On January 25, 2025, we released authzjwtbearerinjector v0.2.3. This maintenance update focuses on keeping the service secure and stable by updating core dependencies, ensuring that your authorization pipeline remains robust and up-to-date.

What’s new

This release is a targeted maintenance update. We have updated the following key dependencies:

  • gRPC: Upgraded to v1.70.0
  • Go Network Library: Upgraded golang.org/x/net to v0.33.0

While there are no changes to the application’s features or configuration, these updates bring in the latest improvements and patches from the Go and gRPC ecosystems.

Why it matters

In a security-critical component like an External Authorization service, staying current with core libraries is essential. By updating gRPC and the network stack, we ensure that the service benefits from the latest performance optimizations and security fixes. This minimizes the attack surface and maintains the high reliability required for injecting JWT tokens into your backend requests.

Getting started with v0.2.3

Since authzjwtbearerinjector is typically deployed as a sidecar container, upgrading is straightforward. Simply update the image tag to v0.2.3 in your deployment configuration and restart the service. This is a non-breaking release, so no changes to your existing YAML configurations or environment variables are required.
