This allowed him full access to the web application. With a certain system configuration, it could even cause remote code execution.

Vulnerability data is published in the Information Security Threats Data Bank of the Federal Service for Technical and Export Control (FSTEC). Vendor has been notified in a timely manner. The problems that the vulnerability led to are currently fixed by the developer.

It is recommended that users upgrade software to version 1.2 or 1.4, and install a separate patch for versions 1.1 and below.

Web applications have become one of the main targets of cybercriminals. They are widespread and have extensive functionality, which leads to the fact that vulnerabilities in them are very common. We have seen a significant increase in incidents involving web applications, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures. Protecting web applications is a critical task for all organizations that use them, "said Borisov Alexander, head of the Innostage penetration testing competence center.

Application exit for BPMSoft

Lanit Omni (part of the LANIT group) has presented a mobile application on iOS and Android for an updated version of the low-code platform BPMSoft. It provides the necessary functionality for managing business processes from mobile devices. LANIT announced this on April 4, 2023. Read more here.

Prerequisites for Creating a Platform

The development of its own BPM platform took about 15 months, Lanit said TAdviser. The work started in March 2021.

We were not engaged in the creation of a replacement for Creatio, in 2021 this was not necessary. At that time, we were thinking about the correct vector for the development of our own CRM solution. It was planned to be updated, but the development of a new product on the bpm platform was considered more expedient, as more competitive and meeting the changing needs of the market, the company explains. - Naturally, the departure of Terrasoft accelerated the development of BPMSoft. An additional impetus was received by the team, strengthened by experts who moved to Lanit Omni from Terrasoft.

By June 2022, the MVP (Minimum viable product) was ready, which was registered in Rospatent in 03.06.2022. But there was no official announcement of the BPMSoft 1.0 platform either in 2022 or at the beginning of 2023, work is still underway to stabilize and develop the product line.

Lanit Omni continues to provide technical support to customers using the Creatio solution.

2022: Release of the Lanita BPM platform under its own brand

As TAdviser found out, after Terrasoft left Russia, Lanit, represented by its "daughter" Lanit Omni, began selling a line of BPM products under its own brand - BPMSoft. In June, the company applied for registration of a computer program under the BPMSoft brand in Rospatent^[1].

BPMSoft is positioned as Lanita's own low-code platform for automating CRM and internal business processes. Products on this platform "fully comply with import substitution requirements and can be used to replace foreign software of the CRM and BPM class," stated on its website.

The line includes solutions such as "BPMSoft: Sales," "BPMSoft: Marketing," "BPMSoft: Service," "BPMSoft: Portal," "BPMSoft: Constructor."

Interface "BPMSoft: Sales" from "Lanit." Image from the site Bpm-soft.ru

The Terrasoft portfolio based on the low-code platform under the Creatio brand contains products to automate the same processes. In Russia, exclusive rights to them, according to the database of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS), were previously issued to the Russian legal entity Terrasoft (since 2019 - to the Russian LLC Terrasoft Center), and in April 2022 the rights were transferred to the Cypriot legal entity Terrasoft - Crietio EMEA Ltd. Among them are solutions "Terrasoft Service," "Terrasoft Sales," "Terrasoft Marketing," etc.

The bpm-soft.ru website, which presents products under the BPMSoft brand, Lanit Omni registered at the end of June^[2]. But even earlier, in mid-March, an almost identical domain - bpmsoft.ru - was registered by Terrasoft^[3]. No branded content is posted on the latter.

According to the TAdviser project database, among the customers of Creatio products are Russian Post Norilsk Nickel, VimpelCom (operates under the Beeline brand), Russian Railways Technologies, FC Uralsib, Uralchem, Ozon.ru and many others.

In one of the vacancies, Norbit (part of Lanit), posted on the recruiting portal hh.ru July 18, BPMSoft was named "ex. Terrasoft Creatio^[4] In a similar way, BPMSoft is denoted by some customers and other IT companies. For example, in the vacancy of the CRM project manager of the Enlightenment Group, posted at the end of June, BPMSoft CRM is also indicated as "former. Terrasoft Creatio^[5]. BPMSoft marked Creatio in parentheses is listed in one of the vacancies of the IT company ICL Services^[6]. In the vacancies of SME Bank, BPMSoft is listed as BPM Online (bpm'online - as the Terrasoft Creatio platform was previously called^[7].

In the case of SME Bank, we are talking about the development on the basis of BPMSoft of a federal-scale project - the digital platform AIS NSS, which is "the only and unique solution in the financial market created for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the Russian Federation." More than 2 million small and medium-sized businesses, 82 regional guarantee organizations are connected to the system, ensuring the issuance of guarantees and guarantees, more than 80 accredited banks, the Ministry of Economic Development, and external services.

In the vacancy published by our subsidiary Norbit, we are talking about finding a specialist who will accompany Terrasoft products, and later - a new BPMSoft product, - explain in Lanit the fact that BPMSoft is named there "ex. Terrasoft Creatio».

Recall that Terrasoft announced the termination of activities in Russia in March 2022, shortly after the start of the SVO of the RF Armed Forces in Ukraine. Since June, its Russian legal entities, renamed Modern Automation Technologies LLC and Solutions for Process Automation LLC, have been under liquidation, according to the Kontur. Focus legal entity database.

Due to the departure of Terrasoft, a large number of Russian clients (more than 700) and about 100 partners were under attack. They have all fallen into an "absolutely desperate position threatening the sustainability of their business," said TAdviser in Lanita. In addition, all specialists from the Russian division of Terrasoft, more than 70 people, would have lost their jobs. And in order to minimize the negative consequences, Lanit decided to transfer employees of the Russian division of Terrasoft to Lanit Omni, which since 2012 has specialized in the development and implementation of CRM solutions for retail. Together with Norbit specialists, one of the largest partners of Terrasoft in Russia, a customer support center Terrasoft was organized.

Since the end of March 2022, Lanit Omni specialists have been providing technical support and support for Terrasoft solutions for clients and partners in Russia and Belarus, regardless of the position of the copyright holder.

In addition, relying on the expertise of the Lanit group specialists and former Terrasoft employees, it was decided to start developing its own BPM solution, which could potentially become an alternative to the Creatio platform. In June of this year, after the first version of the product appeared, an application was submitted for registration of the program, and a site with a domain name was registered, https://bpm-soft.ru TAdviser said in Lanit.

The company added that bpmsoft.ru do not have any information regarding the domain: "the name, presumably, turned out to be similar due to the reference to the approach used - Business Process Management (BPM)."

Terrasoft previously announced its support for Ukraine and the termination of work with Russia and Belarus for political reasons. The company also announced the transfer of 2 million hryvnia (approximately 8 million rubles) to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine^[8]this regard, concern about potential transactions between Terrasoft and Lanit was expressed by Alexander Khinshtein, State Duma deputy, head of the committee on information policy, IT and communications. In such a situation, any payments of Russian business structures to Terrasoft are de facto funds to fight the "Russian invaders," he said. Read more here.

Lanit claims that they did not transfer money to Terrasoft in order to be able to use the company's developments in their products, including through Cyprus, where the Russian legal entity Terrasoft transferred the rights to its previously registered computer programs in Russia.

In connection with the well-known situation, since the end of February 2022, the Lanit group has not been cooperating in any way with the international company Terrasoft and has not transferred funds to the specified group. LANIT operates within the framework of the current legislation of the Russian Federation, complying with all its requirements. Accordingly, no payments for the transfer of any intellectual rights between the parties did not and could not occur, TAdviser said in Lanit.

Lanit Omni is the developer of its own software product BPMSoft, which was registered by Rospatent on June 3, the company added. The purchase of BPMSoft licenses is not an extension of Creatio licenses, it is the acquisition of rights to a new software product. Customers purchase BPMSoft according to their own purchasing procedures.
