Security

• Fixed an issue in the azure_imds server node attestor plugin where attested document validation anchored the first certificate in the PKCS7 certificate bag to the trusted Azure roots, while the signature was verified against a separate signer certificate resolved from the PKCS7 SignerInfo. An attacker could place a legitimate Azure metadata certificate in the bag alongside content signed by an unrelated certificate and have a forged attested document accepted, impersonating an arbitrary virtual machine during node attestation. Thank you Carlo Teubner for reporting this issue.

Changed

  🚨 This is a potentially breaking change if you make use of the JSON output of the CLI 🚨

Changed

• Updated the Go toolchain to 1.26.3.
• Updated golang.org/x/net to v0.55.0, golang.org/x/crypto to v0.52.0, and github.com/go-jose/go-jose/v4 to v4.1.4.

Security

• Fixed an issue in the aws_iid server node attestor plugin where the RSA-2048 PKCS7 attestation path verified the PKCS7 signature against its embedded content but returned the identity document parsed from a separate, attacker-controlled field of the attestation data. An attacker who controlled any EC2 instance could impersonate any other EC2 instance during node attestation, with all downstream attestation decisions operating on the forged identity. Thank you Tianshuo Han for reporting this issue.
• Fixed a TOCTOU issue in the join token data store path where concurrent attestations using the same token could each succeed because tx.Delete() did not report when no row was deleted. The fix uses a read-modify-write transaction with row locking and verifies that exactly one row was deleted. Thank you Tianshuo Han for reporting this issue.

• Upgrade Go to 1.26.2 to address CVE-2026-32282, CVE-2026-32289, CVE-2026-33810, CVE-2026-27144, CVE-2026-27143, CVE-2026-32288, CVE-2026-32283, CVE-2026-27140, CVE-2026-32281

v1.14.4

Fixed

- The version that the agent was reporting at startup would get replaced by an empty string every time the agent re-attests or re-news it's SVID (#6763)

Added

• spire-agent version is now reported to spire-server via the PostStatus API and visible in GetAgent/ListAgents CLI output (#6542)

Changed

• The RequirePQKEM TLS policy now uses the standardized X25519MLKEM768 instead of the draft x25519Kyber768Draft00 (#6703)
• OPA policy evaluation performance improved by ~2x, based on benchmarking, through use of partial evaluation (#6633)

Fixed

• ReadOnlyEntry.Clone() was incorrectly copying the Admin boolean into the Downstream field when applying an output mask, causing clients of GetAuthorizedEntries and SyncAuthorizedEntries to receive corrupted authorization metadata. The Admin and Downstream booleana were not used in spire-agent so there was no impact from this (#6636)
• The periodic node cache rebuild was only executing once instead of running continuously at the configured interval (#6661)
• Race condition in the spire upstream authority plugin during shutdown that could cause a nil pointer dereference on the bundle client (#6590)
• aws_iid attestor AWS request timeout increased from 5s to 20s to prevent intermittent attestation failures in large AWS Organizations (#6558)
• Federated trust bundles are now fetched concurrently, reducing the chance of exceeding the agent sync timeout when there are many federation relationships (#6491)
• JWT-SVID refresh now uses a 1s timeout when a cached SVID already exists, preventing an unresponsive server from blocking delivery of a valid cached SVID (#6454)
• Documentation improvements (#6607, #6608, #6632)

Security

• Selectors are no longer logged at the agent level to avoid potential leakage of sensitive information (#6732)
• Fixed an issue where TLS session ticket resumption on the server TCP endpoint could bypass SPIFFE certificate chain validation against the current trust bundle. TLS session tickets are now disabled on the server side, ensuring VerifyPeerCertificate runs on every connection (#6715)

Security

• Fixed an issue in the http_challenge server node attestor plugin which allowed an attacker to make an SSRF attack. The attacker could potentially redirect the server to a domain that they wouldn't normally have access. spire-server would make an unauthenticated GET request to that domain and return the first 64 bytes of the response to the attacker. Thank you, Oleh Konko (@1seal) for reporting this isuse.
• Fixed an issue in the x509pop server node attestor plugin which allowed an attacker to make spire-server consume large and disproportionate mounts of CPU time for the node attestation process. Thank you Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.

Changed

• The k8s and docker workload attestors now ignore cgroup mountinfo with root == / (#6462)
• spire-server now stops fetching all events if a context cancelled error is returned while processing a list of events (#6472)

Removed

• Removed the deprecated 'retry_rebootstrap' agent config (#6431)
• Removed unused database model, V3AttestedNode (#6381)

Fixed

Security

• Fixed an issue in spire-agent where the WorkloadAPI.ValidateJWTSVID endpoint did not enforce the presence of the exp (expiration) claim in JWT-SVIDs, as required by the SPIFFE specification. This vulnerability has limited impact: by default, SPIRE does not issue JWT-SVIDs without an expiration claim. Exploitation would require federating with a misconfigured or non-compliant trust domain. Thanks to Edoardo Geraci for reporting this issue.
