Harbor vs Infisical: at a glance
What is Harbor?
Harbor 2.15 patches swap Redis for Valkey and tighten registry security.
Harbor is shipping 2.15.x patch candidates with security and dependency work. 2.15.2 replaced Redis with Valkey as the cache backend and moved to Go 1.26. 2.15.3 added a manifest upload size limit, blocked proxy-cache poisoning through robot-name prefixes and neutralised CSV formulas in scan exports. 2.15.4-rc1 relaxes two defaults that had caused regressions: webhooks can reach private networks and legacy signer pulls are allowed.
What is Infisical?
Infisical folds access approvals into one global system and adds Ed25519 signing to KMS.
Infisical releases several times a week, and most releases mix v3 UI migration with fixes. The latest, v0.166.3, moves access approval into a global approval system, adds Ed25519 sign/verify keys to KMS and UltraDNS as an ACME DNS-01 provider, and replaces legacy upgrade dialogs with shared billing components. The weeks before added OAuth 2.0 dynamic secrets, Certificate Manager-wide alerts, PAM resources visible from gateways and GCP gateway enrollment.

Harbor

Harbor 2.15 patches swap Redis for Valkey and tighten registry security.
◆ Current state
Harbor is shipping 2.15.x patch candidates with security and dependency work. 2.15.2 replaced Redis with Valkey as the cache backend and moved to Go 1.26. 2.15.3 added a manifest upload size limit, blocked proxy-cache poisoning through robot-name prefixes and neutralised CSV formulas in scan exports. 2.15.4-rc1 relaxes two defaults that had caused regressions: webhooks can reach private networks and legacy signer pulls are allowed.
◆ Where it's heading
The patch line is closing abuse paths in a registry many teams expose internally, while walking back defaults that broke existing setups. The Valkey switch shows Harbor following the wider move off Redis after its licence change.
◆ Prediction
Expect 2.15.4 to go final with the restored defaults and a refreshed Trivy; the entries don't show what the next minor release contains.
Infisical
7.5INFRA · APIS
Infisical folds access approvals into one global system and adds Ed25519 signing to KMS.
◆ Current state
Infisical releases several times a week, and most releases mix v3 UI migration with fixes. The latest, v0.166.3, moves access approval into a global approval system, adds Ed25519 sign/verify keys to KMS and UltraDNS as an ACME DNS-01 provider, and replaces legacy upgrade dialogs with shared billing components. The weeks before added OAuth 2.0 dynamic secrets, Certificate Manager-wide alerts, PAM resources visible from gateways and GCP gateway enrollment.
◆ Where it's heading
Three tracks run in parallel: the frontend migration to v3 components, PAM and gateways growing into a privileged-access product, and certificate management becoming its own surface. Consolidating approvals into one global system suggests the separate products (secrets, PAM, Certificate Manager) are being pulled onto shared platform services rather than each keeping its own workflow.
◆ Prediction
Expect other approval flows, such as secret change requests or PAM session access, to move onto the global approval system, and the v3 UI migration to finish with a visible cutover. Agent Vault leaving preview is plausible but not yet signaled in these entries.
