Knox Webhook Notification 25.04 release notes

Prevention of replay attacks

To prevent replay attacks, a new header parameter x-knox-nonce, is introduced in callback POST requests from Knox Webhook Notification. The x-knox-nonce is a unique identifier that is generated and included in each callback triggered by Knox cloud services subscription events.

Each callback request contains a unique nonce value. The receiving server can validate that the nonce has not been previously used. If the server detects a duplicate nonce, it should reject the request and prevent further processing. This security enhancement ensures every callback request is unique and verifiable, mitigating the risk of replay attacks.
