Sitecore Security Bulletins are notifications issued by Sitecore to inform customers about new security vulnerabilities and patches related to Sitecore software. Subscribing to Sitecore Security Bulletins is highly beneficial for several reasons:

• Stay Informed: You’ll receive timely notifications about new security vulnerabilities and patches, helping you keep your Sitecore environment secure
• Proactive Protection: By staying updated, you can apply security updates promptly, reducing the risk of exploitation by malicious actors
• Compliance: Regular updates ensure that your system complies with the latest security standards and best practices
• Peace of Mind: Knowing that you are aware of and addressing potential security issues can provide peace of mind, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your business

You can find the Security Bulletins on Sitecore KB home page as given below and filter the result as per your software version

https://support.sitecore.com/kb

However, this method is not efficient because you constantly need to monitor the page. Instead, subscribe to Security Bulletins as described in this KB article:

https://support.sitecore.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1000489

As soon as a new security patch is released, you’ll be notified. Keep your Sitecore environment safe.

Finally we raised a support ticket with Sitecore and found that this issue seems to be due to security fixes in the cumulative hotfix. You can find more detail on this issue in this Sitecore KB article:

https://support.sitecore.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1003018#FAQ

As per recommendation from Sitecore support team, we applied below patch configuration on CM server:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration xmlns:role="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/role/"
xmlns:security="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/security/"
xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/">
    <sitecore>
        <reflection role:require="ContentManagement or Standalone">
            <allowedMethods>
                <descriptor type="ProjectName.Sites.SitecoreCode.Fields.CustomFieldName"
                methodName="Add" assemblyName="ProjectName.Sites.SitecoreCode" />
            </allowedMethods>
        </reflection>
    </sitecore>
</configuration>

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration xmlns:role="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/role/"
xmlns:security="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/security/"
xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/">
    <sitecore>
        <reflection role:require="ContentManagement or Standalone">
            <allowedMethods>
                <descriptor type="ProjectName.Sites.SitecoreCode.Fields.CustomFieldName"
                methodName="Add" assemblyName="ProjectName.Sites.SitecoreCode" />
            </allowedMethods>
        </reflection>
    </sitecore>
</configuration>

The related XAML controls are not used on CDs since hotfix contains instructions to disable the related handler so we applied this patch only on CM server. Hope this helps!

Environment:
