Full Changelog: https://github.com/node-opcua/node-opcua/compare/v2.124.0...v2.125.0

What's changed:

Version 2.124.0 of our software introduces significant enhancements to the client automatic reconnection mechanism

• Client and Server Enhancements: Enhancements were made in reconnection logic and secure channel management, providing a more robust handling of network instabilities and secure communications.
• New Server Features: We introduced features like setNextSubscriptionId() to align with open62541 behavior (subcriptionId counting from 1)
• Maintenance and Debugging: We refined debugging outputs, adjusted test timings, and improved error handling across the system, enhancing both performance and developer experience.
• Bug Fixes: Notable bug fixes ensure correct behavior in data handling and client-server interactions, particularly in edge cases of network failures and reconnections.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• [0fb5fcf854] Fixed an issue where getters with ExtensionObject were not exposing the correct dataValue statusCode, ensuring data integrity and accurate reporting.
• [e6b944d3ae] Ensured nodeVersion operates properly when a node belongs to a custom namespace, maintaining namespace integrity.
• [ac7fd1a645] Corrected the raiseEvent method signature in TypeScript, aligning it with expected type definitions.

Security Updates

• [86d137bc51] Fixed vulnerabilities in packages/node-opcua-local-discovery-server/Dockerfile by upgrading dependencies to address security concerns highlighted by Snyk (Vulnerability 1, Vulnerability 2).

✨ Enhancements

• [5d34b30761] Improved secure channel recreation, enhancing the stability and reliability of secure connections.
• [6fb0c97b2b] Enhanced the reconnection workbench, optimizing the reconnection process under various network conditions.
• [2590d1aade] Client: Refined handling of reconnection edge cases, including server disconnections and network failures during ongoing reconnection attempts.
• [7329295a3c] findEndpoint now uses the same connection strategy as the parent OPCUAClient, harmonizing connection behaviors across the client.
• [3e1e4a5230] File-transfer: Exposed nodeId and async browseName, enhancing file handling capabilities in the client.
• [38caa350d9] Improved reconnection logic to provide smoother client-server interactions during network instability.
• [5ac2ae0ff6] Updated createMonitoredItemsLimit to avoid using maxMonitoredItemsPerCall=0, optimizing monitoring efficiency.

🛠 Maintenance and Refinements

• [a945169bf7] Adjusted test timing to better reflect real-world operational conditions.
• [f0a57b2985] Enhanced communication debug trace, offering more detailed diagnostic capabilities.
• [67ea74d5ab] Traced connection closure events, improving monitoring and troubleshooting of disconnections.
• [ab393f2148] Server: Added setNextSubscriptionId() to imitate open62541 behavior, enhancing subscription management capabilities.

What's Changed

• In this release, we've resolved a persistent issue in the OPCUA Client interface that led to premature disconnections or problems with security token renewal when there was a significant time discrepancy between the client and server clocks. Now, the OPCUA Client utilizes its own time, captured when the OpenSecurityChannelResponse is received, instead of relying on the server's time to calculate the security token's lifetime expiration. Additionally, it will display a warning in the console [NODE-OPCUA-W33] if there's a notable time difference between the server's time and the local time on the computer where the OPCUA client is running. This enhancement aims to make it easier to identify servers with time synchronization issues (#1349) (#1351).
  🎉 Special kudo to EirikVea for nailing the root cause.

the warning message looks like:
`

[NODE-OPCUA-W33]  client : server token creation date exposes a time discrepancy of 10 minutes 23 seconds
                  the remote server clock doesn't match this computer date !
                  please check both server and client clocks are properly set .
                  server time:  2024-03-17 10:20:30.300Z
                  client time:   2024-03-17 10:30:53.300Z
                  server URL = opc.tcp.//mydevice:4840

• Furthermore, we've incorporated the Aes256_Sha256_RsaPss security policy in this version, completing our transition to the OPC UA 1.05 security profiles by setting Aes256_Sha256_RsaPss as the default. We have also removed the Basic128Rsa15 and Basic256 security policies from the server's default policies. However, these can be reactivated, if necessary, by specifying the securityPolicies parameter in the OPCUA Server constructor. (#1348)

Default policies used if securityPolicies is not specified:

• We reintroduced PKCS1 padding (Issue #1347), which was previously removed in version 2.122.0, due to Node.js discontinuing support for PKCS padding with private key encryption. However, this reintroduction comes with a caveat for users of Node.js versions newer than 18.11.1 or NodeJS > 20.11.1. To enable PKCS1 padding, you must include the argument --security-revert=CVE-2023-46809 when running the Node.js executable. This step reverses a security fix in Node.js, allowing PKCS1 padding to function. Failure to apply this workaround may result in connectivity issues between the Client and Server when interacting with devices that still utilize the now-deprecated 128Rsa15 security policy for channel or user token encryption.

• We found out that the recent version of NodeJS now emits an AggregateError instead of a Error on windows when multiple network cards are present, causing the connection mechanism to struggle, this only affects Node 20.11.1 on windows as far as we are aware [b4ff2588ba]

details

🐛 Bug Fixes

• [cd9dcb0474] Fix crawler has throw error if the object does not contain displayName or description #1343
• [b4ff2588ba] Fix error message of AggregateError generated by Node.js 20.11.1 on Windows when connection is refused

• [31af8b26b5] Server: Adjust default security policies - add Aes256_Sha256_RsaPss in default security policies and remove deprecated Basic128Rsa15 and Basic256 from default security policies

• [28efd1a274] Now print time drift statistic to ClientSecureChannelLayer#toString
  [92dd8db924] Display warning when the nodejs --security-revert=CVE-2023-46809 command line option needs to be used to allow legacy Basic192Rsa15 encryption and server ( in 20.11.1 and 18.11.1 onward)

What's Changed

🚨 Security update

• OPCUAClient now avoids selecting deprecated security policy while choosing user identity token #1344

For instance, when OPCUAClient encounters multiple identity token policyId for the same tokenType, the OPCUClient will select the policyId that provides the most robust encryption method. It will also avoid using Basic192RSA15, which is now deprecated in NodeJS 20.11.1 onward, to fix CVE-2023-46809.
