hashicorp/vault v1.18.0 on GitHub

CHANGES:

activity (enterprise): filter all fields in client count responses by the request namespace [GH-27790]
activity (enterprise): remove deprecated fields distinct_entities and non_entity_tokens [GH-27830]
activity log: Deprecated the field "default_report_months". Instead, the billing start time will be used to determine the start time
when querying the activity log endpoints. [GH-27350]
activity log: Deprecates the current_billing_period field for /sys/internal/counters/activity. The default start time
will automatically be set the billing period start date. [GH-27426]
activity: The activity export API now requires the sudo ACL capability. [GH-27846]
activity: The activity export API now responds with a status of 204 instead 400 when no data exists within the time range specified by start_time and end_time. [GH-28064]
activity: The startTime will be set to the start of the current billing period by default.
The endTime will be set to the end of the current month. This applies to /sys/internal/counters/activity,
/sys/internal/counters/activity/export, and the vault operator usage command that utilizes /sys/internal/counters/activity. [GH-27379]

session tags when generating temporary credentials using the AWS secrets
engine. [GH-27620]
Adaptive Overload Protection (enterprise): Enables Adaptive Overload Protection
for write requests as a GA feature (enabled by default) for Integrated Storage.
Audit Entry Exclusion: Audit devices support excluding fields from entries being written to them, with expression-based rules (powered by go-bexpr) to determine when the specific fields are excluded.
Workload Identity Federation UI for AWS (enterprise): Add WIF fields to AWS secrets engine. [GH-28148]
KV v2 Patch/Subkey (enterprise): Adds GUI support to read the subkeys of a KV v2 secret and patch (partially update) secret data. [GH-28212]

audit: Internal implementation changes to the audit subsystem which improve performance. [GH-27952]
audit: Internal implementation changes to the audit subsystem which improve relability. [GH-28286]
audit: sinks (file, socket, syslog) will attempt to log errors to the server operational
log before returning (if there are errors to log, and the context is done). [GH-27859]
auth/cert: Cache full list of role trust information separately to avoid
eviction, and avoid duplicate loading during multiple simultaneous logins on
the same role. [GH-27902]

auth/aws: fixes an issue where not supplying an external id was interpreted as an empty external id [GH-27858]
auth/cert: During certificate validation, OCSP requests are debug logged even if Vault's log level is above DEBUG. [GH-28450]
auth/cert: Merge error messages returned in login failures and include error when present [GH-27202]
auth/cert: Use subject's serial number, not issuer's within error message text in OCSP request errors [GH-27696]
auth/cert: When using ocsp_ca_certificates, an error was produced though extra certs validation succeeded. [GH-28597]
auth/cert: ocsp_ca_certificates field was not honored when validating OCSP responses signed by a CA that did not issue the certificate. [GH-28309]
auth/token: Fix token TTL calculation so that it uses max_lease_ttl tune value for tokens created via auth/token/create. [GH-28498]
auth/token: fixes an edge case bug that "identity_policies" is nil and causes cli vault login error [GH-17007]
auth: Updated error handling for missing login credentials in AppRole and UserPass auth methods to return a 400 error instead of a 500 error. [GH-28441]

setting of 'deny_unauthorized' [GH-27459]
core (enterprise): Fix 500 errors that occurred querying sys/internal/ui/mounts for a mount prefixed by a namespace path when path filters are configured. [GH-27939]

core (enterprise): Fix deletion of MFA login-enforcement configurations on standby nodes
core/audit: Audit logging a Vault request/response checks if the existing context
is cancelled and will now use a new context with a 5 second timeout.
If the existing context is cancelled a new context, will be used. [GH-27531]
core/config: fix issue when using proxy_protocol_behavior with deny_unauthorized,
which causes the Vault TCP listener to close after receiving an untrusted upstream proxy connection. [GH-27589]
core/identity: Fixed an issue where deleted/reassigned entity-aliases were not removed from in-memory database. [GH-27750]
core/seal (enterprise): Fix bug that caused seal generation information to be replicated, which prevented disaster recovery and performance replication clusters from using their own seal high-availability configuration.
