Can't add images to a confluence page
Asked by xpt:

Not the same as <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-t-add-images-to-a-confluence-page/qaq-p/1844684>, here is my problem:

I'm a long time confluence user and I can add images to confluence pages by just copy and paste. However, in the brand new confluence space I just created hours ago, I just cannot do it out of the box.

When I copy an image and paste to the page I'm editing, I see "preview is not available" but the image size is correct. After I save the page, there is no sign/trace of the image that I just added.

> It can be a page restriction issue.
>
> Guide for these permissions check - <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-are-confluence-cloud-permissions-and-restrictions/>.

I checked it and my global (as I am admin), but didn't find anything related.

* I've been doing copy and paste images to confluence will all kinds of browsers, and never had any of them had any problems before with me.
* The same chrome browsers that I'm using now works for all other confluence sites, like the one for my company. In fact, I did copy and paste into my company's confluence just before this one.
* If pasting an image URL then I would see an image url first, then somewhat get changed later. Yet,
* When I copy an image and paste to the page I'm editing, confluence realize it is an image, set the image to its correct size, but only showing an image icon with "preview is not available" for the preview.
* I had seen confluence being misconfigured before, and such image preview symptom is exactly as what I saw before.
* Just to be 100% bullet proof of my point, I pasted the image to other places, like into my gmail message etc, they all show up correctly.

Is it because my Product plan is Free?

Please help.

body: [@xpt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3524400) Were are you copying the image from, your computer or the web? Have you tried pasting from both? What browser are you using? Have you tried other browsers? Do you have any browser plugins?

I have seen this when individuals have copied from the web and it is just pasting the image URL from the web and the web server is blocking you from displaying it. I have also seen this when there are browser plugins that are preventing the paste.

body: Thanks - copying \& pasting the image from both computer and the web does show the differences.

Atlassian critical vulnerable. Which version I need to update?
Asked by Tony Montana:

Hi. About vulnerable <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-security-advisory-2022-06-02-1130377146.html>

We have two server instances with confluence. 7.16.1 and 7.1.0. Expired license.

Which version do I need to download for fixed it and without buying new licenses?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You can upgrade to any version that was released before the end of your licences.

You will want to move to 7.13.7 (long term support) or 7.18.1 to fix this security problem.

comments: author: Tony Montana
body: And if license was ended?


author: Andy Heinzer
body: If your license is expired, then you cannot upgrade. But you still could try to follow the mitigation steps in the [security advisory](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-security-advisory-2022-06-02-1130377146.html) to protect yourself. **Note** : Confluence [End Of Life](https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/atlassian-support-end-of-life-policy-201851003.html) versions are not fully tested with the workaround.


author: Tony Montana
body: [@Andy Heinzer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/541137) This vulnerability is due to you. Why did we should pay for this update? Are you suggesting that we stop using Atlassian products?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, Atlassian is building their tech on top of other things. Almost everyone does. If those things are compromised, then you need those things to be fixed. You can't expect someone else who has built on it to fix it directly, they have no choice but to move on.

Atlassian is doing better than most suppliers of software here. They are supporting a range of versions of their software, and they have fixed the latest version.

If you choose to work with an old version, that's fine, but it is your choice to do so and you can't expect a vendor to support an old version that they have explicitly stated that they will not support because it is too old.

The vulnerability in this case does look to be an Atlassian problem, and they have fixed it for everyone who currently has a supported licence.

Answers:
author: Joseph Chung Yin
body: [@radium_l_fu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4036256) -

Do you still have valid license of your product? If so, you should be able to upgrade your product. In regards to your product version, if your license still valid, but your product version is not supported, then you will need to contact Atlassian Support (<https://support.atlassian.com>) for further assistance.

However, if your product is not licensed, then I don't believe you can apply the fixes to address the security alert mentioned in the link. It is because your license has expired.

Hope this helps.

Is there a way to restrict page creation access *without* restricting permissions to edit?
Asked by Madeline Gardner:

I would like to enforce a space-wide restriction for a particular group to prevent them from ***adding* new pages** within the space, but some of those users still need to be able to ***edit***existing pages. Any advice on how to go about that?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

No, there is no difference between "create" and "edit" in Confluence. I see that this is a bit counter-intuitive, but it does make sense - if someone can put whatever they want into an existing page, totally overwriting it all, what's the point stopping them creating their own page? Create and edit are pretty much the same thing in a wiki, there's no point restriting a person to one or the other.
CVE-2022-26134 for older versions (5.10.2)
Asked by Frank Warta:

I'm hoping for clarity on CVE-2022-26134, we're running a fairly old version (5.10.2) still and wondered if that version was also impacted by this exploit? Our instances is not available to the general internet and is firewalled off locally on our network.


Answers:
author: Andy Heinzer
body: Hi Frank,

If the Confluence instance cannot be accessed from the general internet, the risk of an exploit/attack originating from there is negated.

However, out of an abundance of caution, the guidance on the [Confluence Security Advisory page for CVE-2022-26134](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-security-advisory-2022-06-02-1130377146.html) still applies, even for these End of Life (EOL) versions.

Due to the critical nature of this vulnerability and the variety of ways in which instances can be accessed, please work with local network/security team(s) to determine if mitigation is needed.

CVE-2022-26134 and the fixed version
Asked by Patrick Opaco:

You mentioned in <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-security-advisory-2022-06-02-1130377146.html> that the fixed versions are:

body: Hi Patrick,

The release notes for 7.16.4 are linked on that page, <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/issues-resolved-in-7-16-4-1137639706.html>

You can also find the downloads and release notes within the [download archives page](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download-archives).

comments: author: Patrick Opaco
body: Also, just a clarifcation. The published fixed versions are as is where is:

* 7.13.7

* 7.14.3

* 7.15.2

* 7.16.4

* 7.17.4

* 7.18.1

The reason why I'm asking is because we have already tested 7.16.3 in our non-prod last week so it means that if we proceed to 7.16.3 for production today, this version **(7.16.3)**won't fix the critical security issue that Confluence raised and instead we should at least be at version 7.16.4.

Scheduled Page Refresh
Asked by Leona:

Hi,

I have a confluence page with lots of macros and Table Excerpt Includes. Because the page is so heavy, some macros timed out. I thought if the Table Excerpts are loaded twice a day and remained static throughout the day, my page would load faster?

If my theory is valid, how would I then go about scheduling the Table Excerpt to only load and refresh everyday at 5am and 12pm?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Leona](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4947997) Are you using page excerpts or are you using the following app for table excerpts? [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview\&from=documentation](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&from=documentation)

If you are using the app I was not able to find anything about scheduling information pulls in their documentation. I would suggest submitting a support issue here: <https://jsd.stiltsoft.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/2>

If you are using page excerpts then it pulls the information every time the page is loaded. I would suggest breaking your page up into subpages to prevent it from timing out.

comments: author: Leona
body: Hi [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) , thank you for the feedback. To clarify, I have two confluence pages, one I called "Raw Data" and is where all the Jira tables wrapped by Table Excerpts are located. The other confluence page I called "Programs" is where all the Table Excerpts Include wrapped by Table Transformers are located.

The thought is to set a schedule for the Raw Data page to refresh only twice a day, keeping the data static for most of the day. With Raw Data readily available, the Program page could pull from Raw Data without timing out.

Is there a way to schedule a page refresh for Raw Data page only once or twice a day? By the way, my company will update Confluence until the end of the year, for now, we do not have the Tool Box macro.

But I don't see it on your last screenshot - seems that you've got wrong tags and your hosting is not Cloud (then you'll have an up-to-date version of the app). For Server/Data Center the current version is 8.6.0 - please update.

P.S. Does the "Please note, that we do not have FORMATWIKI." part also mean that your Table Transformer doesn't support the FORMATWIKI function? Then you definitely need to update the app, this feature was introduced in October, 2020.


author: Leona
