1.9.10

September 30, 2022

SECURITY:

secrets/pki: Vault’s TLS certificate auth method did not initially load the optionally-configured CRL issued by the role’s CA into memory on startup, resulting in the revocation list not being checked, if the CRL has not yet been retrieved. This vulnerability, CVE-2022-41316, is fixed in Vault 1.12.0, 1.11.4, 1.10.7, and 1.9.10. [HSEC-2022-24]

BUG FIXES:

replication (enterprise): Fix data race in SaveCheckpoint()
ui: Fix lease force revoke action [GH-16930]

1.9.9

August 31, 2022

SECURITY:

core: When entity aliases mapped to a single entity share the same alias name, but have different mount accessors, Vault can leak metadata between the aliases. This metadata leak may result in unexpected access if templated policies are using alias metadata for path names. This vulnerability, CVE-2022-40186, is fixed in 1.11.3, 1.10.6, and 1.9.9. [HSEC-2022-18]

CHANGES:

core: Bump Go version to 1.17.13.

ui: Fix OIDC callback to accept namespace flag in different formats [GH-16886]
ui: Fix issue logging in with JWT auth method [GH-16466]

SECURITY:

identity/entity: When entity aliases mapped to a single entity share the same alias name, but have different mount accessors, Vault can leak metadata between the aliases. This metadata leak may result in unexpected access if templated policies are using alias metadata for path names. [HCSEC-2022-18]

1.9.8

July 21, 2022

SECURITY:

storage/raft: Vault Enterprise (“Vault”) clusters using Integrated Storage expose an unauthenticated API endpoint that could be abused to override the voter status of a node within a Vault HA cluster, introducing potential for future data loss or catastrophic failure. This vulnerability, CVE-2022-36129, was fixed in Vault 1.9.8, 1.10.5, and 1.11.1. [HSEC-2022-15]

BUG FIXES:

agent: Redact auto auth token from renew endpoints [GH-15380]
auth/ldap: The logic for setting the entity alias when username_as_alias is set has been fixed. The previous behavior would make a request to the LDAP server to get user_attr before discarding it and using the username instead. This would make it impossible for a user to connect if this attribute was missing or had multiple values, even though it would not be used anyway. This has been fixed and the username is now used without making superfluous LDAP searches. [GH-15525]

1.6.2

January 29, 2021

SECURITY:

IP Address Disclosure: We fixed a vulnerability where, under some error conditions, Vault would return an error message disclosing internal IP addresses. This vulnerability affects Vault and Vault Enterprise and is fixed in 1.6.2 (CVE-2021-3024).
Limited Unauthenticated Remove Peer: As of Vault 1.6, the remove-peer command on DR secondaries did not require authentication. This issue impacts the stability of HA architecture, as a bad actor could remove all standby nodes from a DR secondary. This issue affects Vault Enterprise 1.6.0 and 1.6.1, and is fixed in 1.6.2 (CVE-2021-3282).
Mount Path Disclosure: Vault previously returned different HTTP status codes for existent and non-existent mount paths. This behavior would allow unauthenticated brute force attacks to reveal which paths had valid mounts. This issue affects Vault and Vault Enterprise and is fixed in 1.6.2 (CVE-2020-25594).

1.6.0

November 11th, 2020

NOTE:

Binaries for 32-bit macOS (i.e. the darwin_386 build) will no longer be published. This target was dropped in the latest version of the Go compiler.

CHANGES:

agent: Agent now properly returns a non-zero exit code on error, such as one due to template rendering failure. Using error_on_missing_key in the template config will cause agent to immediately exit on failure. In order to make agent properly exit due to continuous failure from template rendering errors, the old behavior of indefinitely restarting the template server is now changed to exit once the default retry attempt of 12 times (with exponential backoff) gets exhausted. [GH-9670]

Integrated Storage Cloud Auto Join: This feature for integrated storage enables Vault nodes running in the cloud to automatically discover and join a Vault cluster via operator-supplied metadata.
Key Management Secrets Engine (Enterprise; Tech Preview): This new secret engine allows securely distributing and managing keys to Azure cloud KMS services.
Seal Migration: With Vault 1.6, we will support migrating from an auto unseal mechanism to a different mechanism of the same type. For example, if you were using an AWS KMS key to automatically unseal, you can now migrate to a different AWS KMS key.
Tokenization (Enterprise; Tech Preview): Tokenization supports creating irreversible “tokens” from sensitive data. Tokens can be used in less secure environments, protecting the original data.
Vault Client Count: Vault now counts the number of active entities (and non-entity tokens) per month and makes this information available via the "Metrics" section of the UI.

IMPROVEMENTS:

auth/approle: Role names can now be referenced in templated policies through the approle.metadata.role_name property [GH-9529]

1.3 (November 14th, 2019)

CHANGES:

Secondary cluster activation: There has been a change to the way that activating performance and DR secondary clusters works when using public keys for encryption of the parameters rather than a wrapping token. This flow was experimental and never documented. It is now officially supported and documented but is not backwards compatible with older Vault releases.
Cluster cipher suites: On its cluster port, Vault will no longer advertise the full TLS 1.2 cipher suite list by default. Although this port is only used for Vault-to-Vault communication and would always pick a strong cipher, it could cause false flags on port scanners and other security utilities that assumed insecure ciphers were being used. The previous behavior can be achieved by setting the value of the (undocumented) cluster_cipher_suites config flag to tls12.
API/Agent Renewal behavior: The API now allows multiple options for how it deals with renewals. The legacy behavior in the Agent/API is for the renewer (now called the lifetime watcher) to exit on a renew error, leading to a reauthentication. The new default behavior is for the lifetime watcher to ignore 5XX errors and simply retry as scheduled, using the existing lease duration. It is also possible, within custom code, to disable renewals entirely, which allows the lifetime watcher to simply return when it believes it is time for your code to renew or reauthenticate.

FEATURES:

Vault Debug: A new top-level subcommand, debug, is added that allows operators to retrieve debugging information related to a particular Vault node. Operators can use this simple workflow to capture triaging information, which can then be consumed programmatically or by support and engineering teams. It has the abilitity to probe for config, host, metrics, pprof, server status, and replication status.
Recovery Mode: Vault server can be brought up in recovery mode to resolve outages caused due to data store being in bad state. This is a privileged mode that allows sys/raw API calls to perform surgical corrections to the data store. Bad storage state can be caused by bugs. However, this is usually observed when known (and fixed) bugs are hit by older versions of Vault.
Entropy Augmentation (Enterprise): Vault now supports sourcing entropy from external source for critical security parameters. Currently an HSM that supports PKCS#11 is the only supported source.
Active Directory Secret Check-In/Check-Out: In the Active Directory secrets engine, users or applications can check out a service account for use, and its password will be rotated when it's checked back in.
Vault Agent Template: Vault Agent now supports rendering templates containing Vault secrets to disk, similar to Consul Template [GH-7652]
Transit Key Type Support: Signing and verification is now supported with the P-384 (secp384r1) and P-521 (secp521r1) ECDSA curves [GH-7551] and encryption and decryption is now supported via AES128-GCM96 [GH-7555]
SSRF Protection for Vault Agent: Vault Agent has a configuration option to require a specific header before allowing requests [GH-7627]
AWS Auth Method Root Rotation: The credential used by the AWS auth method can now be rotated, to ensure that only Vault knows the credentials it is using [GH-7131]
New UI Features: The UI now supports managing users and groups for the Userpass, Cert, Okta, and Radius auth methods.
Shamir with Stored Master Key: The on disk format for Shamir seals has changed, allowing for a secondary cluster using Shamir downstream from a primary cluster using Auto Unseal. [GH-7694]
Stackdriver Metrics Sink: Vault can now send metrics to Stackdriver. See the configuration documentation for details. [GH-6957]
Filtered Paths Replication (Enterprise): Based on the predecessor Filtered Mount Replication, Filtered Paths Replication allows now filtering of namespaces in addition to mounts. With this feature, Filtered Mount Replication should be considered deprecated.
Token Renewal via Accessor: Tokens can now be renewed via the accessor value through the new auth/token/renew-accessor endpoint if the caller's token has permission to access that endpoint.
Improved Integrated Storage (Beta): Improved raft write performance, added support for non-voter nodes, along with UI support for: using raft storage, joining a raft cluster, and downloading and restoring a snapshot.

BUG FIXES:

auth/aws: Made header handling for IAM authentication more robust

1.2.6.1

August 21st, 2020

Enterprise Only

NOTE:

Includes correct license in the HSM binary.

1.2.6

August 20th, 2020

NOTE:

OSS binaries of 1.5.1, 1.4.4, 1.3.8, and 1.2.5 were built without the Vault UI. Enterprise binaries are not affected.

KNOWN ISSUES:

AWS IAM logins may return an error depending on the headers sent with the request. For more details and a workaround, see the 1.2.6 Upgrade Guide
In versions 1.2.6, 1.3.9, 1.4.5, and 1.5.2, enterprise licenses on the HSM build were not incorporated correctly - enterprise customers should use 1.2.6.1, 1.3.9.1, 1.4.5.1, and 1.5.2.1.

1.2.5

August 20th, 2020

SECURITY:

When using the IAM AWS Auth Method, under certain circumstances, values Vault uses to validate identities and roles can be manipulated and bypassed. This vulnerability affects Vault and Vault Enterprise 0.7.1 and newer and is fixed in 1.2.5, 1.3.8, 1.4.4, and 1.5.1 (CVE-2020-16250) (Discovered by Felix Wilhelm of Google Project Zero)
When using the GCP GCE Auth Method, under certain circumstances, values Vault uses to validate GCE VMs can be manipulated and bypassed. This vulnerability affects Vault and Vault Enterprise 0.8.3 and newer and is fixed in 1.2.5, 1.3.8, 1.4.4, and 1.5.1 (CVE-2020-16251) (Discovered by Felix Wilhelm of Google Project Zero)

KNOWN ISSUES:

AWS IAM logins may return an error depending on the headers sent with the request. For more details and a workaround, see the 1.2.5 Upgrade Guide

BUG FIXES:

seal: (enterprise) Fix issue causing stored seal and recovery keys to be mistaken as sealwrapped values

1.2.4 (November 7th, 2019)

SECURITY:

In a non-root namespace, revocation of a token scoped to a non-root namespace did not trigger the expected revocation of dynamic secret leases associated with that token. As a result, dynamic secret leases in non-root namespaces may outlive the token that created them. This vulnerability, CVE-2019-18616, affects Vault Enterprise 0.11.0 and newer.
Disaster Recovery secondary clusters did not delete already-replicated data after a mount filter has been created on an upstream Performance secondary cluster. As a result, encrypted secrets may remain replicated on a Disaster Recovery secondary cluster after application of a mount filter excluding those secrets from replication. This vulnerability, CVE-2019-18617, affects Vault Enterprise 0.8 and newer.
Update version of Go to 1.12.12 to fix Go bug golang.org/issue/34960 which corresponds to CVE-2019-17596.

CHANGES:

auth/aws: If a custom sts_endpoint is configured, Vault Agent and the CLI should provide the corresponding region via the region parameter (which already existed as a CLI parameter, and has now been added to Agent). The automatic region detection added to the CLI and Agent in 1.2 has been removed.

IMPROVEMENTS:

cli: Ignore existing token during CLI login [GH-7508]
core: Log proxy settings from environment on startup [GH-7528]

ui (Enterprise): The list of namespaces is now cleared when logging out [GH-7186]

1.2.0 (July 30th, 2019)

CHANGES:

Token store roles use new, common token fields for the values that overlap with other auth backends. period, explicit_max_ttl, and bound_cidrs will continue to work, with priority being given to the token_ prefixed versions of those parameters. They will also be returned when doing a read on the role if they were used to provide values initially; however, in Vault 1.4 if period or explicit_max_ttl is zero they will no longer be returned. (explicit_max_ttl was already not returned if empty.)
Due to underlying changes in Go version 1.12 and Go > 1.11.5, Vault is now stricter about what characters it will accept in path names. Whereas before it would filter out unprintable characters (and this could be turned off), control characters and other invalid characters are now rejected within Go's HTTP library before the request is passed to Vault, and this cannot be disabled. To continue using these (e.g. for already-written paths), they must be properly percent-encoded (e.g. \r becomes %0D, \x00 becomes %00, and so on).
The user-configured regions on the AWSKMS seal stanza will now be preferred over regions set in the enclosing environment. This is a breaking change.
All values in audit logs now are omitted if they are empty. This helps reduce the size of audit log entries by not reproducing keys in each entry that commonly don't contain any value, which can help in cases where audit log entries are above the maximum UDP packet size and others.
Both PeriodicFunc and WALRollback functions will be called if both are provided. Previously WALRollback would only be called if PeriodicFunc was not set. See [GH-6717] for details.
Vault now uses Go's official dependency management system, Go Modules, to manage dependencies. As a result to both reduce transitive dependencies for API library users and plugin authors, and to work around various conflicts, we have moved various helpers around, mostly under an sdk/ submodule. A couple of functions have also moved from plugin helper code to the api/ submodule. If you are a plugin author, take a look at some of our official plugins and the paths they are importing for guidance.
AppRole uses new, common token fields for values that overlap with other auth backends. period and policies will continue to work, with priority being given to the token_ prefixed versions of those parameters. They will also be returned when doing a read on the role if they were used to provide values initially.
In AppRole, "default" is no longer automatically added to the policies parameter. This was a no-op since it would always be added anyways by Vault's core; however, this can now be explicitly disabled with the new token_no_default_policy field.
In AppRole, bound_cidr_list is no longer returned when reading a role
rollback: Rollback will no longer display log messages when it runs; it will only display messages on error.
Database plugins will now default to 4 max_open_connections rather than 2.

FEATURES:

Integrated Storage: Vault 1.2 includes a tech preview of a new way to manage storage directly within a Vault cluster. This new integrated storage solution is based on the Raft protocol which is also used to back HashiCorp Consul and HashiCorp Nomad.
Combined DB credential rotation: Alternative mode for the Combined DB Secret Engine to automatically rotate existing database account credentials and set Vault as the source of truth for credentials.
Identity Tokens: Vault's Identity system can now generate OIDC-compliant ID tokens. These customizable tokens allow encapsulating a signed, verifiable snapshot of identity information and metadata. They can be use by other applications—even those without Vault authorization—as a way of establishing identity based on a Vault entity.
Pivotal Cloud Foundry plugin: New auth method using Pivotal Cloud Foundry certificates for Vault authentication.
ElasticSearch database plugin: New ElasticSearch database plugin issues unique, short-lived ElasticSearch credentials.
New UI Features: An HTTP Request Volume Page and new UI for editing LDAP Users and Groups have been added.
HA support for Postgres: PostgreSQL versions >= 9.5 may now but used as and HA storage backend.
KMIP secrets engine (Enterprise): Allows Vault to operate as a KMIP Server, seamlessly brokering cryptographic operations for traditional infrastructure.
Common Token Fields: Auth methods now use common fields for controlling token behavior, making it easier to understand configuration across methods.
Vault API explorer: The Vault UI now includes an embedded API explorer where you can browse the endpoints avaliable to you and make requests. To try it out, open the Web CLI and type api.

IMPROVEMENTS:

agent: Allow EC2 nonce to be passed in [GH-6953]

1.1.2 (April 18th, 2019)

This is a bug fix release containing the two items below. It is otherwise unchanged from 1.1.1.

BUG FIXES:

auth/okta: Fix a potential dropped error [GH-6592]
secrets/kv: Fix a regression on upgrade where a KVv2 mount could fail to be mounted on unseal if it had previously been mounted but not written to [GH-31]

1.1.1 (April 11th, 2019)

SECURITY:

Given: (a) performance replication is enabled; (b) performance standbys are in use on the performance replication secondary cluster; and (c) mount filters are in use, if a mount that was previously available to a secondary is updated to be filtered out, although the data would be removed from the secondary cluster, the in-memory cache of the data would not be purged on the performance standby nodes. As a result, the previously-available data could still be read from memory if it was ever read from disk, and if this included mount configuration data this could result in token or lease issuance. The issue is fixed in this release; in prior releases either an active node changeover (such as a step-down) or a restart of the standby nodes is sufficient to cause the performance standby nodes to clear their cache. A CVE is in the process of being issued; the number is CVE-2019-11075.
Roles in the JWT Auth backend using the OIDC login flow (i.e. role_type of “oidc”) were not enforcing bound_cidrs restrictions, if any were configured for the role. This issue did not affect roles of type “jwt”.

CHANGES:

auth/jwt: Disallow logins of role_type "oidc" via the /login path [GH-38]
core/acl: New ordering defines which policy wins when there are multiple inexact matches and at least one path contains +. +* is now illegal in policy paths. The previous behavior simply selected any matching segment-wildcard path that matched. [GH-6532]
replication: Due to technical limitations, mounting and unmounting was not previously possible from a performance secondary. These have been resolved, and these operations may now be run from a performance secondary.

IMPROVEMENTS:

agent: Allow AppRole auto-auth without a secret-id [GH-6324]
auth/gcp: Cache clients to improve performance and reduce open file usage
auth/jwt: Bounds claims validiation will now allow matching the received claims against a list of expected values [GH-41]

replication: Mounting/unmounting/remounting/mount-tuning is now supported from a performance secondary cluster
ui: Suport for authentication via the RADIUS auth method [GH-6488]
ui: Navigating away from secret list view will clear any page-specific filter that was applied [GH-6511]
ui: Improved the display when OIDC auth errors [GH-6553]

BUG FIXES:

agent: Allow auto-auth to be used with caching without having to define any sinks [GH-6468]
agent: Disallow some nonsensical config file combinations [GH-6471]
auth/ldap: Fix CN check not working if CN was not all in uppercase [GH-6518]
auth/jwt: The CLI helper for OIDC logins will now open the browser to the correct URL when running on Windows [GH-37]

1.1.0 (March 18th, 2019)

CHANGES:

auth/jwt: The groups_claim_delimiter_pattern field has been removed. If the groups claim is not at the top level, it can now be specified as a JSONPointer.
auth/jwt: Roles now have a "role type" parameter with a default type of "oidc". To configure new JWT roles, a role type of "jwt" must be explicitly specified.
cli: CLI commands deprecated in 0.9.2 are now removed. Please see the CLI help/warning output in previous versions of Vault for updated commands.
core: Vault no longer automatically mounts a K/V backend at the "secret/" path when initializing Vault
core: Vault's cluster port will now be open at all times on HA standby nodes
plugins: Vault no longer supports running netRPC plugins. These were deprecated in favor of gRPC based plugins and any plugin built since 0.9.4 defaults to gRPC. Older plugins may need to be recompiled against the latest Vault dependencies.

FEATURES:

Vault Agent Caching: Vault Agent can now be configured to act as a caching proxy to Vault. Clients can send requests to Vault Agent and the request will be proxied to the Vault server and cached locally in Agent. Currently Agent will cache generated leases and tokens and keep them renewed. The proxy can also use the Auto Auth feature so clients do not need to authenticate to Vault, but rather can make requests to Agent and have Agent fully manage token lifecycle.
OIDC Redirect Flow Support: The JWT auth backend now supports OIDC roles. These allow authentication via an OIDC-compliant provider via the user's browser. The login may be initiated from the Vault UI or through the vault login command.
ACL Path Wildcard: ACL paths can now use the + character to enable wild card matching for a single directory in the path definition.
Transit Auto Unseal: Vault can now be configured to use the Transit Secret Engine in another Vault cluster as an auto unseal provider.

IMPROVEMENTS:

auth/jwt: A default role can be set. It will be used during JWT/OIDC logins if a role is not specified.
auth/jwt: Arbitrary claims data can now be copied into token & alias metadata.
auth/jwt: An arbitrary set of bound claims can now be configured for a role.
auth/jwt: The name "oidc" has been added as an alias for the jwt backend. Either name may be specified in the auth enable command.
command/server: A warning will be printed when 'tls_cipher_suites' includes a blacklisted cipher suite or all cipher suites are blacklisted by the HTTP/2 specification [GH-6300]
core/metrics: Prometheus pull support using a new sys/metrics endpoint. [GH-5308]
core: On non-windows platforms a SIGUSR2 will make the server log a dump of all running goroutines' stack traces for debugging purposes [GH-6240]
replication: The initial replication indexing process on newly initialized or upgraded clusters now runs asynchronously
sentinel: Add token namespace id and path, available in rules as token.namespace.id and token.namespace.path
ui: The UI is now leveraging OpenAPI definitions to pull in fields for various forms. This means, it will not be necessary to add fields on the go and JS sides in the future. [GH-6209]

BUG FIXES:

auth/jwt: Apply bound_claims validation across all login paths
auth/jwt: Update bound_audiences validation during non-OIDC logins to accept any matched audience, as documented and handled in OIDC logins [GH-30]
auth/token: Fix issue where empty values for token role update call were ignored [GH-6314]
core: The operator migrate command will no longer hang on empty key names [GH-6371]
identity: Fix a panic at login when external group has a nil alias [GH-6230]
namespaces: Clear out identity store items upon namespace deletion
replication/perfstandby: Fixed a bug causing performance standbys to wait longer than necessary after forwarding a write to the active node
replication/mountfilter: Fix a deadlock that could occur when mount filters were updated [GH-6426]
secret/kv: Fix issue where a v1→v2 upgrade could run on a performance standby when using a local mount
secret/ssh: Fix for a bug where attempting to delete the last ssh role in the zeroaddress configuration could fail [GH-6390]
secret/totp: Uppercase provided keys so they don't fail base32 validation [GH-6400]
secret/transit: Multiple HMAC, Sign or Verify operations can now be performed with one API call using the new batch_input parameter [GH-5875]
sys: sys/internal/ui/mounts will no longer return secret or auth mounts that have been filtered. Similarly, sys/internal/ui/mount/:path will return a error response if a filtered mount path is requested. [GH-6412]
ui: Fix for a bug where you couldn't access the data tab after clicking on wrap details on the unwrap page [GH-6404]
ui: Fix an issue where the policies tab was erroneously hidden [GH-6301]
ui: Fix encoding issues with kv interfaces [GH-6294]

1.0.3.1 (March 14th, 2019) (Enterprise Only)

SECURITY:

A regression was fixed in replication mount filter code introduced in Vault 1.0 that caused the underlying filtered data to be replicated to secondaries. This data was not accessible to users via Vault's API but via a combination of privileged configuration file changes/Vault commands it could be read. Upgrading to this version or 1.1 will fix this issue and cause the replicated data to be deleted from filtered secondaries. More information was sent to customer contacts on file.

1.0.3 (February 12th, 2019)

CHANGES:

New AWS authentication plugin mounts will default to using the generated role ID as the Identity alias name. This applies to both EC2 and IAM auth. Existing mounts that explicitly set this value will not be affected but mounts that specified no preference will switch over on upgrade.
The default policy now allows a token to look up its associated identity entity either by name or by id [GH-6105]
The Vault UI's navigation and onboarding wizard now only displays items that are permitted in a users' policy [GH-5980, GH-6094]
An issue was fixed that caused recovery keys to not work on secondary clusters when using a different unseal mechanism/key than the primary. This would be hit if the cluster was rekeyed or initialized after 1.0. We recommend rekeying the recovery keys on the primary cluster if you meet the above requirements.

FEATURES:

cURL Command Output: CLI commands can now use the -output-curl-string flag to print out an equivalent cURL command.
Response Headers From Plugins: Plugins can now send back headers that will be included in the response to a client. The set of allowed headers can be managed by the operator.

IMPROVEMENTS:

auth/aws: AWS EC2 authentication can optionally create entity aliases by role ID [GH-6133]
auth/jwt: The supported set of signing algorithms is now configurable [JWT plugin GH-16]
core: When starting from an uninitialized state, HA nodes will now attempt to auto-unseal using a configured auto-unseal mechanism after the active node initializes Vault [GH-6039]
secret/database: Add socket keepalive option for Cassandra [GH-6201]
secret/ssh: Add signed key constraints, allowing enforcement of key types and minimum key sizes [GH-6030]
secret/transit: ECDSA signatures can now be marshaled in JWS-compatible fashion [GH-6077]
storage/etcd: Support SRV service names [GH-6087]
storage/aws: Support specifying a KMS key ID for server-side encryption [GH-5996]

BUG FIXES:

core: Fix a rare case where a standby whose connection is entirely torn down to the active node, then reconnects to the same active node, may not successfully resume operation [GH-6167]
cors: Don't duplicate headers when they're written [GH-6207]
identity: Persist merged entities only on the primary [GH-6075]
replication: Fix a potential race when a token is created and then used with a performance standby very quickly, before an associated entity has been replicated. If the entity is not found in this scenario, the request will forward to the active node.
replication: Fix issue where recovery keys would not work on secondary clusters if using a different unseal mechanism than the primary.
replication: Fix a "failed to register lease" error when using performance standbys
storage/postgresql: The Get method will now return an Entry object with the Key member correctly populated with the full path that was requested instead of just the last path element [GH-6044]

1.0.2 (January 15th, 2019)

SECURITY:

When creating a child token from a parent with bound_cidrs, the list of CIDRs would not be propagated to the child token, allowing the child token to be used from any address.

CHANGES:

secret/aws: Role now returns credential_type instead of credential_types to match role input. If a legacy role that can supply more than one credential type, they will be concatenated with a ,.
physical/dynamodb, autoseal/aws: Instead of Vault performing environment variable handling, and overriding static (config file) values if found, we use the default AWS SDK env handling behavior, which also looks for deprecated values. If you were previously providing both config values and environment values, please ensure the config values are unset if you want to use environment values.
Namespaces (Enterprise): Providing "root" as the header value for X-Vault-Namespace will perform the request on the root namespace. This is equivalent to providing an empty value. Creating a namespace called "root" in the root namespace is disallowed.

FEATURES:

InfluxDB Database Plugin: Use Vault to dynamically create and manage InfluxDB users

IMPROVEMENTS:

auth/aws: AWS EC2 authentication can optionally create entity aliases by image ID [GH-5846]
autoseal/gcpckms: Reduce the required permissions for the GCPCKMS autounseal [GH-5999]
physical/foundationdb: TLS support added. [GH-5800]

BUG FIXES:

api: Fix a couple of places where we were using the LIST HTTP verb (necessary to get the right method into the wrapping lookup function) and not then modifying it to a GET; although this is officially the verb Vault uses for listing and it's fully legal to use custom verbs, since many WAFs and API gateways choke on anything outside of RFC-standardized verbs we fall back to GET [GH-6026]
autoseal/aws: Fix reading session tokens when AWS access key/secret key are also provided [GH-5965]
command/operator/rekey: Fix help output showing -delete-backup when it should show -backup-delete [GH-5981]
core: Fix bound_cidrs not being propagated to child tokens
replication: Correctly forward identity entity creation that originates from performance standby nodes (Enterprise)
secret/aws: Make input credential_type match the output type (string, not array) [GH-5972]
secret/cubbyhole: Properly cleanup cubbyhole after token revocation [GH-6006]
secret/pki: Fix reading certificates on windows with the file storage backend [GH-6013]
ui (enterprise): properly display perf-standby count on the license page [GH-5971]
ui: fix disappearing nested secrets and go to the nearest parent when deleting a secret - [GH-5976]
ui: fix error where deleting an item via the context menu would fail if the item name contained dots [GH-6018]
ui: allow saving of kv secret after an errored save attempt [GH-6022]
ui: fix display of kv-v1 secret containing a key named "keys" [GH-6023]

1.0.1 (December 14th, 2018)

SECURITY:

Update version of Go to 1.11.3 to fix Go bug golang/go#29233 which corresponds to CVE-2018-16875
Database user revocation: If a client has configured custom revocation statements for a role with a value of "", that statement would be executed verbatim, resulting in a lack of actual revocation but success for the operation. Vault will now strip empty statements from any provided; as a result if an empty statement is provided, it will behave as if no statement is provided, falling back to the default revocation statement.

CHANGES:

secret/database: On role read, empty statements will be returned as empty slices instead of potentially being returned as JSON null values. This makes it more in line with other parts of Vault and makes it easier for statically typed languages to interpret the values.

IMPROVEMENTS:

cli: Strip iTerm extra characters from password manager input [GH-5837]
command/server: Setting default kv engine to v1 in -dev mode can now be specified via -dev-kv-v1 [GH-5919]
core: Add operationId field to OpenAPI output [GH-5876]
ui: Added ability to search for Group and Policy IDs when creating Groups and Entities instead of typing them in manually

BUG FIXES:

auth/azure: Cache azure authorizer [15]
auth/gcp: Remove explicit project for service account in GCE authorizer [GH-58]
cli: Show correct stored keys/threshold for autoseals [GH-5910]
cli: Fix backwards compatibility fallback when listing plugins [GH-5913]
core: Fix upgrades when the seal config had been created on early versions of vault [GH-5956]
namespaces: Correctly reload the proper mount when tuning or reloading the mount [GH-5937]
secret/azure: Cache azure authorizer [19]
secret/database: Strip empty statements on user input [GH-5955]
secret/gcpkms: Add path for retrieving the public key [GH-5]
secret/pki: Fix panic that could occur during tidy operation when malformed data was found [GH-5931]
secret/pki: Strip empty line in ca_chain output [GH-5779]
ui: Fixed a bug where the web CLI was not usable via the fullscreen command - [GH-5909]
ui: Fix a bug where you couldn't write a jwt auth method config [GH-5936]

1.0.0 (December 3rd, 2018)

SECURITY:

When debugging a customer incident we discovered that in the case of malformed data from an autoseal mechanism, Vault's master key could be logged in Vault's server log. For this to happen, the data would need to be modified by the autoseal mechanism after being submitted to it by Vault but prior to encryption, or after decryption, prior to it being returned to Vault. To put it another way, it requires the data that Vault submits for encryption to not match the data returned after decryption. It is not sufficient for the autoseal mechanism to return an error, and it cannot be triggered by an outside attacker changing the on-disk ciphertext as all autoseal mechanisms use authenticated encryption. We do not believe that this is generally a cause for concern; since it involves the autoseal mechanism returning bad data to Vault but with no error, in a working Vault configuration this code path should never be hit, and if hitting this issue Vault will not be unsealing properly anyways so it will be obvious what is happening and an immediate rekey of the master key can be performed after service is restored. We have filed for a CVE (CVE-2018-19786) and a CVSS V3 score of 5.2 has been assigned.

CHANGES:

Tokens are now prefixed by a designation to indicate what type of token they are. Service tokens start with s. and batch tokens start with b.. Existing tokens will still work (they are all of service type and will be considered as such). Prefixing allows us to be more efficient when consuming a token, which keeps the critical path of requests faster.
Paths within auth/token that allow specifying a token or accessor in the URL have been removed. These have been deprecated since March 2016 and undocumented, but were retained for backwards compatibility. They shouldn't be used due to the possibility of those paths being logged, so at this point they are simply being removed.
Vault will no longer accept updates when the storage key has invalid UTF-8 character encoding [GH-5819]
Mount/Auth tuning the options map on backends will now upsert any provided values, and keep any of the existing values in place if not provided. The options map itself cannot be unset once it's set, but the keypairs within the map can be unset if an empty value is provided, with the exception of the version keypair which is handled differently for KVv2 purposes.
Agent no longer automatically reauthenticates when new credentials are detected. It's not strictly necessary and in some cases was causing reauthentication much more often than intended.
HSM Regenerate Key Support Removed: Vault no longer supports destroying and regenerating encryption keys on an HSM; it only supports creating them. Although this has never been a source of a customer incident, it is simply a code path that is too trivial to activate, especially by mistyping regenerate_key instead of generate_key.
Barrier Config Upgrade (Enterprise): When upgrading from Vault 0.8.x, the seal type in the barrier config storage entry will be upgraded from "hsm-auto" to "awskms" or "pkcs11" upon unseal if using AWSKMS or HSM seals. If performing seal migration, the barrier config should first be upgraded prior to starting migration.
Go API client uses pooled HTTP client: The Go API client now uses a connection-pooling HTTP client by default. For CLI operations this makes no difference but it should provide significant performance benefits for those writing custom clients using the Go API library. As before, this can be changed to any custom HTTP client by the caller.
Builtin Secret Engines and Auth Methods are integrated deeper into the plugin system. The plugin catalog can now override builtin plugins with custom versions of the same name. Additionally the plugin system now requires a plugin type field when configuring plugins, this can be "auth", "database", or "secret".

FEATURES:

Auto-Unseal in Open Source: Cloud-based auto-unseal has been migrated from Enterprise to Open Source. We've created a migrator to allow migrating between Shamir seals and auto unseal methods.
Batch Tokens: Batch tokens trade off some features of service tokens for no storage overhead, and in most cases can be used across performance replication clusters.
Replication Speed Improvements: We've worked hard to speed up a lot of operations when using Vault Enterprise Replication.
GCP KMS Secrets Engine: This new secrets engine provides a Transit-like pattern to keys stored within GCP Cloud KMS.
AppRole support in Vault Agent Auto-Auth: You can now use AppRole credentials when having Agent automatically authenticate to Vault
OpenAPI Support: Descriptions of mounted backends can be served directly from Vault
Kubernetes Projected Service Account Tokens: Projected Service Account Tokens are now supported in Kubernetes auth
Response Wrapping in UI: Added ability to wrap secrets and easily copy the wrap token or secret JSON in the UI

IMPROVEMENTS:

agent: Support for configuring the location of the kubernetes service account [GH-5725]
auth/token: New tokens are indexed in storage HMAC-SHA256 instead of SHA1
secret/totp: Allow @ character to be part of key name [GH-5652]
secret/consul: Add support for new policy based tokens added in Consul 1.4 [GH-5586]
ui: Improve the token auto-renew warning, and automatically begin renewal when a user becomes active again [GH-5662]
ui: The unbundled UI page now has some styling [GH-5665]
ui: Improved banner and popup design [GH-5672]
ui: Added token type to auth method mount config [GH-5723]
