v1.13.0

1.13.0

March 01, 2023

SECURITY:

• secrets/ssh: removal of the deprecated dynamic keys mode. When any remaining dynamic key leases expire, an error stating secret is unsupported by this backend will be thrown by the lease manager. [GH-18874]

CHANGES:

• auth/alicloud: require the role field on login [GH-19005]
• auth/approle: Add maximum length of 4096 for approle role_names, as this value results in HMAC calculation [GH-17768]
• auth: Returns invalid credentials for ldap, userpass and approle when wrong credentials are provided for existent users. This will only be used internally for implementing user lockout. [GH-17104]
• core: Bump Go version to 1.20.1.
• core: Vault version has been moved out of sdk and into main vault module. Plugins using sdk/useragent.String must instead use sdk/useragent.PluginString. [GH-14229]
• logging: Removed legacy environment variable for log format ('LOGXI_FORMAT'), should use 'VAULT_LOG_FORMAT' instead [GH-17822]
• plugins: Mounts can no longer be pinned to a specific builtin version. Mounts previously pinned to a specific builtin version will now automatically upgrade to the latest builtin version, and may now be overridden if an unversioned plugin of the same name and type is registered. Mounts using plugin versions without builtin in their metadata remain unaffected. [GH-18051]
• plugins: GET /database/config/:name endpoint now returns an additional plugin_version field in the response data. [GH-16982]
• plugins: GET /sys/auth/:path/tune and GET /sys/mounts/:path/tune endpoints may now return an additional plugin_version field in the response data if set. [GH-17167]
• plugins: GET for /sys/auth, /sys/auth/:path, /sys/mounts, and /sys/mounts/:path paths now return additional plugin_version, running_plugin_version and running_sha256 fields in the response data for each mount. [GH-17167]
• sdk: Remove version package, make useragent.String versionless. [GH-19068]
• secrets/aws: do not create leases for non-renewable/non-revocable STS credentials to reduce storage calls [GH-15869]
• secrets/gcpkms: Updated plugin from v0.13.0 to v0.14.0 [GH-19063]
• sys/internal/inspect: Turns of this endpoint by default. A SIGHUP can now be used to reload the configs and turns this endpoint on.
• ui: Upgrade Ember to version 4.4.0 [GH-17086]

FEATURES:

• Azure Auth Managed Identities: Allow any Azure resource that supports managed identities to authenticate with Vault [GH-19077]
• Azure Auth Rotate Root: Add support for rotate root in Azure Auth engine [GH-19077]
• Event System (Alpha): Vault has a new opt-in experimental event system. Not yet suitable for production use. Events are currently only generated on writes to the KV secrets engine, but external plugins can also be updated to start generating events. [GH-19194]
• GCP Secrets Impersonated Account Support: Add support for GCP service account impersonation, allowing callers to generate a GCP access token without requiring Vault to store or retrieve a GCP service account key for each role. [GH-19018]
• Kubernetes Secrets Engine UI: Kubernetes is now available in the UI as a supported secrets engine. [GH-17893]
• New PKI UI: Add beta support for new and improved PKI UI [GH-18842]
• PKI Cross-Cluster Revocations: Revocation information can now be synchronized across primary and performance replica clusters offering a unified CRL/OCSP view of revocations across cluster boundaries. [GH-19196]
• Server UDS Listener: Adding listener to Vault server to serve http request via unix domain socket [GH-18227]
• Transit managed keys: The transit secrets engine now supports configuring and using managed keys
• User Lockout: Adds support to configure the user-lockout behaviour for failed logins to prevent brute force attacks for userpass, approle and ldap auth methods. [GH-19230]
• VMSS Flex Authentication: Adds support for Virtual Machine Scale Set Flex Authentication [GH-19077]
• Namespaces (enterprise): Added the ability to allow access to secrets and more to be shared across namespaces that do not share a namespace hierarchy. Using the new sys/config/group-policy-application API, policies can be configured to apply outside of namespace hierarchy, allowing this kind of cross-namespace sharing.
• OpenAPI-based Go & .NET Client Libraries (Beta): We have now made available two new OpenAPI-based Go & .NET Client libraries (beta). You can use them to perform various secret management operations easily from your applications.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Redis ElastiCache DB Engine: Renamed configuration parameters for disambiguation; old parameters still supported for compatibility. [GH-18752]

• auth/approle: When using the Vault and Vault Enterprise (Vault) approle auth method, any authenticated user with access to the /auth/approle/role/:role_name/secret-id-accessor/destroy endpoint can destroy the secret ID of any other role by providing the secret ID accessor. This vulnerability, CVE-2023-24999 has been fixed in Vault 1.13.0, 1.12.4, 1.11.8, 1.10.11 and above. [HSEC-2023-07]
