Security Patch to address CVE-2021-44228 and CVE-2021-45046

As of December 2021, the Nuix Engine and Nuix RESTful Service have been patched to address a reported vulnerability in third-party software, Apache Log4j. Nuix recommends that you update your environment as soon as possible.

Nuix Engine

Nuix RESTful Service has been updated to use version 9.2 of the Nuix Engine. Details about what is included with this update can be found in the v9.2 changelog.

Nuix Developer Documentation

Nuix is proud to announce the introduction of the Nuix Developer Portal as a new source for online based Nuix SDK developer documentation.

Promote to Nuix Discover®

Nuix RESTful Service now supports the ability to export items from a Nuix case directly to an existing Nuix Discover SaaS case using the new Promote to Nuix Discover endpoint

/cases/{caseId}/promoteToDiscover/{discoverCaseId}

With this endpoint, users can promote a subset of discoverable items to an existing Nuix Discover SaaS case for further analysis, review, and production.

Access

The /authenticatedUsers/login endpoint has been updated to now accept both US and UK spellings of the licenseShortName parameter. Accepted parameter spellings include:

  • licenseShortName - (US)
  • licenceShortName - (UK)

Processing

The default values associated with the ProcessorSettings parameter have been updated to match the current version of the Nuix Engine.

General Enhancements

The Dnuix.executor.threads system property has been removed from the default startup java options used by Nuix RESTful service.

Resolved Issues

  • Nuix RESTful Service no longer sets a system path variable for the Nuix Engine in Windows based installations. This modification allows multiple instances of the Nuix Engine to coexist on the same machine.
  • Instances where source evidence is missing or has been removed from a case are now indicated with the correct error message.
  • An issue has been resolved that caused a null pointer exception to occur when making calls to the /cases/{caseId}/thumbnails endpoint.
  • Nuix Server has been added as a valid Nuix license type that can be consumed by Nuix RESTful Service.
  • Accessing the API Swagger documentation at http://<serverName>:8080/nuix-restful-service/svc/docs no longer causes a 401 Unauthorized Error due to a jsessionid being appended to the URL after redirect.
  • Custom processing profiles are no longer ignored and replaced with default processing settings when using the Nuix Scripting API.
