Firewall Pro Release Notes

This page contains a list of Firewall Pro releases and a brief description of major changes per release.

Note that while we strive to fully document new features before releasing them to our Cloud environments, there may be occasional delays. In such instances, we will update this page with links to the relevant help documentation as soon as it becomes available.

Changes

Release Date

Features / Enhancements

  • Firewall Pro now removes references to blocked NuGet versions throughout registration metadata and routes page URLs through the proxy. This helps NuGet clients select the latest allowed version instead of attempting to retrieve a blocked version.

  • Firewall Pro now applies consistent component-name searches across the Recently Protected Components and Direct Request Blocks tables, including npm scopes and Maven coordinates. Search results, pagination totals, and CSV exports now use the same matching behavior.

September 22, 2026

Features / Enhancements

  • Sonatype Repository Firewall Pro now filters blocked and unknown NuGet package versions from registration metadata, so package managers only see versions that are available to install. This helps prevent installation errors and reduces confusion when selecting package versions.

August 18, 2026

Features / Enhancements

  • The Recently Protected Components table now includes numbered pagination and an items-per-page selector.

  • Firewall Pro now uses a shared definition for dashboard filtering across time range, ecosystem, Request IP, and component search criteria. This foundational update standardizes how dashboard filters are represented and validated, helping ensure that upcoming filtering enhancements provide a consistent experience across dashboard cards and supported ecosystems.

August 11, 2026

Features / Enhancements

  • The Recently Protected Components table now shows only components with versions filtered from metadata responses. Direct artifact blocks appear exclusively in Direct Request Blocks, eliminating duplicate and misleading entries.

August 4, 2026

Features / Enhancements

  • The Direct Request Blocks table on the dashboard now supports full pagination with numbered page controls and a configurable items-per-page selector.

  • Improved API token authentication reliability with a new reconciliation capability that rebuilds the token authentication cache from the authoritative database if it is ever lost or corrupted, ensuring uninterrupted access without manual intervention.

July 28, 2026

Features / Enhancements:

  • Updated the application to use direct server-side backend calls instead of API route proxies, reducing network overhead and simplifying request handling.

  • Optimized dashboard performance for large organizations.

July 21, 2026

Bug Fixes:

  • NEXUS-53574 – Telemetry events for blocked direct artifact requests are now processed correctly, allowing blocked requests to appear in the Direct Request Blocks dashboard.

  • NEXUS-53480 – Blocked component download attempts for npm, PyPI, Maven, and NuGet now appear in the Firewall Pro Direct Requests Blocked dashboard across all supported formats.

  • NEXUS-53477 – The Last Used field for Firewall Pro tokens now reflects the actual most recent usage date in the UI.

  • NEXUS-53096 – Signing in to Firewall Pro with GitHub, Microsoft, and other social identity providers now completes successfully, with authentication requests routed through the Auth0 custom domain so that OAuth redirect URIs match the registered callback URLs.
