Nov 1, 2025November 2025 monthly summary for hashicorp/boundary development focused on strengthening SSH security through host key verification. Delivered a new SSH Known Hosts File Support feature with a dedicated path flag and integration into the worker configuration to validate SSH connections. This enhances security, auditability, and reliability of SSH workflows in production, aligning with compliance requirements and reducing risk of spoofing or MITM attacks. All work is tracked to a single feature commit and aligns with ongoing security hardening efforts.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 summary for hashicorp/boundary: Focused on stabilizing catalog operations by optimizing transaction boundaries around KMS integration. Moved kms.GetWrapper calls outside CreateCatalog and UpdateCatalog transactions to prevent deadlocks and performance issues. The databaseWrapper is now obtained earlier in the flow, enabling reuse for subsequent cryptographic steps such as HMACing secrets and encrypting sensitive data within catalogs. Implemented as part of the boundary catalog reliability initiative. Impact includes reduced transaction contention, improved throughput for catalog creation/update, and more maintainable code paths.
