RIPE Database 1.121.2 Release
by Edward Shryane 18 Mar '26

18 Mar '26

Dear colleagues, RIPE Database release 1.121.2 has just been released to the production environment. The only change from release 1.121.1 is a fix for a cross-site vulnerability affecting the Syncupdates service. We have removed support for the HTTP GET method in Syncupdates to update an object using a URL-encoded object. Now we only support the POST method. This helps to protect the RIPE database from Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) exploits, and the GET method was rarely used (the last update was in mid-January). We are following our internal Vulnerability Management policy remediation timelines and therefore not waiting for the normal release cycle. Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC
