February 05, 2026

SECURITY:

• auth/cert: ensure that the certificate being renewed matches the certificate attached to the session.

CHANGES:

• core: Bump Go version to 1.25.6

FEATURES:

• UI: Hashi-Built External Plugin Support: Recognize and support Hashi-built plugins when run as external binaries

IMPROVEMENTS:

• core/managed-keys (enterprise): Allow GCP managed keys to leverage workload identity federation credentials
• sdk: Add alias_metadata to tokenutil fields that auth method roles use.
• secret-sync (enterprise): Added telemetry counters for reconciliation loop operations, including the number of corrections detected, retry attempts, and operation outcomes (success or failure with internal/external cause labels).
• secret-sync (enterprise): Added telemetry counters for sync/unsync operations with status breakdown by destination type, and exposed operation counters in the destinations list API response.

BUG FIXES:

• agent: Fix Vault Agent discarding cached tokens on transient server errors instead of retrying
• core (enterprise): Fix crash when seal HSM is disconnected
• default-auth: Fix issue when specifying "root" explicitly in Default Auth UI
• identity: Fix issue where Vault may consume more memory than intended under heavy authentication load.
• secrets/pki (enterprise): Fix SCEP related digest errors when requests contained compound octet strings
• ui: Fixes login form so ?with=<path> query param correctly displays only the specified mount when multiple mounts of the same auth type are configured with listing_visibility="unauth"
• ui: Reverts Kubernetes CA Certificate auth method configuration form field type to file selector

January 07, 2026

CHANGES:

• auth/oci: bump plugin to v0.20.1
• core: Bump Go version to 1.25.5
• packaging: Container images are now exported using a compressed OCI image layout.
• packaging: UBI container images are now built on the UBI 10 minimal image.
• secrets/azure: Update plugin to v0.25.1+ent. Improves retry handling during Azure application and service principal creation to reduce transient failures.
• storage: Upgrade aerospike client library to v8.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• core: check rotation manager queue every 5 seconds instead of 10 seconds to improve responsiveness
• go: update to golang/x/crypto to v0.45.0 to resolve GHSA-f6x5-jh6r-wrfv, GHSA-j5w8-q4qc-rx2x, GO-2025-4134 and GO-2025-4135.
• rotation: Ensure rotations for shared paths only execute on the Primary cluster's active node. Ensure rotations for local paths execute on the cluster-local active node.
• sdk/rotation: Prevent rotation attempts on read-only storage.
• secrets-sync (enterprise): Added support for a boolean force_delete flag (default: false). When set to true, this flag allows deletion of a destination even if its associations cannot be unsynced. This option should be used only as a last-resort deletion mechanism, as any secrets already synced to the external provider will remain orphaned and require manual cleanup.
• secrets/pki: Avoid loading issuer information multiple times per leaf certificate signing.

BUG FIXES:

• core/activitylog (enterprise): Resolve a stability issue where Vault Enterprise could encounter a panic during month-end billing activity rollover.

• rotation: Fix a bug where a performance secondary would panic if a write was made to a local mount.
• secret-sync (enterprise): Improved unsync error handling by treating cases where the destination no longer exists as successful.
• secrets-sync (enterprise): Corrected a bug where the deletion of the latest KV-V2 secret version caused the associated external secret to be deleted entirely. The sync job now implements a version fallback mechanism to find and sync the highest available active version, ensuring continuity and preventing the unintended deletion of the external secret resource.
• secrets-sync (enterprise): Fix issue where secrets were not properly un-synced after destination config changes.
• secrets-sync (enterprise): Fix issue where sync store deletion could be attempted when sync is disabled.
• ui/pki: Fix handling of values that contain commas in list fields like crl_distribution_points.

Automatic snapshot configurations can now automatically load the snapshot to Vault itself, making it available for recovery. Snapshot management permissions are separated from recovery permissions so that recovery operations can be delegated but controlled.
• UI: Secret Engine Tune Support: Add support for updating secret engine mount configuration via the Tune endpoint
• Vault PKI SCEP Server (Enterprise): Support for the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) has been added to the Vault PKI Plugin. This allows standard SCEP clients to request certificates from a Vault server with no knowledge of Vault APIs.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• ui/activity: Updates running total stats to be displayed via a donut chart.

• activity (enterprise): sys/internal/counters/activity outputs the correct mount type when called from a non root namespace

• core (enterprise): fix a bug where issuing a token in a namespace used root auth configuration instead of namespace auth configuration
• core/activitylog (enterprise): Fix nil panic when trying reload census manager before activity log is setup.
• core/metrics: Add service name prefix for core HA metrics to avoid duplicate, zero-value metrics.
• core/seal (enterprise): Fix a bug that caused the seal rewrap process to abort in the presence of partially sealed entries.
• core/seal: When Seal-HA is enabled, make it an error to persist the barrier keyring when not all seals are healthy. This prevents the possibility of failing to unseal when a different subset of seals are healthy than were healthy at last write.
• core: Fixed issue where under certain circumstances the rotation manager would spawn goroutines indefinitely.
• core: Role based quotas now work for cert auth
• core: interpret all new rotation manager rotation_schedules as UTC to avoid inadvertent use of tz-local

This can artificially inflate the required number of nodes for quorum, leading to a situation where the cluster cannot recover if another leader subsequently becomes unavailable. Vault will now keep an unavailable node in its last known redundancy zone as a non-voter.
• replication (enterprise): Fix bug where group updates fail when processed on a standby node in a PR secondary cluster.
• replication (enterprise): Fix bug with mount invalidations consuming excessive memory.
• secrets-sync (enterprise): GCP locational KMS keys are no longer incorrectly removed when the location name is all lowercase.

• sentinel (enterprise): Fix a Sentinel bug, where the soft-mandatory policy override would not work in overriding request denial. Now, Vault correctly allows requests when the policy override flag is set. Previously, requests were denied even if an override was explicitly set. Error messaging for denied requests is now clearer and more actionable.
• sys/mounts: enable unsetting allowed_response_headers
• ui (enterprise): Fixes login form so input renders correctly when token is a preferred login method for a namespace.
• ui: Fix DR secondary view from not loading/transitioning.

• events (enterprise): Send events downstream to a performance standby node only when there is a subscriber on the standby node with a filter matching the events. [GH-29618]
• events (enterprise): Send events downstream to performance standby nodes in a cluster, removing the need to redirect client event subscriptions to the active node. [GH-29470]

• raft/autopilot: We've updated the autopilot reconciliation logic (by updating the raft-autopilot dependency to v0.3.0) to avoid artificially increasing the quorum in presence of an unhealthy node. Now autopilot will start the reconciliation process by attempting to demote a failed voter node before any promotions, fixing the issue where Vault would initially increase quorum when faced with a failure of a voter node. In certain configurations, especially when using Vault Enterprise Redundancy Zones and losing a voter then a non-voter in quick succession, this would lead to a loss of quorum and cluster failure.
