Hi folks,

The Vault team is announcing the release of Vault 1.13.1, as well as 1.12.5, and 1.11.9!

Open-source binaries can be downloaded at [1, 10, 11]. Enterprise binaries are available to customers as well.

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

The major features and improvements in the 1.13.1 release are:

  • ADP Transform: Fixed loss of intermediate key versions under a specific scenario where config is changed and a restart or leader change occurs followed by a key rotation.
  • Vault as an Software Security Module (SSM): Release of version 0.2.0 of the PKCS#11 Vault Provider [12] that includes mechanisms for encryption, decryption, signing and verification for AES and RSA keys.

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

See the Feature Deprecation Notice and Plans page [7] for our upcoming feature deprecation plans.

Note: Upcoming in Vault 1.14 we will stop publishing official Dockerhub images and publish only our Verified Publisher images. Users of Docker images should pull from “hashicorp/vault” instead of “vault”.

OSS [5] and Enterprise [6] Docker images will be available soon.
