Infisical
5.0INFRA · APIS
Infisical tightens SSO and adds an MCP allowlist to Agent Vault in its latest weekly release.
◆ Current state
Infisical tags a release every few days. Batched secret and folder edits are now always on in the Secrets Overview, and Agent Vault, its credential and proxy manager for AI agents, keeps gaining controls. v0.167.6 adds an MCP tool allowlist, trusts identity-provider MFA for SAML and OIDC, binds SSO sessions to the issuing org, and lets deleted projects be restored within a grace period.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the releases: agent credential management, which now reaches MCP tool scoping, and enterprise hardening across SSO, PAM and code signing. Dynamic secrets keep widening, with Kafka in October and CockroachDB now.
◆ Prediction
Expect Agent Vault to get more policy controls over what agents can call, alongside further dynamic-secret targets.
Verdaccio
5.0INFRA · APIS
Verdaccio's v9 pre-release counter hits 42, and the notes still say nothing
◆ Current state
Verdaccio pushed another lockstep version bump across its monorepo on 4 November, taking the main package to 9.0.0-next-9.42. Every package points to the same pull request, a version update, with no feature or fix notes attached.
◆ Where it's heading
The v9 line keeps iterating under the next-9 pre-release tag with no changelog detail in the feed. A general release has looked close since September and still has not shipped.
◆ Prediction
More next-9 bumps are likely; the feed gives no signal of when 9.0.0 GA lands.
