This release includes a critical security update for Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance. BASIS strongly encourages their PRO/5, PRO/5 Data Server and Visual PRO/5 communities to upgrade to revision 18.0 as soon as possible.

Security
A potential vulnerability involving SSLv3, TLS1.0 and TLS1.1 protocols and the triple DES cipher have been disabled and are no longer available when using SSL. This change is required to be both Sarbanes-Oxley compliant and to meet the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) required for the acceptance, processing, and transmitting of cardholder data.
