Release highlights#

SBOM/VEX attestation for all container images

All images are now accompanied by a verified SBOM (Software Bill of Materials), which provides a comprehensive list of components and dependencies used in the container images. VEX (Vulnerability Exploitation eXchange) information is also provided, enabling users to quickly identify potential vulnerabilities and take informed decisions about the urgency of updating to a new version. Triage of the VEX information is still work in progress. Univention continues to enhance the SBOM and VEX offerings, providing more detailed information and improving the user experience.

Changes#

This section lists the changes in 1.16.0 grouped by component in Nubus for Kubernetes.

Management UI#

  • The Management UI now uses an internally maintained Memcached deployment instead of the Bitnami Memcached Helm Chart. This transition doesn’t require configuration changes.

Provisioning Service#

  • Adjust the policy for the incoming stream between the UDM Transformer and the Provisioning Dispatcher, to use Interest mode instead of WorkQueue mode. This change allows the Provisioning to work in Nubus for UCS. The system automatically migrates existing streams during the update by sealing the old stream, draining pending messages, and recreating it with the new policy.

  • Improve performance when handling large messages, particularly in scenarios involving group messages with extensive member lists.

  • Update the bundled NATS to version 2.12.2.

Keycloak#

  • Upgrade Keycloak to version 26.4.6. This includes a security fix for CVE-2025-13467.

Portal Service#

  • Address a critical accessibility issue affecting visually impaired users when navigating modals. Previously, elements under the modal remained focus-able, causing difficulties for users with a screen reader.

Documentation#

  • The Univention Nubus for Kubernetes - Operation Manual [1] includes SMTP server configuration for email sending. Various components in Nubus for Kubernetes require an SMTP server for sending email notifications, such as password reset emails and account verification.
