrough in the Rules pane rule list, so you can see at a glance which rules won't run.
• Promoted Properties
  • The Publish button on the Publishing tab is now labeled "Publish Promoted Properties", so it isn't mistaken for publishing the form.
• Bug Fixes
  • Templates with promoted properties published from Forms Designer 5.14 couldn't be opened in InfoPath Designer. Templates already published this way are fixed the next time they are saved in Forms Designer.
  • Views failed to load if they contained unbound hyperlink controls.
  • In the Rule Inspector, turning on Replace moved the Warnings, Expand All, and Collapse All buttons to the bottom of the header. They now stay top-aligned.
  • The Rename icon in the Resource Files tab looked almost identical to the Edit icon. Rename now uses a distinct writing-cursor icon.

Qdabra Forms 11.14 FV 11.14 · FD 5.14

• New Encryption System
  • FormsViewer now includes a completely redesigned system for encrypting and storing credentials added on the Manage Credentials page, based on envelope encryption.
  • Cloud: our public cloud instances now use this system. Existing credentials were migrated automatically; no action is required.
  • On-prem: enabling envelope encryption is optional but recommended. Existing installations keep working after upgrade; FormsViewer continues to use the previous system until you transition to the new one (see the Migrating existing credentials documentation).
  • The Manage Credentials feature is now off by default in new FormsViewer installations.
• Security Fixes
  • On-prem customers should upgrade promptly to receive these fixes.
  • Local network-file operations (on-premise only): uploaded file names can no longer escape the target folder or create executable files, and deleting files no longer accepts GET requests.
  • PDF service: external xsl:import / xsl:include references in view stylesheets are no longer followed (prevents server-side request forgery).
  • Template-group lookups now require an authenticated user.
  • SharePoint metadata lookup APIs are now restricted to form administrators.
  • Removed three unused, unauthenticated form-file processing endpoints.
  • Removed the response headers that disclosed the web framework and version.

• Promoted Properties
  • Promoted properties can now be published to a SharePoint site content type. For a form already published to a content type, Publish Promoted Properties creates the site columns and links them to the content type.
  • Limitations: a property can't be attached to an existing site column unless that column already promotes the same field; the field, name, and aggregation of a published property can't be changed after publish; deleting a published property warns that the column stays on the content type.
  • UI Rework: the Promoted Properties tab is now a read-only list with a modal for adding and editing rows. The modal validates the property before it can be confirmed, and changes apply when the modal is confirmed; the Apply Changes button and the "apply changes before publishing" prompt have been removed.
• Control Properties
  • The pane header now shows the selected control's type (for example "Text Box" or "Layout Table") beneath its title.
• Rule Inspector
  • Disabled rules are marked with a "Disabled" badge, matching InfoPath.
• Security
  • Unsafe view markup in a form template (embedded frames, objects, or script-bearing attributes) is now blocked from rendering on the canvas instead of potentially running in the designer.
• Bug Fixes
  • Restored the "Use List Name For Submit" and "Data is from Repeating group" checkboxes that were missing from the SharePoint Mappings tab (regression introduced in 5.3).
  • Fixed publishing changes to a Choice field's options from a list form failing with "An unexpected 'StartObject' node was found when reading from the JSON reader."

2026-07-24

Qdabra Forms 11.13 FV 11.13 · FD 5.13

• Query Restrictions
  • New Anonymous Forms enforcement mode: Query Restrictions can now apply only to forms that allow anonymous access, bounding what anonymous users can reach without requiring allow rules for every form in the site. Within an anonymous-enabled form, authenticated and anonymous users see identical enforcement, so administrators can verify their rules simply by opening the form.
  • The Enforcement setting on the Query Restrictions page is now a three-way choice: Off, All Forms, or Anonymous Forms.
• Security
  • Fixed a Query Restrictions enforcement bypass in which a rule granting only Read access could be tricked into authorizing write or delete operations through HTTP method-override headers. Overrides are now honored only where SharePoint itself honors them.
  • Removed unused scanner and custom-proxy pages that contained cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
• DBXL Connections
  • Forms opened anonymously can now work with DBXL data connections when the DBXL document type allows anonymous users. FormsViewer identifies these sessions to DBXL with a secure signed token, and access stays limited to the form's own organization. Requires the latest version of DBXL and client credentials configured on the Manage DBXL Instances page.
• qRules
  • LoadResource now reports an error when the requested resource file does not exist in the template. (A regression introduced in 11.12 caused it to report success without loading anything.)
  • LoadResource now reports a command error when a loaded script file contains a syntax error, instead of reporting success. (Long-standing issue.)

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed rich text fields being added or updated incorrectly in list forms created or published with FormsDesigner, which caused FormsViewer to display raw HTML markup instead of formatted content.
  • Fixed an issue where a Query rule action could not be added when the main data connection was the form's only queryable data source (for example, list forms with no secondary data connections). Existing Query actions were unaffected.

2026-07-14

Qdabra Forms 11.12 FV 11.12 · FD 5.12

• New Feature: Query Restrictions
  • Administrators can now restrict which data connections forms are allowed to query. A new Query Restrictions settings page defines Allow Rules per connection type.
  • An Enforcement mode setting turns enforcement on for a site's forms; it is Off by default, so existing forms are unaffected until a form admin enables it.
  • Requests that do not match an allow rule are blocked. Form admins see the denial reason during form testing, to ease debugging.
• Security
  • Performed multiple extensive security audits and addressed findings.
  • Form sessions now carry an anti-spoofing token that ties requests to the opened form template, guarding against unauthorized queries. Tokens are limited to the session lifetime and refresh automatically during long-running sessions.
  • Form data connection requests made through the server are now limited to http and https; on the public cloud service, requests to internal and private network addresses are also blocked (a new PreventLocalWeb setting, off by default on-premise so internal data connections keep working).
  • When a form is closed, the "Source" return URL is now honored only when it is same-origin with FormsViewer or within the current SharePoint site; other targets are ignored (open-redirect protection).
  • Removed JSONP support; API requests with a JSONP callback parameter now receive a 400 response.
  • Fixed cross-site scripting issues: dangerous URL schemes (such as javascript:) are now blocked in the form-close "Source" URL, and template names are safely encoded on the View page.
  • Hardened XML processing against XXE attacks across FormsViewer and the PDF service.
  • Hardened PDF rendering: network access during rendering is restricted, and script execution in template XSLT is disabled.
  • Closed authorization gaps: credential Instance APIs and template draft operations now require admin rights, unauthenticated credential-set deletion is no longer possible, and the unused anonymous ScanForm endpoint was removed.
  • Anonymous form sessions can no longer read a template's file contents after an administrator turns off anonymous access for that template.
  • Fixed path-traversal issues in template file handling, including XSN write/delete folder containment, filename sanitization, and containment checks when extracting form templates.
• DBXL Connectors
  • New page for specifying associated DBXL instances. Enables Client Secret-based communication with DBXL.
• qRules
  • SaveToSharePoint no longer attempts to use SharePoint's Copy.asmx web service when the /dsnamews parameter is specified. The /dsnamews and /dsurl parameters are now deprecated and ignored if specified.
• Performance
  • Forms that display many images now load them in parallel instead of one at a time, improving load times for image-heavy forms.
  • Administrator permission checks are now cached, reducing repeated SharePoint lookups and improving responsiveness across form sessions, administrative operations, and management pages.
• Bug Fixes
  • List forms now show the actual error when the initial list item query fails, instead of a generic "unexpected error" popup.
  • PDFs rendered with /useactualview no longer include the wait-animation overlay.
  • Fixed layout problems in the Email Configuration documentation page.
  • Fixed inconsistent button styling on the Manage Credentials page.
  • Fixed rarely-occurring issue with view renders failing after a server restart.
  • Version history for append-type (History) fields whose internal names contain underscores now populates correctly.

• List Forms
  • Required rich text, person, and multiple-selection choice fields are now correctly recognized.
• Bug Fixes
  • InfoPath Designer-created view content for "Append Changes to Existing Text" (History) sections was corrupted when editing form.
  • Removed the Lookup field option from the Add Field modal (incorrectly added in 5.11).

2026-06-26

  • Edit existing qRules commands in the Command Builder; current text is automatically parsed into the builder.
• Bug Fixes
  • The "Add Item" widget now resizes correctly when the repeating section is resized.
  • External links in the XTP instructions panel open in a new tab.
  • Various other fixes for improved stability.
