Improvements

Better Handling of Password Manager Configurations

Previously, the settings for Monitoring Settings > ADVANCED > DISABLE BUILT-IN PASSWORD MANAGER OF KNOWN BROWSERS option is saved in Windows Registry:

This could interfere with Windows Group Policy.

We made changes so that the settings for the password managers will be handled by the Agent and not saved in the Windows Registry.

Windows Service Vulnerability Workaround

Due to Windows Unquoted Service Path vulnerability, Teramind Agent automatically puts the installation path in quotes if it has spaces in it. For example:

"C:\ProgramData\Teramind Agent\24.12.0\{6D99445F-F40F-45CB-B433-06302DAE6C70}\tmagentsvc.exe" –service

However, some customers might have an SSCM policy which might automatically quote the service path on the system. In some cases, it may cause the entire path to be quoted including the -service parameter. For example:

"C:\ProgramData\{4CEC2908-5CE4-48F0-A717-8FC833D8017A}\24.12.0\{92922548-5A57-4BA9-A131-EC66C45E820F}\svc.exe --service"

As a result, Windows Service Manager will not accept such a path and the Agent Service will fail to load.

We have introduced a fix to work around this vulnerability so that the Agent will work fine in case of such an SSCM policy.

Bug Fixes

.NET Dialog Shown During Agent Auto-Update

Due to a bug, sometimes Windows will show the user a dialogue box to install the .NET framework:

The bug is fixed now so that the dialogue box will not be shown.

Active User Shown as Idle

Due to a bug, sometimes an active user would be shown as idle on the Dashboard. In the example below, the user's Monitoring > Screen Snapshots report shows screen activity but the Productivity > Time Work report shows the time slot as idle:

The bug is fixed now.
