I can't use "Widget Connector Macro" in Confluence since last week.

Question

Thank you for your support.

I have been useing Confluence.

Sometimes I use the "Widget Connector Macro".

But I haven't been able to use "Widget Connector Macro".

I think this Macro is default macro in Confluence(Ver.6.0.6).

Please someone teach me why this tool doesn't work.

Hey Ken!

Given the version of Confluence you are on, it's likely that an administrator disabled the macro to mitigate CVE-2019-3396 as described in our security advisory. The fix for this is upgrading Confluence to a recent version where the vulnerability is patched.

If you are curious on the timeline for your instance's upgrade, I would reach out to your Confluence server administrator.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Ken,

Thank you for reaching out! Happy to help.

Can you tell me more about in which way the macro isn't working? Any error messages, screenshots of the error, etc. will help.

You can also check the Confluence server logs when triggering the issue and let me know what error you receive.

Regards,

Shannon
