Last Modified: Jun 19, 2025

Affected Product(s):
APM-Clients APM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
7.2.1.3, 7.2.1.4, 7.2.1.5, 7.2.2, 7.2.2.1, 7.2.2.2, 7.2.3, 7.2.3.1, 7.2.4, 7.2.4.2, 7.2.4.3, 7.2.4.4, 7.2.4.5, 7.2.4.6, 7.2.4.7, 7.2.4.8, 7.2.5

Opened: May 30, 2022

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Launched applications may fail as the parameters will be truncated at the first occurrence of '&' (a pop-up window will show the truncated parameters).

Impact

Launched application may fail.

Conditions

Network Access Resource Launch Application feature with '&' characters (either static parameters or inside session variables).

Workaround

If Launch application is related to drive mapping (e.g., Application launch is equivalent to "net use X: param1 param2 etc."), Network Access built-in feature of "Drive Mappings" can be used (this feature automatically uses same credentials that were used to authenticate with APM for back-end drive mapping SSO).

Fix Information

None
