PACKER PLUGIN VAGRANT MOVES TO 1.1.8, CONSUL PATCHES VULNERABLE DEPENDENCIES
By RepoJournal · Filed · About HashiCorp
Packer plugin Vagrant is stepping into v1.1.8 while Consul hardens its dependency chain against known vulnerabilities.
The Packer plugin Vagrant team prepared v1.1.8 [1][2], completing the version bump and copyright header compliance work needed for the release. Over in Consul, engineers merged overrides for vulnerable packages [3][4], tightening the security posture of the orchestrator's dependency graph. On the Vagrant side, routine maintenance continues with updates to ruby/setup-ruby [5] adding support for Ruby 4.0.5 in CI pipelines, while lock-threads bumped to 6.0.2 [6] to keep GitHub Actions automation current. Nomad driver Podman continues nightly snapshot releases [7] for early testing. Nothing critical lands today, but the Consul dependency hardening deserves attention if you're running recent versions.
