Anchore Enterprise Release Notes - Version 5.27.5

Anchore Enterprise v5.27.5

Enterprise Service

Requirements

• If upgrading from a v4.x release, please refer to the v4.x –> v5.x Migration Guide.
• If upgrading from a release in the range of v5.0.0 - v5.26.x
  • The upgrade will result in an automatic schema change that will require database downtime. Below are the estimated downtime durations for version that require significant downtime:
    • The v5.3.0 schema change may take more than an hour to complete depending on the amount of data in your reporting system.
    • The v5.6.0 schema change may take 2 hours or more depending on the amount of data in your system.
    • The v5.11.x schema change will take approximately 1-2 minutes to complete for every 1 million vulnerable artifacts in your reporting system.
  • If your Anchore Enterprise deployment is on FIPS enabled hosts and your database is being hosted on Amazon RDS, an upgrade to Postgres 16 or greater is required. For more information please see the FIPS section in Requirements.
• Upgrading from v5.27.0, v5.27.1, v5.27.2, v5.27.3, or v5.27.4 does not require a schema change.
• Minimum recommended memory for the Analyzer and Policy Engine services has been increased from 8GB to 16GB to better support the performance improvements in the new image analysis system. See the Deployment Requirements Documentation for more information.

Security

• Addresses the compromise of the eMudhra intermediate certificate authorities. Anchore Enterprise no longer trusts TLS certificates issued by them: certifi (GHSA-6q48-6c7w-9gw2), AnchoreCTL, and the vulnerability scanner have all been updated.
• Various supporting libraries and dependencies have been updated to address security advisories.

Fixes

• Fixes an issue where malware analysis could fail with AN403 when an image was analyzed while the ClamAV malware database was being updated, most likely on the first analysis after malware scanning is enabled. The analysis now waits for the update to finish.

Deprecations

• Support for OpenStack Swift, which is an open-source object storage system, has been deprecated. Please see Object Storage for a list of supported Object Stores.
• The enterprise-gitlab-scan plugin is being deprecated in favor of using AnchoreCTL directly in your pipelines. Please see GitLab for more information on integrating Anchore Enterprise with GitLab.
• The webhook system managed in the configuration file is being deprecated in favor of the more advanced notification system which can be configured to send notifications to webhook endpoints. Please see Notifications for more information on configuring notifications.
• Images analyzed prior to Anchore Enterprise v4.0.0 will be updated to indicate that their analysis has failed, as Anchore Enterprise no longer supports the analysis artifacts produced prior to v4.0.0. Please ensure that any required images are re-analyzed after upgrading to v5.25.0.
• Images archived prior to Anchore Enterprise v4.0.0 can no longer be restored into the active dataset. Please ensure that any required archived images are restored prior to upgrading to v5.25.0.

UI Updates

UI Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the UI server trusted TLS certificates issued by the compromised eMudhra intermediate CAs. Certificates that chain to emSign ECC Root CA - G3 or AAA Certificate Services (Comodo) are now rejected on connections to Anchore Enterprise Services and other HTTPS endpoints.
• Rebuilt the container image to pick up the Red Hat fix for CVE-2026-111497, an out-of-bounds write in the Brotli decoder library used by the Node.js runtime.
• Various supporting libraries have been updated in order to improve security, performance, and also to remove deprecation warnings from browser and server output logs. Redundant libraries have been removed to reduce the app startup time and overall size.
