Description As a result of security changes introduced in FME 2026.2 and backported to specified earlier versions, the ability to specify some TCL and FME Functions in parameter and attribute values has been disabled in the fixed versions and instances that have been patched according to the instructions in the advisory. After upgrading or patching, some transformers and advanced scripting features, unlikely to be used by the majority of workspaces, may be impacted.
