Changelog

Unreleased

1.7.0 - 2024-01-17

To avoid confusion, the debug app configuration property has been replaced with the standard DEBUG flask app config. Added ability for new versions of LEMUR_TOKEN_SECRET via the LEMUR_TOKEN_SECRETS config option. This allows for migration and rotation of the secret. Added ENTRUST_INFER_EKU config property which attempts to computes the appropriate EKU value from the csr (default False). Added DIGICERT_CIS_USE_CSR_FIELDS to control the use_csr_fields create certificate API field (default False). Added Digicert source plugin. Enable it with DIGICERT_SOURCE_ENABLED Added AWS ACM source plugin. This plugin retreives all certificates for an account and a region. Added AWS ACM destination plugin. This plugin uploads a certificate to AWS ACM. Allow updating options field via authority update API. Fixed a DoS security issue affecting Windows env via the name parameter of the certificate post endpoint.

1.6.0 - 2023-10-23

Add NTLM auth support for ADCS issuer. Added password complexity requirements: - At least 12 characters (required for your Muhlenberg password)—the more characters, the better - A mixture of both uppercase and lowercase letters - A mixture of letters and numbers - Inclusion of at least one special character, e.g., ! @ # ? ] If you don’t want password complexity requirements, you can set CHECK_PASSWORD_STRENGTH to False. Added ability to limit authority creation to admins only using config option ADMIN_ONLY_AUTHORITY_CREATION. User passwords can now be updated by admins with the update user endpoint. Route53 find_zone_dns now selects the maximum suffix match for zone id (previously we selected the first match).

1.5.0 - 2023-07-05

Fixed a bug where S3 deletes wouldn’t work due to not respecting the configured exportPlugin. Flask 2.3.2 Upgrade. Implemented Click CLI. Removed flask-script. Updated werkzeug to 2.3.6 and jinja2 to 3.1.2. Updated CORS settings to use Flask-CORS Configuration Options. Added new Custom Response Headers option to Lemur Configuration. Added legacy p12 export type to openssl plugin. New versions of openssl produce keystores incompatible with older versions of JDK8, so in some cases it may be useful to export in this format. Note that legacy p12 files do NOT feature strong encryption, and you should not rely on confidentiality of the exported resource.

CLI Command Updates: - runserver cmd has been replaced by the default run cmd. - show_urls cmd has been replaced by the default routes cmd. - clean cmd has been removed. currently there is no default replacement for the clean cmd.

1.4.0 - 2023-04-04

Added support for Python 3.10, Postgres 15, and Ubuntu 22.04. Removed support for Postgres 10 and Ubuntu 18.04.

Python 3.11 is known not to work with the current version of Flask.

Added additional validation and logging for destinations. Destination labels are now limited to 32 characters, and s3 prefixes can no longer begin with /. S3 destination path prefixes now default to “” instead of “None/”

Enforce case consistency in authority signing algorithms. Specifically, this renames SHA384withECDSA -> sha384WithECDSA and SHA512withECDSA -> sha512WithECDSA. Notably, the backend schema will still accept the uppercase equivalents to maintain backwards compatibility.

1.3.2 - 2023-02-24

This release contains a fix for a security vulnerability.

1.3.1 - 2023-02-15

This release contains no changes.

1.3.0 - 2023-02-13

This release contains many dependency updates, and numerous added or improved features over the last year.

Some of the notable changes in this release are: - Removal of AWS S3 destinations and the respetive resources via the UI - No fine-grained authz for role global_cert_issuer - De-activate endpoint (Entrust Plugin) - Remove unsafe paginate method and replace with sort_and_page - Move to github workflows for tests - Detect duplicate certs - Metrics for certificate expiry - Sync source: handling idle/invalidated connection - Sync endpoint: capture error and continue - Domain-level fine-grained authz - Handle and report authz warmup exception - Ensure secondary certificates are not removed when rotating AWS endpoints - Improved metric around expired endpoints - Change pkg_resources call in plugin loading to use resolve rather than load - Log when an expiring deployed certificate is detected - NS1 DNS ACME Plugin - Add a new endpoint that allows updating a certificate owner - Support rotating endpoints with non-unique names via CLI - Restrict multiple accounts on a certificate, by plugin - Moving to dependabot’s auto versioning strategy

Special thanks to all who contributed to this release, notably:

1.2.0 - 2022-01-31

This release fixes a vulnerability where creating an authority automatically granted the selected owner role to the authority creator, which allowed users to grant themselves to arbitrary roles. The owner role is no longer auto-assigned when creating an authority.

Additionally, all authorities now receive a unique role upon creation. Previously, authorities using the same issuer plugin would always share a role (for example, Entrust authorities always used the role “entrust”). Now, authorities are associated with a unique role named in the format issuerPlugin_authority_name_admin. The creator will not be automatically added to this role.

Other notable changes: - The Endpoints UI page now displays endpoint source and allows filtering by source

1.1.0 - 2022-01-10

Introducing new Plugins AuthorizationPlugin(Plugin) and DomainAuthorizationPlugin(AuthorizationPlugin). One can implement a DomainAuthorizationPlugin to check if caller is authorized to issue a certificate for a given Common Name and Subject Alternative Name (SAN) of type DNSName (PR #3889)

Related to the above change (PR #3889), a new column application_name is added to the api_keys table. Null values are allowed making sure this change is backward compatible.

Other notable changes: - A task name is fixed from identity_expiring_deployed_certificates -> identify_expiring_deployed_certificates. The old task name with typo is marked as deprecated and will be removed in future release flagging it as a breaking change. (Thanks to Bob Shannon) - ID filter on certificates UI requires a numeric value.

1.0.0 - 2022-01-06

This is our first major release due to a dependency on Python 3.8. Lemur is now using flake8>=4.0 and pyflakes>=2.4, requiring Python 3.8 or higher. Our GitHub Actions Builds are currently on Python 3.8 and Python 3.9.

0.11.0 - 2022-01-05

This release includes multiple improvements on many fronts. The next release will be a major release, requiring Python 3.8 or higher.

Some of the notable changes in this release are:

  • CloudFront Plugin: a new endpoint with rotation support

  • Improved Endpoint expiration flow; the Sync job now expires old endpoints

  • AWS ELB tag supports to opt-out of auto-rotate for load balancers

  • Membership plugin

  • Moving Travis Build to Node 16

0.10.0 - 2021-06-28

This release introduces a breaking change (PR #3646) to the following API endpoint:

The endpoint is now:

The new endpoint honors the existing notify request parameter, and additionally accepts a new rotation parameter. As a result of this change, the certificate table view now includes rotation switches and filtering by rotation status.

Other notable changes in this release:

  • ACME:

    • New celery task to prevent duplicate certificates from being autorotated

    • ACME DNS-01 Challenges are supported in synchronous mode

    • DNS provider check fails gracefully if not found

Upgrading

Note

This release will need a migration change. Please follow the documentation to upgrade Lemur.

0.7 - 2018-05-07

This release adds LetsEncrypt support with DNS providers Dyn, Route53, and Cloudflare, and expands on the pending certificate functionality. The linux_dst plugin will also be deprecated and removed.

The pending_dns_authorizations and dns_providers tables were created. New columns were added to the certificates and pending_certificates tables, (For the DNS provider ID), and authorities (For options). Please run a database migration when upgrading.

The Let’s Encrypt flow will run asynchronously. When a certificate is requested through the acme-issuer, a pending certificate will be created. A cron needs to be defined to run lemur pending_certs fetch_all_acme. This command will iterate through all of the pending certificates, request a DNS challenge token from Let’s Encrypt, and set the appropriate _acme-challenge TXT entry. It will then iterate through and resolve the challenges before requesting a certificate for each pending certificate. If a certificate is successfully obtained, the pending_certificate will be moved to the certificates table with the appropriate properties.

0.6 - 2018-01-02

Happy Holidays! This is a big release with lots of bug fixes and features. Below are the highlights and are not exhaustive.

Features:

  • Per-certificate rotation policies, requires a database migration. The default rotation policy for all certificates is 30 days. Every certificate will gain a policy regardless of if auto-rotation is used.

  • Adds per-user API Keys, allows users to issue multiple long-lived API tokens with the same permission as the user creating them.

  • Adds the ability to revoke certificates from the Lemur UI/API, this is currently only supported for the digicert CIS and cfssl plugins.

  • Allow destinations to support an export function. Useful for file system destinations e.g. S3 to specify the export plugin you wish to run before being sent to the destination.

  • Adds support for uploading certificates to Cloudfront.

  • Re-worked certificate metadata pane for improved readability.

  • Adds support for LDAP user authentication

Bugs:

  • Closed #767 - Fixed issue with login redirect loop.

  • Closed #792 - Fixed an issue with a unique constraint was violated when replacing certificates.

  • Closed #752 - Fixed an internal server error when validating notification units.

  • Closed #684 - Fixed migration failure when null values encountered.

  • Closes #661 - Fixed an issue where default values were missing during clone operations.

0.5 - 2016-04-08

This release is most notable for dropping support for python2.7. All Lemur versions >0.4 will now support python3.5 only.

Big thanks to neilschelly for quite a lot of improvements to the lemur-cryptography plugin.

Other Highlights:

  • Closed #501 - Endpoint resource as now kept in sync via an expiration mechanism. Such that non-existant endpoints gracefully fall out of Lemur. Certificates are never removed from Lemur.

  • Closed #551 - Added the ability to create a 4096 bit key during certificate creation. Closed #528 to ensure that issuer plugins supported the new 4096 bit keys.

  • Closed #566 - Fixed an issue changing the notification status for certificates without private keys.

  • Closed #594 - Added replaced field indicating if a certificate has been superseded.

  • Closed #602 - AWS plugin added support for ALBs for endpoint tracking.

0.4 - 2016-11-17

There have been quite a few issues closed in this release. Some notables:

  • Closed #284 - Created new models for Endpoints created associated AWS ELB endpoint tracking code. This was the major stated goal of this milestone and should serve as the basis for future enhancements of Lemur’s certificate ‘deployment’ capabilities.

  • Closed #334 - Lemur not has the ability to restrict certificate expiration dates to weekdays.

Several fixes/tweaks to Lemurs python3 support (thanks chadhendrie!)

This will most likely be the last release to support python2.7 moving Lemur to target python3 exclusively. Please comment on issue #340 if this negatively affects your usage of Lemur.

0.3.0 - 2016-06-06

This is quite a large upgrade, it is highly advised you backup your database before attempting to upgrade as this release requires the migration of database structure as well as data.

Upgrading

Please follow the documentation to upgrade Lemur.

Source Plugin Owners

The dictionary returned from a source plugin has changed keys from public_certificate to body and intermediate_certificate to chain.

Issuer Plugin Owners

This release may break your plugins, the keys in issuer_options have been changed from camelCase to under_score. This change was made to break an undue reliance on downstream options maintains a more pythonic naming convention. Renaming these keys should be fairly trivial, additionally pull requests have been submitted to affected plugins to help ease the transition.

Note

This change only affects issuer plugins and does not affect any other types of plugins.

  • Closed #63 - Validates all endpoints with Marshmallow schemas, this allows for

    stricter input validation and better error messages when validation fails.

  • Closed #146 - Moved authority type to first pane of authority creation wizard.

  • Closed #147 - Added and refactored the relationship between authorities and their

    root certificates. Displays the certificates (and chains) next to the authority in question.

  • Closed #199 - Ensures that the dates submitted to Lemur during authority and

    certificate creation are actually dates.

  • Closed #230 - Migrated authority dropdown to an ui-select based dropdown, this

    should be easier to determine what authorities are available and when an authority has actually been selected.

  • Closed #254 - Forces certificate names to be generally unique. If a certificate name

    (generated or otherwise) is found to be a duplicate we increment by appending a counter.

  • Closed #275 - Switched to using Fernet generated passphrases for exported items.

    These are more sounds that pseudo random passphrases generated before and have the nice property of being in base64.

  • Closed #278 - Added ability to specify a custom name to certificate creation, previously

    this was only available in the certificate import wizard.

  • Closed #281 - Fixed an issue where notifications could not be removed from a certificate

    via the UI.

  • Closed #289 - Fixed and issue where intermediates were not being properly exported.

  • Closed #315 - Made how roles are associated with certificates and authorities much more

    explicit, including adding the ability to add roles directly to certificates and authorities on creation.

0.2.2 - 2016-02-05

  • Closed #234 - Allows export plugins to define whether they need

    private key material (default is True)

  • Closed #231 - Authorities were not respecting ‘owning’ roles and their

    users

  • Closed #228 - Fixed documentation with correct filter values

  • Closed #226 - Fixes issue were import_certificate was requiring

    replacement certificates to be specified

  • Closed #224 - Fixed an issue where NPM might not be globally available (thanks AlexClineBB!)

  • Closed #221 - Fixes several reported issues where older migration scripts were

    missing tables, this change removes pre 0.2 migration scripts

  • Closed #218 - Fixed an issue where export passphrases would not validate

0.2.1 - 2015-12-14

  • Fixed bug with search not refreshing values

  • Cleaned up documentation, including working supervisor example (thanks rpicard!)

  • Closed #165 - Fixed an issue with email templates

  • Closed #188 - Added ability to submit third party CSR

  • Closed #176 - Extended support for exporting certificate in P12 format

0.2.0 - 2015-12-02

  • Closed #120 - Error messages not displaying long enough

  • Closed #121 - Certificate create form should not be valid until a Certificate Authority object is available

  • Closed #122 - Certificate API should allow for the specification of preceding certificates

    You can now target a certificate(s) for replacement. When specified the replaced certificate will be marked as ‘inactive’. This means that there will be no notifications for that certificate.

  • Closed #139 - SubCA autogenerated descriptions for their certs are incorrect

  • Closed #140 - Permalink does not change with filtering

  • Closed #144 - Should be able to search certificates by domains covered, included wildcards

  • Closed #165 - Cleaned up expiration notification template

  • Closed #160 - Cleaned up quickstart documentation (thanks forkd!)

  • Closed #144 - Now able to search by all domains in a given certificate, not just by common name

0.1.5 - 2015-10-26

  • SECURITY ISSUE: Switched from use an AES static key to Fernet encryption. Affects all versions prior to 0.1.5. If upgrading this will require a data migration. see: Upgrading Lemur
