April Patches for Azure DevOps Server and Team Foundation Server

Gloridel Morales
Senior Technical Program Manager

Today we are releasing patches that impact our self-hosted product, Azure DevOps Server, as well as Team Foundation Server 2018.3.2. We strongly encourage and recommend that all customers use the latest, most secure release of Azure DevOps Server. You can download the latest version of the product, Azure DevOps Server 2022.2 from the Azure DevOps Server download page.

Previously, the Azure DevOps Agent used the Edgio CDN with endpoint vstsagentpackage.azureedge.net. As part of Edgio’s retirement, the vstsagentpackage.azureedge.net domain is being decommissioned. To ensure continued availability, we have migrated to an Akamai-backed CDN with a new endpoint download.agent.dev.azure.com. This patch includes the necessary changes to fetch the Agent binaries from the new CDN endpoint, thereby migrating away from the previous CDN endpoint.

Note: Domain retirement applies to the vstsagentpackage.azureedge.net domain only and not all *.azureedge.net domains. You can learn more about the Azure CDN from Edgio retirement in the FAQ documentation.

Important: The CDN Domain URL change for Agents in Pipelines blog provides steps to follow before installing this patch.

Azure DevOps Server 2022.2 Patch 5

If you have Azure DevOps Server 2022.2, you should install Azure DevOps Server 2022.2 Patch 5 to have the most secure product experience. Check out the Release notes for details.

Note: Azure DevOps Server 2022.2 is the latest version of Azure DevOps Server. If you have installed Azure DevOps Server 2022 or Azure DevOps Server 2022.1, you should first upgrade to Azure DevOps Server 2022.2 and then install Azure DevOps Server 2022.2 Patch 5.

    Hello, I am trying the azure webhook api calls that found on your documention for creating webhooks via ui or api calls. My question is like that: I was able to create webhook by an api post request with not specifing the projectid . This created webhook on the organization level and i was able to get events on any change on any project in this organization. I could not find any documentation on your site about creating webhooks on organization but only on project.
    Also the ui shows only in project this webhooks tab with this option....

    Can you say if the RC you speak of is a major version or only an update release for 2022?

    Hello Gloridel,

    can you please clarify the status of "CVE-2025-29813" - Azure DevOps Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability.

    On the one hand it says "Server" on the other it says "This vulnerability has already been fully mitigated by Microsoft. "

    That sounds little bit strange. If it was for Azure Devops Services Microsoft could fully mitigate problems, but how should this work on Azure Devops Server?
    Looks for like either the CVE mentions Server instead of Services or that a patch for the server is needed.

    Since this is CVE 10.0 vulnerability it would be nice to know when/if a patch is available to...

      I’ve got an answer from the product group. The vulnerability is not related to Azure Devops Server but only Services.
      The CVE entry will be fixed

    hello - I am currently running Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Base patch 4- v19.205.33802.4 installed/applied. No updates to the base ,i.e. (devops2022.0.1patchX) are installed nor any devops2022.1(Update 1), nor devops2022.2(Update 2) patches are installed. No one kept up with patch management. This is disconnected system(standalone). I've downloaded at least 17 executables.
    - Can I do the lastest patch for each segment to step this up to current release?
    -Must I install a RC or RTW when going up a major release ?
    -Must I also perform a backup in server admin console prior to applying a update / patch?Read more

      Hi Karen,

      pay attention that Azure DevOps Server 2022.2 no longer supports SQL Server 2017 and you need to upgrade to SQL Server 2019 or higher

    • Gloridel MoralesMicrosoft employee Author

      Hi Karen, the patch is applicable to Azure DevOps Server 2022.2. You will have to upgrade to the latest version of Azure DevOps Server 2022 (2022.2) to apply the patch. You can download the latest from our Download Page and then install Patch 5. We recommend that you back up the databases regularly but it is not required before installing a patch.

    We are currently running Azure DevOps 2020 Update 1.2 (18.181.32404.7), and need to move to DevOps 2020 Update 1.2 Patch 16.

    Are the patches cumulative patches, meaning we just need to install patch 16? Or does each patch need to be installed in order, from 1 through to 16?

    Thanks, Jason

        Hello Gloridel, I just did a testrun 2020.1.2 Patch 8 and 10 – not standard click-an-run patches but also with installation of a (decentral) new buildserver and updates (per collection) on the pipeline build tasks. Your statement that patch 16 has all that would change everything for an upgrade I have to run soon.
        Can you please confirm once more that all those patches (1/16) and tasks (8/10) are not needed, just by running Azure DevOps Server 2020.1.2 Patch 16?

    Hi Gloridel,

    We are using Azure DevOps 2019 Update 1.1 Patch 13.

    Could our update path be :
    -Update 1.2
    -Update 1.2 Patch 11

    Are the fixes cumulatives or do we have to install each of them in order ?

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    • Gloridel MoralesMicrosoft employee Author

      Hi Jeff, patches are cumulative. The path that you describe is correct, you will have to upgrade to Azure DevOps Server 2019.1.2 and then install Patch 11.

      • Jean-François Ruel

        Hi Gloridel,

        Is there a way to identify that Patch 11 (Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1.2) has been installed ?

        The installation log says so without errors, but is there a file version i could check ?

        Thanks !

        Jeff

      • Jean-François Ruel

        Thanks for the quick reply Gloridel and your answer is a relief !!!

    we are currently on Azure DevOps Server 2022.1 Patch 4 due to the new minimum SQL Server 2019 requirements in version 2022.2 and we can’t upgrade SQL Server at the moment and therefore not upgrade to 2022.2

    Is it possible to manual update the TFS configuration with the new CDN domain?

    what is the planned release date for the next major Azure DevOps Server as we want to upgrade directly to that version when it will be available within a reasonable time frame?

    • Gloridel MoralesMicrosoft employee Author

      Hi Daniel, I forwarded your question about manually updating the TFS configuration to our engineer team. I will let you know as soon as I have a response.
      We are planning on releasing RC late summer, and RTW in Q4 this year.

      • Shubham AgarwalMicrosoft employee

        Hey Daniel, it’s not possible to manually update the TFS configuration to support the new domain URL in its current state. We suggest planning an upgrade to the DevOps server.

    Hello Gloridel,

    I am using Azure Devops 2022.0.1. Does the CDN change apply to this version as well?
    Do i have to upgrade to 2022.2?

    • Gloridel MoralesMicrosoft employee Author

      Hi Sarita, it applies to all Azure DevOps Server 2022 versions that we have released. You will have to upgrade to the latest version (Azure DevOps Server 2022.2) and then install the patch.
