Bug Notification (affects KNIME Analytics Platform 4.7.0 - 4.7.3 / 5.0.0)

Dear Community,

In rare cases, interactions with Components on KNIME Hub can cause loss of files in your local workspace. In order to avoid this problem from occurring, we have restricted Component downloading from the Community Hub for the affected versions of KNIME Analytics Platform.

We highly recommend updating Analytics Platform 4.7.0 - 4.7.3 to 4.7.4 (available now) as soon as possible and 5.0.0 to 5.0.1 (which will be available on Monday).

If you are accessing an in-house installation of KNIME Business Hub (not KNIME Server!) and are still using one of the affected Analytics Platforms, refrain from opening Components on that Hub until you have upgraded as well.

We will provide more information and a more thorough technical explanation on Monday but wanted to alert our user base as soon as possible and also explain why access to Components is limited on the Community Hub and why we heavily encourage an update to 4.7.4 / 5.0.1.

Please reach out if you have any questions.
