Magento Open Source 2.3.1 Release Notes

Release notes published on March 26, 2019 and last edited on June 3, 2020.

We are pleased to present Magento Open Source 2.3.1. This release includes over 200 functional fixes to the core product, over 500 pull requests contributed by the community, and over 30 security enhancements.

This release includes significant contributions from our community members. These contributions range from minor clean-up of core code to the development of substantial features such as Inventory Management and GraphQL. Although code for these features is bundled with quarterly releases of the Magento core code, several of these projects (for example, Page Builder and Progressive Web Applications (PWA) Studio) are also released independently. Bug fixes for these projects are not documented in these core release notes but in separate project-specific sets of notes.

Apply updated hot fix for CVE-2019-8118

The patch addresses an issue with CVE-2019-8118 that was included in Magento 2.3.3 and 2.2.10. While the original fix for that bug stopped the logging of failed login attempts, information collected prior to updating to these current versions may still exist, and previous, unpatched versions of Magento may still have this issue. This hotfix includes both a patch (first released in Oct 2019) that stops the logging of failed login attempts and a new script that clears the login attempts that were previously collected. We recommend that all merchants download and apply this patch and download and run the clean-up script. See Remove failed login attempts from the database for information on how to download and run the patch and clean-up script.

Apply patch PRODSECBUG-2233 to address critical remote code execution vulnerability (RCE)

An unauthenticated cross-site scripting vulnerability combined with an authenticated Phar deserialization vulnerability has left this version of Magento Open Source open to serious exploit. An attacker can use these vulnerabilities to inject JavaScript into the Admin and subsequently launch malicious code in a store user’s browser. We strongly recommend that all users of the affected versions of Magento download and apply the appropriate patch as soon as possible. This issue and the available patches are discussed in the Extending the June 25 Security Update to Older Versions of Magento blog post. Locate the patch by the name. We provide Git-based and Composer-based patches.

Apply the Scope parameter for Async/Bulk API patch to address an issue with the Async/Bulk REST API

In certain versions of Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce, the Asynchronous and Bulk REST endpoints support the default store view scope only. After this patch is applied to deployments running those versions of Magento, the current Magento message queue implementation will factor in the store that executes queue operations. See Patch for Magento Framework Message Queue and Store Scopes for a full discussion of this scope-related issue and patch contents. See Applying patches for specific instructions on downloading and applying Magento patches. To apply the patch, navigate to the Magento Security Center, and select the patch associated with the version of Magento you are running.

Apply the PRODSECBUG-2198 patch to address critical SQL injection vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in 2.3.x Magento code. A fix for this issue is included in Magento 2.3.1. If you cannot immediately apply the full patch, you can quickly protect your store from this vulnerability by installing patch PRODSECBUG-2198. However, we strongly encourage all merchants to stay up-to-date on security patches. See the description of PRODSECBUG-2198 in the Magento Security Center for information on this vulnerability.

Follow these steps to download and apply this patch:

1. Access My Account.
2. Navigate to the Downloads tab. Select the Magento edition and version you need.
3. Select Support Patches and Security Patches, then PRODSECBUG-2198.
4. Download the patch and upload to a specific directory in your Magento installation such as m2-hotfixes (confirm that the directory is not accessible publicly).
5. From your project root, apply the patch. git apply ./m2-hotfixes/<patch-file-name>.
6. Refresh the cache from the Admin (System > Cache Management).

PayPal Payflow Pro active carding activity update

The PayPal Payflow Pro integration in Magento is being actively targeted by carding activity. To resolve these carding activity issues, Magento has provided Composer packages that add an option for Google reCAPTCHA and CAPTCHA to the Payflow Pro checkout form. See PayPal Payflow Pro active carding activity for a full discussion of this issue and instructions on downloading these packages. We strongly recommend that all Payflow Pro merchants download and install these packages to help enhance the security of their storefronts.

Apply the Admin Dashboard Image-Charts patch to address deprecation of Google Image Charts

Magento 2.x currently uses Google Image Charts to render static charts in Admin dashboards. Google stopped supporting Google Image Charts on March 14, 2019, and Magento is providing the Admin Dashboard Image-Charts patch to replace Google Image Charts with the Image-Charts free service. Users of Magento 2.x deployments will not be able to view static charts in Magento 2.x instances unless they download and apply this patch.

See Switch from deprecated Google Image Charts to Image-Charts for Magento for information on downloading and applying this patch.

Highlights

Look for the following highlights in this release:

Merchant tool enhancements

Improved order creation workflow in the Admin

The Admin order creation workflow has been refactored to eliminate delays when editing billing and shipping addresses. Processing of these fields now happens only after they are populated.

Ability to upload PDP images without compression and downsizing

Merchants can now upload PDP images larger than 1920 x 1200 without first compressing and downsizing the images. Previously, when a merchant uploaded a high quality product image (larger than 1920 x 1200), Magento resized and compressed the image. Merchants can now set requirements for resizing and compression as well as compression quality and target width and height.

Inventory Management 1.1.0 (Community-developed feature!)

The Magento Inventory (was MSI) community project has added multiple new features to this release of Inventory Management. See Inventory Management Release Notes for information about specific fixes and acknowledgements to community contributors.

• Support for Elasticsearch and Inventory Management. All site searches now return correct products and quantities when Elasticsearch is used as the search engine. (As of this release, only default option from 2.3+) Searches return results from stock assigned to the website. Advanced features are supported, including filtering search results. Community-developed feature!

• Distance Priority Source Selection algorithm (SSA) option. Merchants can enable this algorithm to reduce fulfillment costs by shipping orders from the closest inventory locations. This SSA option uses address geocoding through the Google Maps API to calculate the shortest distance for deliveries. See Manage source selection algorithms.

• Enhancements to mass inventory transfers. Bulk transfer of inventory has been optimized to improve processing speed and to reduce locking during transfers.

Improved developer experience

Progressive Web Apps (PWA) Studio

PWA Studio is a set of developer tools that allow you to develop, deploy, and maintain a PWA storefront on top of Magento 2.x. See Magento PWA Documentation.

GraphQL

Community contributions for this release include major additions to cart actions (create cart, populate cart, set shipping address) and customers (create customer account). See Release Notes for information about specific fixes and acknowledgements to community contributors.

Substantial security enhancements

This release includes over 30 security enhancements that help close cross-site scripting, arbitrary code execution, and sensitive data disclosure vulnerabilities as well as other security issues. No confirmed attacks related to these issues have occurred to date. However, certain vulnerabilities can potentially be exploited to access customer information or take over administrator sessions. See Magento Security Center for a comprehensive discussion of these issues. All exploitable security issues fixed in this release (2.3.1) have been ported to 2.2.8, 2.1.17, 1.14.4.1, and 1.9.4.1, as appropriate.

Performance boosts

• Customer address handling has been rewritten with UI components that increase platform performance, which in turn streamlines the management of customers with 3000 and more addresses.

• The Admin order creation page now handles customer accounts with 3000 addresses without performance issues.

• Magento now displays the list of additional customer addresses contained in the storefront customer address book as a grid, which has improved performance for customers with many additional addresses associated with their accounts. Address Book describes how to use this enhanced feature.

• The shipping and billing data that a user enters during checkout now persists if the user interrupts checkout to continue shopping. Previously, checkout data was deleted after a cart update.

Infrastructure improvements

Infrastructure improvements are core enhancements that underlie both merchant and developer features.

• This release includes a new Authorize.Net extension to replace the Authorize.Net Direct Post module, which implemented an MD5-based hash that Authorize.Net will no longer support as of June 28, 2019. See Authorize.Net for information on configuring and using this new extension. Information about the deprecation of Authorize.Net Direct Post can be found here. Note that Magento released a patch in late February to address this issue on pre-2.3.1 installations of Magento, which is discussed in Update Authorize.Net Direct Post from MD5 to SHA-512.

• Accept.js library is now used for Authorize.NET payments.

• Magento now supports Elasticsearch 6.x. Fix submitted by community member Romain Ruaud in pull request 21458. Thank you, Romain!

• Update PayPal Express Checkout to checkout.js v4. This introduces a modernized checkout flow, faster checkout performance, and new payment options in a single integration that does not have to be updated as new payment methods become available. It also unlocks new payment options including Venmo and PayPal Credit. See PayPal Express Checkout.

• Magento now supports Redis 5.0.

• Magento support for PHP has changed slightly as a result of expanding our Elasticsearch support in this release. Magento 2.3.1 is compatible with PHP 7.2.x and certified on PHP 7.2.11.

• You can now isolate and extract MySQL Views from regular database tables with no negative effects on database backup and restoration. Support for MySQL Views was introduced in 2.3.0 with unexpected consequences to the default database backups and restore mechanism. This fix restores expected backup and restore functionality while preserving MySQL View support the backward compatibility with legacy inventory. Fix submitted by community member Stepan Furman in pull request 21151. Thank you, Stepan!

• Magento now uses version 6.0 of the DHL XML Services schema for the DHL shipping method. *

• Checkout information now persists after a cart update. Information previously entered by a customer during check out (such as shipping address) now persists after the customer updates their shopping cart. Previously, when a customer updated their shopping cart, all information previously entered during check out (such as shipping address) was deleted.

• Upgrade of Magento Functional Test Framework (MFTF) to 2.3.13.

Bundled extension enhancements

This release of Magento includes extensions developed by third-party vendors.

Amazon Pay

• Added multi-currency support for EU and U.K. merchants. See Use multi-currency for an introduction to using this new feature with Magento 2.x.

dotdigital Engagement Cloud (formerly dotmailer)

• dotmailer has been rebranded as dotdigital Engagement Cloud.

Magento Shipping

New features for Magento 2.3.1 include:

• Shipment Cancellation. You can now cancel a shipment that has not yet been dispatched by accessing the shipment and clicking Cancel Shipment.

• Portal Access via Magento. You can now access the Magento Shipping portal directly from Magento using the Magento Shipping credentials that are stored in your Magento instance.

Enhancements to existing features include:

• Multiple improvements to the Shipment workflow user experience.

Fixed issues

We’ve fixed hundreds of issues in the Magento 2.3.1 core code.

Installation, upgrade, deployment

• Magento now sets the id_prefix option on prefix cache keys for the cache frontend during installation. If this option is not set, Magento uses the first 12 bits of the md5 hash of the absolute path to the Magento app/etc directory. But if this value is not exactly the same on all web servers, cache invalidation will not work. Fix submitted by Fabian Schmengler in pull request 18641. GitHub-15828

Previously, after this command was run, administrators were not able to change the configuration for the default store, but could still change it for other scopes. Fix submitted by Mahesh Singh in pull request 19880. GitHub-19609

• Magento now skips disabled modules when compiling static content. Fix submitted by Shikha Mishra in pull request 19751. GitHub-19605

• The Allow Dynamic Media URLs in Products and Categories configuration setting, which was previously accessed from Stores > Configuration > Catalog > Storefront, has been removed. The Use Static URLs for Media Content in WYSIWYG setting (Stores > Configuration > General > Content management > WYSIWYG Options) now applies to any media URLs that are entered through the WYSIWYG editor.

Analytics

• You can now save configuration from the Admin > Stores > Configuration > General > Advanced Reporting without providing an industry value. Previously, Magento did not save configuration settings, and displayed this error: Please select a vertical. Fix submitted by Pratik Oza in pull request 18782. GitHub-15259

Authorization

• You can now successfully save a role from the Admin. Previously, when you saved a role from the Admin, Magento removed all users from the role (no matter which checkbox was checked), and displayed this message: This user has no tokens.

Backend

• CustomerRepository::getList() now loads custom attributes named company. Fix submitted by Tegan Elizabeth Bold in pull request 19620. GitHub-17759

• The Reload Data button on the Admin now works as expected. Fix submitted by Eduard Chitoraga in pull request 20803. GitHub-20802

Bundle

• Bundle special prices are now correctly rounded when you load and resave a bundle product. Previously, when you reloaded a bundle with a special price that requires four positions after the decimal (for example, 78,9473), Magento rounded the price to two decimal places. Fix submitted by p-bystritsky in pull request 18987. GitHub-17638

• The Bundle Product Option Repository Delete method now removes the correct option. Previously, it removed the first option, regardless of the optionId that was specified. Fix submitted by Burlacu Vasilii in pull request 19027. GitHub-18979

• Magento now maintains the correct base price for a bundle product when you add a bundle product in one currency and then add the same bundle product option in a different currency. Previously, when you added the same bundle product option in a different currency, Magento doubled the base price.

• Bundle product SKUs are now built based on the order of the associated (selected) product ID numbers in ascending order. Previously, SKUs were built based on the order of the selected product ID numbers in ascending order instead of the order in which the option is added to the bundle product. GitHub-14262

• Magento now adds all selected values to the cart when a customer adds a bundle product option with input type checkbox. Previously, if a bundle product had three values, Magento added only two options to the cart. Fix submitted by Mahesh Singh in pull request 19261 and pull request 19437. GitHub-19205

• Fixed inconsistently sized title box border on the edit bundle product page when adding an item to a bundle product from the Admin. Fix submitted by Abrar Pathan in pull request 19510. GitHub-19509

CAPTCHA

• CAPTCHA now appears as expected in the Log in pop-up window.

Cart and checkout

• Magento now displays a product’s special price on the storefront, product listings, and product detail page as expected when the special price is 0.00.

• Magento no longer removes the billing and shipping address information for an order when a customer cancels an order by clicking Cancel and Return when using PayPal Website Payments Pro Hosted Solution. Previously, when a customer placed an order and then clicked the Cancel and Return link, Magento removed the billing/shipping address and displayed an error.

• After a session expires, and a customer refreshes the page, Magento displays an empty shopping cart and logs out the customer as expected. Previously, Magento displayed an empty shopping cart but the mini cart still displayed the selected items, and if the customer refreshed the page again, the shopping cart displayed the items.

• Attribute indexing no longer ignores custom source model options, and the attributes associated with a custom source model were not parsed when products were filtered. Previously, when Magento indexed the attribute values used for the product filters in the category overview, it indexed only multiselect attributes that used attribute options. If a custom source model was specified, Magento did not index its values, which were consequently not taken into account when products were filtered. Fix submitted by Joel Rainwater in pull request 19176. GitHub-417

Previously, if no value was explicitly assigned, Magento did not save the custom attribute with any value. Fix submitted by Malyovanets Nickolas in pull request 19341. GitHub-14510

• CategoryLinkReposity now lists all possible exceptions. Fix submitted by Patrick McLain in pull request 20050. GitHub-20037

Fix submitted by Hiren Patel in pull request 20913. GitHub-18525

Fix submitted by gmachure in pull request 19249. GitHub-19247

GitHub-17680

• Corrected invalid return type in docblock in Magento\Framework\HTTP\PhpEnvironment\Request::getHeader(). Previously, the docblock of the Magento\Framework\HTTP\PhpEnvironment\Request::getHeader() method stated that it would return a bool or an instance of Zend\Http\Header\HeaderInterface(). However, this method returned either a bool or a string. Fix submitted by Milind Singh in pull request 21035. GitHub-21034

• Magento now throws LogicException($message, 0, $e) instead of LogicException($message) as needed when running validation for communication configuration (communication.xml).

Fix submitted by Pratik Oza in pull request 18204. GitHub-17567

• Magento now correctly renders apostrophes as entered in text fields.

• WYSIWYG editor functionality is now available in all rows of the dynamic rows UI component. Previously, this functionality was available in the first row only.

• Usage of unsupported includes has been removed. Previously, when you chose a user to edit on the customers grid, Magento installations running on Internet Explorer 11.x did not load the expected page, but instead displayed this message: object does not support method includes. Fix submitted by Oleksandr Miroshnichenko in pull request 19010. GitHub-18562

URL rewrites

• The storefront now properly displays the order of categories when you move categories in the Admin.

• Product URLs are now based on the configuration information from the Admin, not the order of records in the database. Previously, the order of records in the database affected the generated URL, and some products showed category paths for product URLS when Use Categories Path for Product URLs was set to no.

• The import process now retains permanent redirects for outdated product URLs as expected. Previously, the import process removed these redirects, and when you tried to open the changed product by the old URL key, Magento displayed a 404 page. Fix submitted by Ankur in pull request 20344. GitHub-20282

VAT

Web API

• The response for GET V1/orders/:orderId now contains bundle_option and product_option information as expected.

Wishlist

• Magento no longer retains entries for deleted products in the database wishlist_item_option table.

• You can now add a configurable product with no options to a gift registry from a wishlist.

• Pagination controls on the wishlist page have been restored. Fix submitted by Ratnesh Kumar in pull request 19305. GitHub-19292

Known issues

Issue: The Web Setup Wizard is not available from the Admin under these conditions:

• base URLs are set to HTTP.

• Use Secure URLs in Admin is set to on.

• HTTPS is disabled.

Workaround: You must enable HSTS from Stores > General > Web > BaseUrls (Secure).

Issue: For Inventory Management, asynchronous migration of data between sources will encounter issues due to changes in Asynchronous APIs with topic names reflecting PHP class and method names. Workaround: We recommend using synchronous operations, setting Run asynchronously to “No”. To configure, see Configure Global Options in the Magento User Guide.

Issue: The CGI URL gateway in the UPS module has been updated from HTTP to HTTPS. Consequently, the UPS shipping method does not populate correctly. Workaround: Confirm that the Gateway URL uses the HTTPS protocol in the UPS Shipping Method Configuration.

Updating an existing setting:

If UPS Type is set to United Parcel Service in the UPS Shipping Method Configuration, you must manually change the protocol of the Gateway URL from HTTP to HTTPS. Example: https://www.ups.com/using/services/rave/qcostcgi.cgi

To configure UPS for the first time:

• Navigate to Stores  > Settings  > Configuration  >  Sales  > Shipping Methods. Then, expand the UPS section.

• At the UPS Type field, clear the Use system value checkbox. Then, change UPS Type to United Parcel Service XML. The Gateway URL populates correctly when this value is selected.

• Tap Save Config.

Issue: The Async/Bulk Web APIs support only the default store view. A hot fix for this issue will be available in the near future. This issue has been resolved with the Scope parameter for Async/Bulk API patch, which is now available. See Patch for Magento Framework Message Queue and Store Scopes for a full discussion of this scope-related issue and patch contents.

Issue: You cannot use the Magento Extension Manager to install extensions purchased from the Commerce Marketplace. Workaround: Install extensions from the command line as described in General CLI installation. See Extension Manager shows no extensions in Adobe Commerce 2.3.x.
