Hi all,


The Vault team is announcing the release of Vault Community Edition 1.21.1 and Vault Enterprise 1.21.1, 1.20.6, 1.19.12, and 1.16.28. 


The 1.21 Community Edition and Enterprise editions are available on our releases portal [1,10].


As a reminder, if you believe you have found a security issue in Vault, please responsibly disclose by emailing secu...@hashicorp.com and do not use the public issue tracker. Our security policy and our PGP key can be found at [2].


Notable changes in the release are:


  • Azure static credentials - static credentials are now initialized on static role creation instead of the first read

  • Secrets Sync: add parallelization support to sync and unsync operations for secret-key granularity associations

  • Rotation Manager: prevent rotation schedules from erroneously changing timezones on restarts

  • auth/ldap: no longer accept empty passwords, even if deny_null_bind parameter is set to false


See the Changelog at [3] for the full list of improvements and bug fixes.


See the Feature Deprecation Notice and Plans page [8] for our upcoming feature deprecation plans.


Community [6] and Enterprise [7] Docker images will be available soon.

Upgrading


See [4] for general upgrade instructions and [5] for upgrade instructions and known issues.


As always, we recommend upgrading and testing this release in an isolated environment. If you experience any non-security issues, please report them on the Vault GitHub issue tracker or post to the Vault Discuss Forum at [9].


We hope you enjoy Vault 1.21.1!


Sincerely, The Vault Team
