PingFederate Server

PingFederate 12.1.9 (September 2025)

Resolved issues

Admin console IP exposure

Security PF-33113

We’ve fixed a security vulnerability that could have allowed malicious parties to extract PingFederate administrative console IP addresses using HTTP Response headers.

Host header redirect

Security PF-37460

We’ve fixed a security vulnerability that could have allowed malicious parties to redirect PingFederate admin console traffic using a spoofed Host header.

Refresh token MySQL deadlocks

Fixed PF-35868

We’ve fixed a defect that caused multiple refresh token requests in short succession to result in Java database connectivity (JDBC) data source deadlocks and duplicated data entry into the database.

This change can cause significant performance issues if PingFederate or the JDBC data source has insufficient resources.

Unnecessary ID token reissued with secondary client secret

Fixed PF-37450

We’ve fixed a defect that caused the token endpoint to unnecessarily reissue an ID token when using a secondary client secret and an asymmetric algorithm for token signing and encryption.

Virtual hostname accuracy in email notifications

Fixed PF-37964

We’ve fixed a defect where a template variable incorrectly used the primary PingFederate base URL instead of the virtual hostname in some email notifications.

HTML flow login and Authentication API

Fixed PF-38039

We’ve fixed a defect that could potentially allow a user to access an HTML browser sign-on page when the Authentication API redirectless mode is used.
