Fixed CVE-2021-44532 in TLS/node
The Chromium remote inspector is disabled by default on 8.5 release, even when it is enabled by roHtmlWidget enable_inspector flag, or roHtmlWidget.StartInspectorServer. An extra registry value has been added (”enable-web-inspector” in the “html” registry section) to enable the inspector. This ensures that users do not unintentionally enable the remote inspector on production software, which is not secure and may increase memory usage.
Chromium has dropped support for desktop style scrollbars. BrightSign OS 8.5 is shipped with overlay scrollbars. Overlay scrollbars overlay on graphics and are only displayed when a page is scrolled. They disappear when the page is still.
Chromium87 uses separate JavaScript contexts for data URLs. It is no longer possible to inject JavaScript from the data URL and access window context.
Data URLs no longer share the same URL domain with the origin domain. It is no longer possible to access cross site data from data URLs.
Chromium has added support to view remote device screen through inspector view. This is not supported on BrightSign devices due to architectural differences between desktop Chromium and BrightSign.
Chromium has added more stringent security policies around cross site requests. Some of these security options can be disabled if needed. But, unlike our security_params (roHtmlWidget | roHtmlWidget-[roAssociativeArray]security_params), these security options cannot be disabled per instance. We have added an “html” → “disable-web-security” registry option to disable these security checks. This change takes effect after a reboot.

Important Note
Warning: The data storage system in use by Chromium processes changes when there is a major upgrade to the Chromium version bundled with the BrightSign OS. While updating to a newer version of the OS is generally stable, there are cases where downgrading the OS can cause the data accessed by Chromium to be inaccessible. Other data not in use by Chromium that can be stored on SD, SSD, USB connected and external devices that contain media, systems files and other data do not share this limitation. Please be sure to test your workflow for any OS upgrades or downgrades before deploying to a production environment.
