August 30, 2024

SECURITY:

core/audit: fix regression where client tokens and token accessors were being
displayed in the audit log in plaintext HCSEC-2024-18

BUG FIXES:

• core/identity: Fixed an issue where deleted/reassigned entity-aliases were not removed from in-memory database. [GH-27750]
• proxy/cache (enterprise): Fixed an issue where Proxy would not correctly update KV secrets when talking to a perf standby. Proxy will now attempt to forward requests to update secrets triggered by events to the active node. Note that this requires allow_forwarding_via_header to be configured on the cluster. [GH-27891]
