Report Server Rending HyperLink as unclickable

I am moving my client from RDS to Custom RDS. While testing a local Report Server (SSRS) 2019, we noticed:

All hyperlinks are rendered as blue with an underline, but they are not clickable. Also, when hovering, the mouse cursor not switching to "hand" to show as clickable-hyperlink.

Important to note that in the current RDS-SSRS implementation, the hyperlinks for the same report are clickable with the "hand" cursor.

Googling the issue did not showcase an obvious item I had missed.

Do you have any idea?

After Communicating with Microsoft, this was a security fix released on Microsoft Reporting Services (SSRS) version "16.0.9101.19239" (Product Version: 16.0.1116.38) on "2025/01/06"

• Information can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/release-notes-reporting-services?view=sql-server-ver16#160910119239-20250106

Changed default SupportedHyperlinkSchemes advanced server property value to disallow JavaScript

to address it:

1. Connect to Server via SSMS

• open SSMS
• set "Server Type" to "Reporting Services"
• set Server name as "[Servername or localhost]\[SSRS INSTANCE NAME]" (example: SQL\SSRS)
• set Authentication as needed (usually Windows Authentication)

3. Set Server Properties

• Open Server Properties (Right-click on the Server > Properties)
• Go to Security Tab
• set "SupportedHyperlinkSchemes" to "*" (without "") - this will allow all URLs. if you have specific hyperlink schemes in use, you can put them here instead.

4. Restart SSRS
