-# CVE-2025-7458 — SQLite integer overflow.
-# Package: libsqlite3-0.
-# Why ignored: transitive dependency of CPython's stdlib sqlite3 module. The
-# Prowler SDK does not open user-supplied SQLite databases; SQLite usage is
-# internal and bounded. No Debian bookworm fix is available.

-# CVE-2026-43185 — Linux kernel ksmbd signedness bug.

-# Why ignored: linux-libc-dev ships kernel headers for build-time compilation,
-# not a running kernel. Containers execute against the host kernel, so these
-# headers are inert at runtime. The upstream fix landed in kernel 7.0-rc2 and
-# has not been backported to Debian's 6.1 LTS line.

-# Packages: zlib1g, zlib1g-dev.
-# Why ignored: Debian Security Tracker status for bookworm is <ignored>, with
-# the published rationale "contrib/minizip not built and src:zlib not producing
-# binary packages" — i.e. the vulnerable symbol is not present in the libz.so
-# shipped by Debian. Real-not-affected, not unpatched. Upstream fix is in
-# zlib 1.3.1, available in Debian trixie (13); migrating the base image would

-# 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

-# `xml.parsers.expat` and `xml.etree.ElementTree`.
-# 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.

+# Trivy suppressions for the prowlercloud/prowler SDK and API container images.
+#
+# This file replaces the classic .trivyignore, which parsed only the CVE id: the
+# `pkg:` selector written on each line was documentation and the entry suppressed
+# its CVE across every package in the image. The `purls` field below is honoured,
+# so each entry is scoped to the package it names. Verified against Trivy 0.71.2:
+# an entry given the wrong purl leaves the finding reported, where the classic
+# format suppressed it.
+#
+# `expired_at` forces re-review. Keep the dates staggered.
+#
+# The four entries below are currently redundant: the scan runs with ignore-unfixed,
+# and none of them has a published fix, so they never reach the gate either way. They
+# are kept because the reasoning is what justifies accepting them, and because they
+# apply again the moment any of them gains a fix we do not take.
+#
+# perl-base is Debian "Essential: yes". Trivy spreads src:perl CVEs across every
+# binary package built from that source, so perl-base is flagged for modules only
+# perl-modules-* ships. Neither image installs those, and nothing in either
+# invokes perl.
+#
+# Why these four are accepted rather than fixed (reviewed 2026-07-31):
+#
+#   1. No fix exists. All four report no fixed version on perl-base 5.40.1-6.
+#      Debian marks CVE-2026-42496 "fix_deferred" and the other three "affected".
+#      A newer base image, apt upgrade, or a newer Debian release changes nothing.
+#   2. The package cannot be removed. "Essential: yes" means removal needs
+#      dpkg --force-remove-essential, which breaks apt for anything built
+#      downstream from these images.
+#   3. Changing base distribution was evaluated and rejected. Alpine drops perl
+#      entirely, but PowerShell publishes no linux-musl-arm64 build in any
+#      release, so M365 scanning would break on arm64 -- which is what we run in
+#      production. Wolfi keeps glibc and drops perl, but pinnable versioned tags
+#      are a paid tier, so builds would not be reproducibly pinnable.
+#
+# Not-invoked claim verified by sweeping both images for files with a perl
+# shebang, shell/python callers of perl, ELF binaries containing "perl", and
+# .pl/.pm files or perl subprocess calls anywhere in site-packages. The only
+# consumers found are dpkg/debconf/adduser/pam tooling, none of which runs at
+# runtime, plus one build-time script inside the ExchangeOnlineManagement
+# PowerShell module that is never invoked.

+
+## [1.39.0] (Prowler v5.38.0)
+
+### 🚀 Added
+
+- Attack Paths adds 20 AWS privilege-escalation detection queries from pathfinding.cloud, covering service PassRole escalations (Batch, Braket, Cognito Identity, ECS, EMR, EMR Serverless, GameLift, Glue, EC2 Image Builder, Kinesis Analytics, HealthOmics, EventBridge Scheduler, SSM, Step Functions), CodeDeploy and Step Functions existing-resource abuse, role permissions-boundary removal with role assumption, and IAM Identity Center permission-set policy injection [(#12237)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12237)
+- Attack Paths query metadata now carries an outcome (Code execution, Privilege escalation, Public exposure, or Resource inventory), exposed on the queries endpoint so the graph can show a terminal outcome node [(#12344)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12344)
+- Container images now ship an SBOM and build provenance as OCI attestations [(#12352)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12352)
+
+### 🔄 Changed
+
+- Pin the container vulnerability scanner to Trivy v0.72.0, matching prowler-registry and partner-portal [(#12346)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12346)
+
+### 🐞 Fixed
+
+- Compliance report output directory failures are now logged with the exception attached and fingerprinted by `errno` in Sentry, so `ENOSPC`, `ENOENT` and `EACCES` no longer share a single issue [(#12142)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12142)
+- Restored the SDK dependency to `@master` now that the dependency bumps have landed there, and regenerated the lock. The API image no longer builds against a temporary integration branch [(#12309)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12309)
+
+### 🔐 Security
+
+- The API container image now verifies the checksum of every third-party binary it downloads (PowerShell, Trivy, zizmor) before installing it [(#12334)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12334)
+- Upgrade aiohttp to 3.14.3 to pick up the fix for CVE-2026-69244 [(#12340)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12340)
+- Upgrade cryptography to 50.0.0, closing CVE-2026-69247 and CVE-2026-69249 [(#12356)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12356)
+
+---
+
+## [1.38.1] (Prowler v5.37.1)
+
+### 🐞 Fixed
+
+- Entra Conditional Access guest-user checks no longer report false FAILs in M365 scans: microsoft-kiota packages overridden to 1.9.10 so `guestOrExternalUserTypes` (a flags enum Graph serializes as a comma-separated string) deserializes correctly instead of returning an empty list [(#12315)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12315)
+
+### 🔐 Security
+
+- The API container image now builds on Debian 13 (trixie), taking its critical CVE count from 18 to 4 [(#12311)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12311)
+- Bumped PowerShell, Trivy and uv in the API container image, clearing 14 high-severity CVEs [(#12311)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12311)
+- Bumped `workos` and `pyopenssl` so the API can move to `cryptography` 48.0.1 [(#12311)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12311)
+- Removed `gnupg` and `apt-transport-https` from the API container image [(#12311)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12311)
+- The API container image no longer ships `git`; removing it also dropped `perl`, `perl-modules`, `libperl` and `liberror-perl`, clearing 12 critical CVEs. Only `perl-base` remains, which Debian marks Essential and cannot be removed [(#12311)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12311)
+- Removed `pip` from the API container image, clearing two high-severity CVEs in the vendored copies of `setuptools` and `msgpack` [(#12311)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12311)
+- Bumped `pillow` to 12.3.0, `httplib2` to 0.32.0 and `pyasn1` to 0.6.4 to resolve known CVEs [(#12311)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12311)
+
+---
+
+## [1.38.0] (Prowler v5.37.0)
+
+### 🚀 Added
+
+- Attack Paths: four AWS privilege-escalation detection queries from pathfinding.cloud: cross-account role trust (STS-002), wildcard role trust (STS-003), user permissions-boundary removal (IAM-022), and IAM Identity Center permission-set escalation (SSO-001) [(#11460)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11460)
+
+### 🐞 Fixed
+
+- Attack Paths IAM privilege-escalation queries no longer build an all-nodes × all-resource-items cartesian product, fixing runtime errors and timeouts on accounts with many IAM roles, users, or groups [(#12136)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12136)
+- `task_args` serialization no longer returns HTTP 500 errors when Celery truncates stored task keyword arguments [(#12165)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12165)
+- Attack Paths predefined queries on migrated graphs are now scoped with the provider label, letting the graph database seed from its label index instead of a global label scan and preventing query timeouts on Neptune [(#12167)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12167)
+- Authentication with an API key whose owning user was deleted now returns `401` instead of an unhandled `AttributeError`, and user deletion now revokes the user's API keys across all their tenants [(#12210)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12210)
+- AWS Security Hub integrations now persist successful connection checks during finding delivery so their connection status and last checked timestamp stay current [(#12212)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12212)
+- SAML users without a `userType` attribute and without an existing role in the SAML tenant now receive a least-privilege `read_only` fallback role; a numeric suffix is used when that name belongs to a role with different permissions [(#12223)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12223)
+- Social signups create users and authentication records in one database transaction, preventing incomplete accounts when provisioning fails [(#12245)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12245)
+- Requesting integrations with a sparse fieldset that leaves out `configuration` no longer returns HTTP 500 errors when the tenant has a Jira integration [(#12261)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12261)
+
+### 🔐 Security
+
+- Provider deletion and connection checks, scan creation, provider secrets, provider groups, and daily schedules now respect role provider-group visibility [(#12216)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/12216)
+
+---
+
+## [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

+## [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)

+
+---
+
+## [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
+
+- User profile updates now allow users to update their own account while requiring user-management permissions to update other users in the same tenant [(#11792)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11792)
+- Kubernetes provider credentials now reject kubeconfigs using `exec` authentication in Prowler Cloud, preventing user-supplied commands from running on Cloud workers [(#11753)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11753)
+
+---
+
+## [1.33.0] (Prowler v5.32.0)
+
+### 🚀 Added
+
+- Timestamp precision support for `/api/v1/findings` `inserted_at` and `updated_at` filters [(#11754)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11754)
 
 ### 🔄 Changed
 
 - Attack Paths: AWS Neptune is now supported as a persistent sink database, selectable via `ATTACK_PATHS_SINK_DATABASE=neptune` (default `neo4j`), Cartography's (bumped to 0.138.1) per-scan ingest database stays on Neo4j [(#11524)](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/pull/11524)
-
----
-
-## [1.32.2] (Prowler UNRELEASED)

+# Changelog fragments
+
+Each PR adds one small file here instead of editing `CHANGELOG.md` directly, so concurrent PRs never conflict.
+
+- Filename: `<slug>.<type>.md`, e.g. `my-new-check.added.md` (slug is free-form: letters, digits, `.`, `_`, `-`)
+- `<type>` is one of: `added`, `changed`, `deprecated`, `removed`, `fixed`, `security`
+- Content: one line with the changelog entry text, without the PR link and without a trailing period (the PR link is attached automatically at release time)
+- A PR adds as many fragment files as entries it needs, freely mixing types (one file per entry); same-type entries just use different slugs
+
+Fragments are compiled into `CHANGELOG.md` when a release is prepared. Full conventions: `skills/prowler-changelog/SKILL.md`.
