# PingCentral 2.3 (April 2025)

## FIPS-compliant mode now available

New PASS-7036

Administrators can now enable PingCentral to run in FIPS-compliant mode, which guarantees that all cryptographic algorithms and protocols meet the U.S. federal standard for security compliance.

To enable this option, access the `<PingCentral_install>/conf/application.properties` file and set the `pingcentral.fips.enabled` property value to `true`. Learn more in [Configuring PingCentral to run in FIPS-compliant mode](../pingcentral_for_iam_administrators/pingcentral_installing_configuring/pingcentral_fips_mode.html).

PingCentral is currently running FIPS 140-3. Learn more about this version in [FIPS 140-3](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/fips/140-3/final).

## Spring Security upgrade

Improved PASS-7022

Spring Security has been upgraded from version 5.3.31 to 5.3.39 to prevent future false-positive scan alerts. You can find more information in [CVE-2024-38816: Path traversal vulnerability in functional web frameworks](https://spring.io/security/cve-2024-38816^) in the Spring documentation.

## d3-color upgrade

Improved PASS-7031

The d3-color package has been upgraded from version 1.4.1 to 3.1.0, where the security vulnerability was fixed.

## Promotion approval requests enhanced

Improved PASS-7033

Those who approve promotions can now determine if a promotion approval request is for a new or existing application by viewing the newly added detail on the **Promotion Approvals** page. **Last Promoted** or **Last Updated** now displays next to the date and timestamp that indicates when the application was last promoted or updated.

## Updated scripts

Improved PASS-7037

All PingCentral scripts have been updated to be DevOps-friendly.

## JDK 21 support added

New PASS-7038

Support was added for Java Development Kit (JDK) 21 using language level 11.
