* sdk: Upgrade to go-secure-stdlib/plugincontainer@v0.4.2, which also bumps github.com/docker/docker to v28.3.3+incompatible ([8f172169](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/commit/8f1721697bba123117f4f98dae4154ef9fe614e5))
* secrets/openldap (enterprise): update plugin to v0.16.1

IMPROVEMENTS:

* auth/ldap: add explicit logging to rotations in ldap [[GH-31401](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/31401)]
* core (enterprise): improve rotation manager logging to include specific lines for rotation success and failure

* core/metrics: Add service name prefix for core HA metrics to avoid duplicate, zero-value metrics. ([91e5f443](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/commit/91e5f44315fb52c37b54e8b0eece1b4390665cc3))
* 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. ([bbe64227](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/commit/bbe64227c586cb34f73d9ae8025398f24aa7e12d))

* raft/autopilot: Fixes an issue with enterprise redundancy zones where, if the leader was in a redundancy zone and that leader becomes unavailable, the node would become an unzoned voter. 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. [[GH-31443](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/31443)]

## 1.19.10 Enterprise
### September 24, 2025

**Enterprise LTS:** Vault Enterprise 1.19 is a [Long-Term Support (LTS)](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/enterprise/lts) release.

SECURITY:

* core: Update github.com/ulikunitz/xz to fix security vulnerability GHSA-25xm-hr59-7c27.

CHANGES:

* core: Updates post-install script to print updated license information
* database/snowflake: Update plugin to [v0.13.3](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault-plugin-database-snowflake/releases/tag/v0.13.3)

IMPROVEMENTS:

* Raft: Auto-join will now allow you to enforce IPv4 on networks that allow IPv6 and dual-stack enablement, which is on by default in certain regions.
* auth/cert: Support RFC 9440 colon-wrapped Base64 certificates in `x_forwarded_for_client_cert_header`, to fix TLS certificate auth errors with Google Cloud Application Load Balancer.

BUG FIXES:

* auth/cert: Recover from partially populated caches of trusted certificates if one or more certificates fails to load.
* core: Fixed issue where under certain circumstances the rotation manager would spawn goroutines indefinitely.
* core: Role based quotas now work for cert auth
* secrets/transit: Fix error when using ed25519 keys that were imported with derivation enabled

## 1.19.9 Enterprise
### August 28, 2025

**Enterprise LTS:** Vault Enterprise 1.19 is a [Long-Term Support (LTS)](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/enterprise/lts) release.

FEATURES:

* **IBM RACF Static Role Password Phrase Management**: Add support for static role password phrase management to the LDAP secrets engine. (https://github.com/hashicorp/vault-plugin-secrets-openldap/pull/184)

SECURITY:

* core: Update github.com/hashicorp/go-getter to fix security vulnerability GHSA-wjrx-6529-hcj3.

CHANGES:

* core: Bump Go version to 1.24.6.
* http: Add JSON configurable limits to HTTP handling for JSON payloads: `max_json_depth`, `max_json_string_value_length`, `max_json_object_entry_count`, `max_json_array_element_count`.
* sdk: Upgrade to go-secure-stdlib/plugincontainer@v0.4.2, which also bumps github.com/docker/docker to v28.3.3+incompatible
* secrets/openldap: update plugin to v0.15.5

IMPROVEMENTS:

* auth/ldap: add explicit logging to rotations in ldap
* core (enterprise): improve rotation manager logging to include specific lines for rotation success and failure
* secrets/database: log password rotation success (info) and failure (error). Some relevant log lines have been updated to include "path" fields.
* secrets/transit: add logging on both success and failure of key rotation
* ui: Use the Helios Design System Code Block component for all readonly code editors and use its Code Editor component for all other code editors

BUG FIXES:

* core (enterprise): fix a bug where issuing a token in a namespace used root auth configuration instead of namespace auth configuration
* core/metrics: Add service name prefix for core HA metrics to avoid duplicate, zero-value metrics.
* 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.
* raft (enterprise): auto-join will now work in regions that do not support dual-stack
* raft/autopilot: Fixes an issue with enterprise redundancy zones where, if the leader was in a redundancy zone and that leader becomes unavailable, the node would become an unzoned voter. 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.
* secrets-sync (enterprise): GCP locational KMS keys are no longer incorrectly removed when the location name is all lowercase.
* secrets/database/postgresql: Support for multiline statements in the `rotation_statements` field.

duplicate identify resources in storage. [[GH-29325](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29325)]
* physical/dynamodb: Allow Vault to modify its DynamoDB table and use per-per-request billing mode. [[GH-29371](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29371)]
* 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. [[GH-29306](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29306)]

CHANGES:

* core: Bump Go version to 1.24.7.
* core: Updates post-install script to print updated license information
* database/snowflake: Update plugin to [v0.12.3](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault-plugin-database-snowflake/releases/tag/v0.12.3)
* sdk: Upgrade to go-secure-stdlib/plugincontainer@v0.4.2, which also bumps github.com/docker/docker to v28.3.3+incompatible

IMPROVEMENTS:

* Raft: Auto-join will now allow you to enforce IPv4 on networks that allow IPv6 and dual-stack enablement, which is on by default in certain regions.
* auth/cert: Support RFC 9440 colon-wrapped Base64 certificates in `x_forwarded_for_client_cert_header`, to fix TLS certificate auth errors with Google Cloud Application Load Balancer.

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.
* raft/autopilot: Fixes an issue with enterprise redundancy zones where, if the leader was in a redundancy zone and that leader becomes unavailable, the node would become an unzoned voter. 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.

## 1.18.5
### February 25, 2025

SECURITY:

* raft/snapshotagent (enterprise): upgrade raft-snapshotagent to v0.2.0

CHANGES:

* core: Bump Go version to 1.23.6
* raft/autopilot (enterprise): Alongside the CE autopilot update, update raft-autopilot-enterprise library to v0.3.0 and add enterprise-specific regression testing.
* secrets/openldap: Update plugin to v0.14.5 [[GH-29551](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29551)]

FEATURES:

* **Plugins**: Allow Enterprise plugins to run externally on Vault Enterprise only.

IMPROVEMENTS:

* 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. [[GH-29306](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29306)]
* ui: Application static breadcrumbs should be formatted in title case. [[GH-29206](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29206)]

* database: Fix a bug where static role passwords are erroneously rotated across backend restarts when using skip import rotation. [[GH-29537](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29537)]
* export API: Normalize the start_date parameter to the start of the month as is done in the sys/counters API to keep the results returned from both of the API's consistent. [[GH-29562](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29562)]
* identity/oidc (enterprise): Fix delays in rotation and invalidation of OIDC keys when there are too many namespaces.
The Cache-Control header returned by the identity/oidc/.well-known/keys endpoint now depends only on the named keys for
the queried namespace. [[GH-29312](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29312)]
* secrets-sync (enterprise): Add new parameters for destination configs to specify allowlists for IP's and ports.

* sdk: Updated golang and dependency versions to be consistent across core, API, SDK to address [[GO-2024-3333](https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2024-3333)] and ensure version consistency [[GH-29422](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29422)]

IMPROVEMENTS:

* plugins (enterprise): The Database secrets engine now allows skipping the automatic rotation of static roles during import.

* export API: Normalize the start_date parameter to the start of the month as is done in the sys/counters API to keep the results returned from both of the API's consistent. [[GH-29562](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29562)]
* plugins (enterprise): Fix plugin registration with artifact when a binary for the same plugin is already present in the plugin directory.
* plugins: plugin registration should honor the `plugin_tmpdir` config [[GH-29978](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29978)]

## 1.17.12 Enterprise
### February 25, 2025

SECURITY:

* raft/snapshotagent (enterprise): upgrade raft-snapshotagent to v0.2.0

CHANGES:

* core: Bump Go version to 1.23.6
* raft/autopilot (enterprise): Alongside the CE autopilot update, update raft-autopilot-enterprise library to v0.3.0 and add enterprise-specific regression testing.
* secrets/openldap: Update plugin to v0.13.5

FEATURES:

* **Plugins**: Allow Enterprise plugins to run externally on Vault Enterprise only.

IMPROVEMENTS:

* 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. [[GH-29306](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29306)]
* ui: Application static breadcrumbs should be formatted in title case. [[GH-29206](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29206)]

* identity/oidc (enterprise): Fix delays in rotation and invalidation of OIDC keys when there are too many namespaces.
The Cache-Control header returned by the identity/oidc/.well-known/keys endpoint now depends only on the named keys for
the queried namespace. [[GH-29312](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29312)]
* secrets-sync (enterprise): Add new parameters for destination configs to specify allowlists for IP's and ports.
* secrets/pki: fixes issue #28749 requiring all chains to be single line of authority. [[GH-29342](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29342)]
* ui (enterprise): Fixes token renewal to ensure capability checks are performed in the relevant namespace, resolving 'Not authorized' errors for resources that users have permission to access. [[GH-29416](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29416)]
* ui/database: Fixes 'cannot update static username' error when updating static role's rotation period [[GH-29498](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29498)]
* ui: Fixes text overflow on Secrets engines and Auth Engines list views for long names & descriptions [[GH-29430](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29430)]

IMPROVEMENTS:

* plugins (enterprise): The Database secrets engine now allows skipping the automatic rotation of static roles during import.
* events (enterprise): Use the `path` event metadata field when authorizing a client's `subscribe` capability for consuming an event, instead of requiring `data_path` to be present in the event metadata.
* ui: Adds navigation for LDAP hierarchical libraries [[GH-29293](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29293)]
* ui: Adds params to postgresql database to improve editing a connection in the web browser. [[GH-29200](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29200)]

BUG FIXES:

* activity: Include activity records from clients created by deleted or disabled auth mounts in Export API response. [[GH-29376](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29376)]

when querying the activity log endpoints. [[GH-27350](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/27350)]
* core/ha (enterprise): Failed attempts to become a performance standby node are now using an exponential backoff instead of a
10 second delay in between retries. The backoff starts at 2s and increases by a factor of two until reaching
the maximum of 16s. This should make unsealing of the node faster in some cases.
* login (enterprise): Return a 500 error during logins when performance standby nodes make failed gRPC requests to the active node. [[GH-28807](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/28807)]

### February 25, 2025

**Enterprise LTS:** Vault Enterprise 1.16 is a [Long-Term Support (LTS)](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/enterprise/lts) release.

SECURITY:

* raft/snapshotagent (enterprise): upgrade raft-snapshotagent to v0.2.0

CHANGES:

* build: Drop `netbsd/386` and `netbsd/arm` builds as downstream modules no longer support them.
* core: Bump Go version to 1.23.6.
* raft/autopilot (enterprise): Alongside the CE autopilot update, update raft-autopilot-enterprise library to v0.3.0 and add enterprise-specific regression testing.
* secrets/openldap: Update plugin to v0.12.4

FEATURES:

* **Plugins**: Allow Enterprise plugins to run externally on Vault Enterprise only.

IMPROVEMENTS:

* 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.

* secrets-sync (enterprise): Add new parameters for destination configs to specify allowlists for IP's and ports.
* secrets/pki: fixes issue #28749 requiring all chains to be single line of authority. [[GH-29342](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29342)]
* ui/database: Fixes 'cannot update static username' error when updating static role's rotation period [[GH-29498](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29498)]

IMPROVEMENTS:

* plugins (enterprise): The Database secrets engine now allows skipping the automatic rotation of static roles during import.

* database/mssql: Fix a bug where contained databases would silently fail root rotation if a custom root rotation statement was not provided. [[GH-29399](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29399)]
* plugins: Fix a bug that causes zombie dbus-daemon processes on certain systems. [[GH-29334](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29334)]
* sdk/database: Fix a bug where slow database connections can cause goroutines to be blocked. [[GH-29097](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29097)]
