NoMachine makes available new version 8 packages to include, among others, the patch released by X.Org which fixes CVE-2024-9632 and the OpenSSL patch for CVE-2024-9143. It also includes a fix for a possible exploitation of installation path on Windows to execute arbitrary code during the installation of the server.

A new server configuration key, EnableWebAutocomplete, has been introduced to disable the autocomplete of the Username field in the login form of web sessions. Additionally, this update provides a new command-line argument, --timeout <sec>, for custom scripts to allow admins to specify the desired value (in seconds) for the script completion timeout (by default 30s).

The list of trouble reports solved by this 8.15.3 release are:

TR10V11239 - Importing X.Org security patch for the xserver

Important Notice

In NoMachine version 8, UPnP/NAT-PMP is disabled by default in the Free Edition. To get access to your computer over the internet, NoMachine's UPnP/NAT-PMP port mapping must be enabled by hand ('Server settings -> Ports' -> Select the service and click on Configure); or alternatively, your router can be configured with the appropriate port-forwarding rule. When port-mapping/port-forwarding is enabled, remote NoMachine connections, including connection requests from guests via the Guest Desktop Sharing feature will be possible.
