Neptune DXP - Open Edition 24.12.3 release notes

April 1, 2026

Upgrade notes

Starting with Neptune DXP - Open Edition version 24.14.1, a new environment variable SESSION_SECRET may be set. When upgrading from earlier versions (that is to say, versions before 24.14.1), you must explicitly set this environment variable during setup and ensure it is identical across all instances in multi-instance or scaled deployments. If not configured consistently, each instance will generate its own secret, which can lead to authentication failures (for example, users being unable to log in due to mismatched session cookies).

  • Upgraded Node.js binary to Node.js 22.22.2 to stay aligned with current development and security enhancements of Node.js

    Node.js upgrade from version 18 to version 22.22.2 in Neptune DXP - Open Edition

    The following information applies only when upgrading from Neptune DXP - Open Edition versions 24.11.0 or earlier. If you are already on Neptune DXP - Open Edition version 24.12.0, or above (that is to say, a Neptune DXP - Open Edition instance with a Node.js version higher than Node.js 18), these notes do not apply.

    • Remove node_sqlite3.node from the root directory before running the Neptune DXP - Open Edition executable. If not removed, Neptune DXP - Open Edition will not start.

    • Test your server script code in a QA system before upgrading your production system, as this patch might introduce breaking changes.

    • Follow the migration checklist here.

    While you can run any Node.js 22 version, Neptune recommends running the same version as your Neptune DXP - Open Edition instance.

Bug fixes

Authentication

  • Authentication now handles empty claim maps during claims assignment, preventing internal server errors.

  • Initial admin password reset now handles uninitialized reset tokens correctly.

  • LDAP authentication now correctly handles undefined user filters, preventing unintended retrieval of all users.
