+# CVE-2026-55200 — libssh2 out-of-bounds write in ssh2_transport_read() due to
+# an unchecked packet_length field in transport.c (heap corruption, possible RCE).
+# Package: libssh2-1.
+# Why ignored: libssh2-1 is pulled in only as a transitive dependency of libcurl4
+# (installed in the SDK Dockerfile for the networking/PowerShell stack). The
+# vulnerable path is reached exclusively when libssh2 acts as an SSH/SCP/SFTP
+# client parsing transport packets from a server. Prowler never uses libcurl's
+# SSH/SCP/SFTP transports; it talks to cloud provider HTTPS endpoints only, so the
+# affected code is unreachable at runtime. Fixed upstream in libssh2 commit
+# 97acf3df (PR #2052); no Debian bookworm fix is available yet.

+# Packages: the Debian system Python 3.11 (python3.11*, libpython3.11*).
+# Why ignored: the API runs under the Python 3.12 interpreter shipped in its
+# `.venv`; the system `python3.11` is only present because `python3-dev` is
+# pulled in to compile native extensions (xmlsec, lxml) and is never executed
+# at runtime. The vulnerable path requires parsing attacker-controlled XML with
+# the affected interpreter, which Prowler does not do with the system Python.

-- An accessible Neo4j instance (the Docker Compose files already ships a `neo4j` service).
+Two graph backends are supported as the long-lived sink:
-- The following environment variables so Django and Celery can connect:
 
-  | Variable | Description | Default |

-  | `NEO4J_PORT` | Bolt port exposed by Neo4j. | `7687` |
+Select the sink with `ATTACK_PATHS_SINK_DATABASE` (`neo4j` or `neptune`; default `neo4j`).
-  | `NEO4J_USER` / `NEO4J_PASSWORD` | Credentials with rights to create per-tenant databases. | `neo4j` / `neo4j_password` |
+
+> Note: Cartography ingestion always uses a temporary Neo4j database, regardless of the configured sink. The `NEO4J_*` variables below must remain set even when `ATTACK_PATHS_SINK_DATABASE=neptune`.
+
+### Neo4j sink
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `NEO4J_HOST` | Hostname used by the API containers. | `neo4j` |
+| `NEO4J_PORT` | Bolt port exposed by Neo4j. | `7687` |
+| `NEO4J_USER` / `NEO4J_PASSWORD` | Credentials with rights to create per-tenant databases. | `neo4j` / `neo4j_password` |
+
+### Neptune sink
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `NEPTUNE_WRITER_ENDPOINT` | Bolt host for the Neptune writer instance. Required when sink is `neptune`. | _empty_ |
+| `NEPTUNE_READER_ENDPOINT` | Optional reader endpoint for read-only queries. Falls back to the writer when unset. | _empty_ |
+| `NEPTUNE_PORT` | Bolt port exposed by Neptune. | `8182` |
+| `AWS_REGION` | Region the Neptune cluster lives in. Required when sink is `neptune`. | _empty_ |
+
+Neptune authenticates with SigV4 using the standard boto3 credential chain. The worker's IAM role (or `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`) supplies the credentials. There is no Neptune password variable.

 All notable changes to the **Prowler API** are documented in this file.
 
+<!-- changelog: release notes start -->
+
+## [1.37.0] (Prowler v5.36.0)
+
+### 🔄 Changed
+
+- OCI provider secrets no longer require `region`; legacy `region` input is accepted for backwards compatibility but ignored before storing or scanning [(#11741)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11741)
+- Compliance overview ingest now runs in a single transaction per scan with a configurable `COPY` batch size (`DJANGO_COMPLIANCE_COPY_BATCH_SIZE`, default 2000), reducing write pressure on the database [(#11875)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11875)
+
+### 🐞 Fixed
+
+- Scan findings now recover resources missing from the in-memory cache after resource pre-resolution, preventing valid findings from being skipped [(#12002)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12002)
+- Tenant-wide integrations that are not attached to any provider, such as Jira, are now visible and manageable by roles with `manage_integrations` and without unlimited visibility [(#12060)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12060)
+- Output generation now removes the scan's temporary output directory before writing, so a re-run of the task for the same scan (e.g. broker redelivery after a worker is killed mid-run) no longer appends to the previous run's files and duplicates finding rows in the exported CSV and other outputs [(#12097)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12097)
+
+### 🔐 Security
+
+- Integration responses no longer disclose providers outside the visibility of the role, including the resources sideloaded through `?include=providers` [(#12060)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12060)
+- Integration connection checks, Jira issue type lookups and Jira dispatches now resolve the integration through the provider visibility of the role instead of the whole tenant [(#12060)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12060)
+- Roles without unlimited visibility can no longer attach an integration to providers they cannot see, nor edit or delete an integration bound to them [(#12060)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12060)
+- Kubernetes kubeconfig validation now rejects legacy `auth-provider.config.cmd-path` command authentication in Prowler Cloud/API [(#12091)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12091)
+
+---
+
+## [1.36.0] (Prowler v5.35.0)
+
+### 🐞 Fixed
+
+- `attack-paths-scan-perform` Celery tasks now use the configurable long-task time limits instead of the six-hour defaults [(#12009)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12009)
+- Attack Paths scans handle provider deletion races cleanly, detect stale tasks after 16 hours, use backend-specific graph synchronization batches, and report exhausted Neptune write retries with the original database error [(#12019)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12019)
+
+### 🔐 Security
+
+- Jira integration credentials only accept bare Atlassian site names containing letters, numbers, and hyphens [(#12012)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12012)
+- Social account linking requires a verified matching email from both the identity provider and the existing user account without sending account connection notifications [(#12013)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12013)
+
+---
+
+## [1.35.0] (Prowler v5.34.0)
+
+### 🐞 Fixed
+
+- `rls_transaction` now falls back directly to the primary DB for connection-level mid-query read replica failures via `execute_wrapper`, reducing non-streaming read crashes during replica recovery [(#10379)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/10379)
+- RBAC permission gates now combine permissions from every role assigned to a user in the active tenant [(#11979)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11979)
+- `attack-paths-cleanup-stale-scans` now retries worker pings and checks recent scan activity before failing scans and removing temporary databases [(#11986)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11986)
+
+### 🔐 Security
+
+- User role relationship updates are limited to the active tenant to preserve role assignments in other tenants [(#11903)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11903)
+- `api` container image removes the unused Debian `libxml2` runtime package and scopes the `CVE-2026-13221` Trivy exception to unaffected Perl 5.36 packages [(#11991)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11991)
+
+---
+
+## [1.34.2] (Prowler v5.33.2)
+
+### 🐞 Fixed
+
+- Attack Paths graph mutations now retry transient Neptune concurrency and deadline failures, while Neo4j mutations use managed transaction retries [(#11968)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11968)
+- Attack Paths scans now use bounded child node identifiers for normalized list values in Neo4j and Neptune, preventing Neo4j RANGE index key size failures [(#11969)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11969)
+- `scan-summary` aggregation now upserts summaries in deterministic conflict-key order, preventing PostgreSQL deadlocks during concurrent reaggregation [(#11971)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11971)
+
+---
+
+## [1.34.1] (Prowler v5.33.1)
+
+### 🐞 Fixed
+
+- Session tokens are rejected after account password updates [(#11914)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11914)
+- Jira dispatch task results now surface user-facing Jira failure messages [(#11925)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11925)
+- AWS Attack Paths privilege escalation queries no longer fail on Neo4j with `Aggregation column contains implicit grouping expressions` [(#11939)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11939)
+
+### 🔐 Security
+
+- OpenAI-compatible Lighthouse provider base URLs are restricted before connection checks [(#11940)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11940)
+- `LIGHTHOUSE_AI_OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_ALLOWED_HOSTS` environment variable to allow internal hosts as OpenAI-compatible Lighthouse AI base URLs [(#11942)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11942)
+
+---
+
+## [1.34.0] (Prowler v5.33.0)
+
+### 🚀 Added
+
+- Compliance PDF reports no longer require provider credentials: findings are enriched from the provider metadata stored in the database, so reports generate even after the provider secret is deleted or its credentials become invalid [(#11845)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11845)
+
+### 🐞 Fixed
+
+- Provider scans now queue behind active provider scans instead of dispatching concurrently, and resource failed-finding counters retry database conflicts with stable row locking [(#11848)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11848)
+
+---
+
+## [1.33.1] (Prowler v5.32.1)
+
+### 🐞 Fixed
+
+- Attack Paths: Scan rows now have database defaults for `is_migrated` and `sink_backend` so `scan-perform-scheduled` inserts survive deploy skew [(#11826)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11826)
+- Invited users now keep their invitation context when completing authentication with Google, GitHub, or SAML, so the invitation is accepted during login [(#11752)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11752)
+
+### 🔐 Security

+This method is an additional local development workflow. It does not replace the manual local deployment or the Docker deployment described in this guide.
+
+PostgreSQL, Valkey, and Neo4j run with Docker Compose, while Django and the Celery worker run natively through `uv`. Additionally, this workflow creates a `tmux` session with panes for the API, worker, and PostgreSQL logs.
+
+Before using this method, ensure `docker compose`, `tmux`, and `uv` are installed.
+
+This workflow is designed for macOS and should also work on Linux when Docker, `tmux`, and `uv` are available. Windows requires script changes before it can be supported.

+```console
+make dev

+
+The API will be available at:
+
+```console
+http://localhost:8080/api/v1

+
+Use these commands to manage the local stack:

+```console
+make dev-setup   # Bootstrap dependencies, migrations, and fixtures
+make dev-attach  # Attach to the tmux session
+make dev-launch  # Start the stack on fixed ports and attach

+make dev-clean   # Remove stopped development containers
+make dev-wipe    # Stop everything and delete local development data

+# Orphan Celery task recovery
+
+When a worker is terminated mid-task (a deploy, an OOM kill, a node eviction), the
+task it was running can be left non-terminal forever: the `TaskResult` stays
+`STARTED` and nothing re-runs it. This page describes the mechanisms that detect and
+recover allowlisted idempotent orphans so pending-task alerts do not fire. Scan tasks
+are not auto-recovered (re-running a scan is not safe to do automatically); the
+watchdog covers the summary/aggregation and deletion tasks.
+
+## How recovery works
+
+1. **Durable delivery.** The broker is configured so a task message is acknowledged
+   only after the task finishes (`task_acks_late`), one task is reserved at a time
+   (`worker_prefetch_multiplier = 1`), and an abruptly-lost worker re-queues its task
+   (`task_reject_on_worker_lost`). On `SIGTERM` the worker is given a soft-shutdown
+   window (`worker_soft_shutdown_timeout`) to finish or re-queue in-flight work
+   before it is force-killed. `scan-perform`, `scan-perform-scheduled` and
+   `integration-jira` opt out of redelivery with `acks_late=False`, so a crash drops
+   them rather than re-running and duplicating findings or Jira issues. Other
+   non-recovered side-effect tasks keep `acks_late=True`, so the broker can still
+   re-deliver them after a worker loss: the S3 upload rebuilds from worker-local files
+   that did not survive the crash and so no-ops, but Security Hub re-reads findings from
+   the DB and re-sends them to AWS.
+
+2. **Periodic watchdog.** A Beat task, `reconcile-orphan-tasks`, runs every couple of
+   minutes (a `django_celery_beat` periodic task created by migration). For each
+   in-flight task result with an allowlisted idempotent task name, it pings the
+   worker recorded on the task's `TaskResult`:
+   - worker responds -> the task is still running, leave it alone;
+   - worker is gone (and the task started before a short grace window) -> it is a
+     real orphan: the stale task is revoked and marked terminal (clearing the
+     pending/started alert), and the task is re-enqueued from its stored name and
+     kwargs.
+
+   The re-run is safe because only tasks with proven idempotency are allowlisted: the
+   summary/aggregation tasks clear and re-write their own rows, and deletions are
+   idempotent. Scan tasks and external side effects are excluded: re-running a scan is
+   not safe to do automatically, Jira sends would create duplicate issues, the S3
+   upload rebuilds from worker-local files that do not survive a crash, and
+   report/Security Hub recovery is out of scope.
+
+3. **Recovery cap.** A per-task Valkey counter limits how often the same task is
+   re-enqueued. After `--max-attempts` recoveries (default 3) the orphan is marked
+   terminal instead of re-enqueued, so a task that repeatedly kills its worker cannot
+   loop forever.
+
+A Postgres advisory lock ensures that, even with multiple API/worker replicas, only
+one reconciliation runs at a time; the others no-op.
+
+## On-demand command
+
+The same logic is available as a management command, useful right after a deploy or
+for manual intervention:
+
+```bash
+python manage.py reconcile_orphan_tasks            # recover now
+python manage.py reconcile_orphan_tasks --dry-run  # report orphans, change nothing
+python manage.py reconcile_orphan_tasks --grace-minutes 5 --max-attempts 3
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+All settings have safe defaults; override via environment variables.
+
+| Env var | Default | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `DJANGO_CELERY_WORKER_PREFETCH_MULTIPLIER` | `1` | Tasks reserved per worker process. |
+| `DJANGO_CELERY_WORKER_CONCURRENCY` | unset | Optional Celery prefork pool size. When unset, Celery uses its CPU-based default. Set this on worker containers to bound idle memory on hosts with many CPUs. |
+| `DJANGO_CELERY_WORKER_SOFT_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT` | `60` | Seconds the worker drains/re-queues on `SIGTERM` before force-kill. |
+| `DJANGO_CELERY_TASK_TIME_LIMIT` | `21600` (6h) | Hard limit for most tasks; connection checks are capped at 120s. |
+| `DJANGO_CELERY_TASK_SOFT_TIME_LIMIT` | hard - 600 | Soft limit; raises `SoftTimeLimitExceeded` for cleanup. |
+| `DJANGO_CELERY_LONG_TASK_TIME_LIMIT` | `172800` (48h) | Hard limit for scans and provider/tenant deletions, which can legitimately run for more than a day. |
+| `DJANGO_CELERY_LONG_TASK_SOFT_TIME_LIMIT` | long hard - 600 | Soft limit for the long-running tasks above. |
+| `DJANGO_TASK_RECOVERY_ENABLED` | `false` | Master switch for orphan-task recovery, disabled by default (opt-in); set to `true` to enable. When off, no orphan is detected, marked terminal, or re-enqueued (attack-paths stale cleanup still runs). |
+| `DJANGO_TASK_RECOVERY_SUMMARIES_ENABLED` | `true` | Auto re-enqueue orphaned scan summary/aggregation tasks. |
+| `DJANGO_TASK_RECOVERY_DELETIONS_ENABLED` | `true` | Auto re-enqueue orphaned provider/tenant deletion tasks. |
+
+Recovery is opt-in: with the master flag off (the default) the sweep does nothing.
+Once enabled, the per-group flags default to on, so every group recovers unless you
+turn one off; a task whose group flag is off is marked terminal instead of
+re-enqueued.
+
+Turning recovery off only disables this watchdog sweep; it does not change Celery's
+broker-level redelivery (`task_acks_late`/`task_reject_on_worker_lost`), which still
+re-delivers tasks that keep `acks_late=True` on worker loss, independently of this flag.
+
+`task_acks_late` and `task_reject_on_worker_lost` are enabled in `config/celery.py`.
+
+## Deployment requirement
+
+Two conditions must both hold for the soft shutdown to actually drain work:
+
+1. **The worker must receive `SIGTERM`.** The container entrypoint `exec`s the
+   Celery process so it runs as PID 1; otherwise `SIGTERM` from `docker stop`/ECS
+   hits the entrypoint shell, never reaches Celery, and the worker is hard-killed
+   (SIGKILL) at the grace deadline without draining. Custom entrypoints must
+   preserve the `exec`.
+2. **The orchestrator must give the worker enough time** before force-killing it.
+   Set the stop grace period to exceed `DJANGO_CELERY_WORKER_SOFT_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT`
+   plus a margin:
+   - **docker-compose:** `stop_grace_period` on the worker services (set to `120s`).
+   - **AWS ECS:** the worker container `stopTimeout` (configured in the deployment
+     repository).
+
+If either condition is missing, long tasks are still recovered by the watchdog,
+but they are cut mid-run on every deploy instead of draining.
