Week of November 2, 2026

What shipped

Why it matters

This week closes three security issues in survey permissions, central participant data and quota actions, so administrators should update. It also adds a guard against editing data or starting a web database update while the hosting system backs up or runs the command-line update. Release 7.9.0+261029 is out, along with a redesigned survey structure panel and broader database coverage in the test suite.

This week's changes include three security fixes: survey permissions could be granted beyond the editor's own rights, the central participant database had a missing authorization check, and quota mass actions lacked permission checks for other surveys. Administrators can no longer edit data or start a web database update while the hosting system makes a backup or runs the command-line update. Release 7.9.0+261029 is published. The survey structure panel has been redesigned, and functional tests now run on PostgreSQL and MSSQL as well as MySQL.

Post for LinkedIn

This week's updates include three security fixes for stored cross-site scripting: in the central participant database, in question advanced settings, and via image file names in imported survey themes. Accessibility work also landed, with survey themes no longer forcing keyboard and screen reader users through the whole top menu before the questions, and fixes to the soft mandatory modal for keyboard answering and WCAG 1.3.1, 4.1.2 and hidden element access. Expressions on text answers containing quotes or curly braces now match between the same page and later pages, survey permissions have a select all checkbox again, prepared themes resolve inherited settings, and the new editor shows why saving or activation failed. Releases 7.7.0+261020 and 7.8.0+261026 shipped.
