open-vault/CHANGELOG.md

1.3 (Unreleased)

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 beffore 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]

• sys: Add a new set of endpoints under sys/pprof/ that allows profiling information to be extracted [GH-7473]
• sys: Add endpoint that counts the total number of active identity entities [GH-7541]
• sys: sys/seal-status now has a storage_type field denoting what type of storage the cluster is configured to use
• sys/config: Add a new endpoint under sys/config/state/sanitized that returns the configuration state of the server. It excludes config values from storage, ha_storage, and seal stanzas and some values from telemetry due to potential sensitive entries in those fields.

• 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.

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 [KV-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 [JWT-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]

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.

• 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 [JWT-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 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/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 [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 [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]

0.11.6 (December 14th, 2018)

This release contains the three security fixes from 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 and the following bug fixes from 1.0.0/1.0.1:

• namespaces: Correctly reload the proper mount when tuning or reloading the mount [GH-5937]
• replication/perfstandby: Fix audit table upgrade on standbys [GH-5811]
• replication/perfstandby: Fix redirect on approle update [GH-5820]
• secrets/kv: Fix issue where storage version would get incorrectly downgraded [GH-5809]

It is otherwise identical to 0.11.5.

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

• ui: Fix bug where editing secrets as JSON doesn't save properly [GH-5660]
• ui: Fix issue where IE 11 didn't render the UI and also had a broken form when trying to use tool/hash [GH-5714]

0.11.4 (October 23rd, 2018)

CHANGES:

• core: HA lock file is no longer copied during operator migrate [GH-5503]. We've categorized this as a change, but generally this can be considered just a bug fix, and no action is needed.

FEATURES:

• Transit Key Trimming: Keys in transit secret engine can now be trimmed to remove older unused key versions
• Web UI support for KV Version 2: Browse, delete, undelete and destroy individual secret versions in the UI
• Azure Existing Service Principal Support: Credentials can now be generated against an existing service principal

• storage/mysql: Use varbinary instead of varchar when creating HA tables [GH-5529]

0.11.3 (October 8th, 2018)

SECURITY:

• Revocation: A regression in 0.11.2 (OSS) and 0.11.0 (Enterprise) caused lease IDs containing periods (.) to not be revoked properly. Upon startup when revocation is tried again these should now revoke successfully.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• auth/ldap: Listing of users and groups return absolute paths [GH-5537]

• secret/pki: Fix CA generation not allowing OID SANs [GH-5459]

0.11.2 (October 2nd, 2018)

CHANGES:

• sys/seal-status now includes an initialized boolean in the output. If Vault is not initialized, it will return a 200 with this value set false instead of a 400.
• passthrough_request_headers will now deny certain headers from being provided to backends based on a global denylist.
• Token Format: Tokens are now represented as a base62 value; tokens in namespaces will have the namespace identifier appended. (This appeared in Enterprise in 0.11.0, but is only in OSS in 0.11.2.)

FEATURES:

• AWS Secret Engine Root Credential Rotation: The credential used by the AWS secret engine can now be rotated, to ensure that only Vault knows the credentials it is using [GH-5140]
• Storage Backend Migrator: A new operator migrate command allows offline migration of data between two storage backends
• AliCloud KMS Auto Unseal and Seal Wrap Support (Enterprise): AliCloud KMS can now be used a support seal for Auto Unseal and Seal Wrapping

• secrets/aws: WAL Rollback improvements [GH-5202]
• secrets/aws: Allow specifying STS role-default TTLs [GH-5138]
• secrets/pki: Add configuration support for setting NotBefore [GH-5325]
• core: Support for passing the Vault token via an Authorization Bearer header [GH-5397]

0.11.1.1 (September 17th, 2018) (Enterprise Only)

BUG FIXES:

• agent: Fix auth handler-based wrapping of output tokens [GH-5316]
• core: Properly store the replication checkpoint file if it's larger than the storage engine's per-item limit
• core: Improve WAL deletion rate
• core: Fix token creation on performance standby nodes

• core: Always forward tidy operations from performance standby nodes

IMPROVEMENTS:

• auth/aws: add support for key/value pairs or JSON values for iam_request_headers with IAM auth method [GH-5320]
• auth/aws, secret/aws: Throttling errors from the AWS API will now be reported as 502 errors by Vault, along with the original error [GH-5270]
• replication: Start fetching during a sync from where it previously errored

0.11.1 (September 6th, 2018)

SECURITY:

• Random Byte Reading in Barrier: Prior to this release, Vault was not properly checking the error code when reading random bytes for the IV for AES operations in its cryptographic barrier. Specifically, this means that such an IV could potentially be zero multiple times, causing nonce re-use and weakening the security of the key. On most platforms this should never happen because reading from kernel random sources is non-blocking and always successful, but there may be platform-specific behavior that has not been accounted for. (Vault has tests to check exactly this, and the tests have never seen nonce re-use.)

FEATURES:

• AliCloud Agent Support: Vault Agent can now authenticate against the AliCloud auth method.
• UI: Enable AliCloud auth method and Azure secrets engine via the UI.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• core: Logging level for most logs (not including secrets/auth plugins) can now be changed on-the-fly via SIGHUP, reading the desired value from Vault's config file [GH-5280]

BUG FIXES:

• core: Ensure we use a background context when stepping down [GH-5290]
• core: Properly check error return from random byte reading [GH-5277]
• core: Re-add sys/ top-route injection for now [GH-5241]
• core: Policies stored in minified JSON would return an error [GH-5229]
• core: Evaluate templated policies in capabilities check [GH-5250]
• identity: Update MemDB with identity group alias while loading groups [GH-5289]
• secrets/database: Fix nil pointer when revoking some leases [GH-5262]
• secrets/pki: Fix sign-verbatim losing extra Subject attributes [GH-5245]
• secrets/pki: Remove certificates from store when tidying revoked certificates and simplify API [GH-5231]
• ui: JSON editor will not coerce input to an object, and will now show an error about Vault expecting an object [GH-5271]
• ui: authentication form will now default to any methods that have been tuned to show up for unauthenticated users [GH-5281]

0.11.0 (August 28th, 2018)

DEPRECATIONS/CHANGES:

• Request Timeouts: A default request timeout of 90s is now enforced. This setting can be overwritten in the config file. If you anticipate requests taking longer than 90s this setting should be updated before upgrading.
• (NOTE: will be re-added into 0.11.1 as it broke more than anticipated. There will be some further guidelines around when this will be removed again.)
  • sys/ Top Level Injection: For the last two years for backwards compatibility data for various sys/ routes has been injected into both the Secret's Data map and into the top level of the JSON response object. However, this has some subtle issues that pop up from time to time and is becoming increasingly complicated to maintain, so it's finally being removed.
• Path Fallback for List Operations: For a very long time Vault has automatically adjusted list operations to always end in a /, as list operations operates on prefixes, so all list operations by definition end with /. This was done server-side so affects all clients. However, this has also led to a lot of confusion for users writing policies that assume that the path that they use in the CLI is the path used internally. Starting in 0.11, ACL policies gain a new fallback rule for listing: they will use a matching path ending in / if available, but if not found, they will look for the same path without a trailing /. This allows putting list capabilities in the same path block as most other capabilities for that path, while not providing any extra access if list wasn't actually provided there.
• Performance Standbys On By Default: If you flavor/license of Vault Enterprise supports Performance Standbys, they are on by default. You can disable this behavior per-node with the disable_performance_standby configuration flag.
• AWS Secret Engine Roles: The AWS Secret Engine roles are now explicit about the type of AWS credential they are generating; this reduces reduce ambiguity that existed previously as well as enables new features for specific credential types. Writing role data and generating credentials remain backwards compatible; however, the data returned when reading a role's configuration has changed in backwards-incompatible ways. Anything that depended on reading role data from the AWS secret engine will break until it is updated to work with the new format.
• Token Format (Enterprise): Tokens are now represented as a base62 value; tokens in namespaces will have the namespace identifier appended.

FEATURES:

• Namespaces (Enterprise): A set of features within Vault Enterprise that allows Vault environments to support Secure Multi-tenancy within a single Vault Enterprise infrastructure. Through namespaces, Vault administrators can support tenant isolation for teams and individuals as well as empower those individuals to self-manage their own tenant environment.
• Performance Standbys (Enterprise): Standby nodes can now service requests that do not modify storage. This provides near-horizontal scaling of a cluster in some workloads, and is the intra-cluster analogue of the existing Performance Replication feature, which replicates to distinct clusters in other datacenters, geos, etc.
• AliCloud OSS Storage: AliCloud OSS can now be used for Vault storage.
• AliCloud Auth Plugin: AliCloud's identity services can now be used to grant access to Vault. See the plugin repository for more information.
• Azure Secrets Plugin: There is now a plugin (pulled in to Vault) that allows generating credentials to allow access to Azure. See the plugin repository for more information.
• HA Support for MySQL Storage: MySQL storage now supports HA.
• ACL Templating: ACL policies can now be templated using identity Entity, Groups, and Metadata.
• UI Onboarding wizards: The Vault UI can provide contextual help and guidance, linking out to relevant
