 New My Esri Help Center 

• My Esri will now have extended help for users through a new guided experience that utilizes the third party Walkme solution. Users will have the ability to be onboarded through guided tours of My Esri and get assistance with common processes such as administering/managing licenses, inviting/granting user permissions for their organization, and downloading Esri software. The help experience is driven by a user's permission/language settings in My Esri and we plan to add more guided process assistance in upcoming releases (support, developer subscriptions). A blog that overviews the new My Esri help will be posted the evening of July 22nd that will include further information.

Licensing

• A 'Suspended" filter has been added to the ArcGIS Online information section to help users better organize subscriptions.

Security Issue in ArcGIS Server

Esri has discovered a critical vulnerability in the ArcGIS Server component of ArcGIS Enterprise resulting in a Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) issue when special steps are taken by someone with network access to the deployment. This can result in access to and control over other infrastructure resources by unauthenticated persons. 

This can affect any deployment depending on the infrastructure and configuration and all customers are urged to install the appropriate patch as soon as possible. There are known exploit vectors in Amazon Web Services (AWS) which makes this issue particularly urgent for those deployments.

This security issue affects all supported versions prior to ArcGIS Server 10.8 on both Windows and Linux. As an ArcGIS Enterprise customer, we are notifying you about this security vulnerability in addition to regular online notifications on our blog and security site at trust.arcgis.com.

What You Need to Do 
Patches for all versions of ArcGIS Server from 10.4 through 10.7.1 have been released. Esri strongly recommends installing the relevant patch at your earliest possible opportunity. ArcGIS Server 10.8 already contains these fixes and is not affected. 

All patches can be downloaded from the Esri Support website where more information is also available.

The ArcGIS Server Security 2020 Update 1 Patch is available for versions 10.4, 10.4.1, 10.5, 10.5.1, 10.6, 10.6.1, 10.7, and 10.7.1. 

You may also use the Patch Notification Tool to download and install the appropriate patch. Please see the software documentation for how to use this tool. Ensure that the patch is installed on all ArcGIS Server machines. 

More Information 
For more details, please refer to the knowledge base article.  
 
We also encourage you to subscribe to the RSS feed on trust.arcgis.com for future updates on this and other security issues. 

All,

We will be moving forward with a release of My Esri this Thursday March 12th, at 5pm (PST). Please see the below enhancements and fixes that will be included.

Thanks,

Josh

 My Esri Release Items

Manage Users

• When inviting a user to join an organization, the option to add then as an authorized caller is now available.
• When a user's access to My Esri is limited with a time range, they will now see a message 30 days before their access will end. The message lets them know who to contact if they want to extend their access. They can dismiss the message, but it will reappear after they sign in again in a new browser session.
• The issue where the User Permissions Grid could not be exported has been resolved.

Licensing

• Added a button on the License Esri Products page to use a License File Configuration.
• Added a form to the Convert ArcGIS Pro Named User Licenses for users to request to convert back to named users.
• Fixed an issue where notes were being removed in Authorization Numbers Details.
• Grouped duplicate items in ArcGIS Pro license files so they do not show as duplicates when installing the file.

Transactions

• Updated the Renew Maintenance Quotes page to exclude quotes where materials are marked as not eligible for online renewal.

Keeping track of your ArcGIS Online accounts has just been made a little easier on My Esri. We’ve added a View ArcGIS Online page to the Licensing tab.

From this page, you can select the ArcGIS Online accounts associated with your organization and see the remaining credits, activation and renewal dates, subscription type, and the overall status of the subscription. You can also keep track of the membership within the selected ArcGIS Online subscription and the available licenses associated with it.

The page is for viewing your organization’s ArcGIS Online subscriptions. Activating a subscription will still need to be done through ArcGIS Online. But, we have provided a link on this page that will let you link your ArcGIS accounts to make it simple to switch between My Esri and ArcGIS Online.

We will be moving forward with a release of My Esri on Wednesday, January 29th, at 5 pm (PST). Please see the below key enhancements and fixes that will be included.
