Changes

Breaking changes

Changes to the CSRF protection implementation may cause failures when upgrading:

• Portainer fails to start with a fatal log entry like failed to build server | error="invalid url for trusted origin... trusted_origin: \"portainer.example.com\"". The new implementation requires each entry in the trusted origins list to be a full URL including scheme (e.g. https://portainer.example.com/); bare hostnames are no longer accepted.
• Browser requests return 403 Forbidden on state-changing actions, with CSRF check failed entries in the server logs. This means the browser's origin is not in the trusted origins list and needs to be added.

The previous CSRF implementation can be re-enabled by starting Portainer with the legacy-csrf feature flag (-feat legacy-csrf). This flag is provided for 2.41 only and is scheduled for removal in 2.42 — please report any problems so they can be addressed before the flag is removed.

New and improved features

• Added support for deploying Helm chart edge stacks sourced from Helm repositories and Git repositories.
• Reworked Docker stack creation and deployment to an async flow for consistent behaviour with Compose.
• Kubernetes Manifest GitOps stacks can now be edited after deployment — admins can update the Git repository URL, reference, manifest filename, and credentials from the application detail view instead of tearing down and recreating the stack.
• Added TUI (text-based UI) application support to the Web Console and kubectl shell, including proper terminal resize handling.
• Added a "Redeploy" button to the Git-backed stack detail view for pulling and redeploying from the repository.
• Added visible rendering of special and non-printable characters in the web code editor.
• Added Edit YAML and Describe actions to Services, Jobs, CronJobs, Roles, RoleBindings, ClusterRoles, and ClusterRoleBindings datatables in the Kubernetes UI.
• Added support for pruning unused Docker images from the Images list, with a confirmation modal.
• Refreshed the navigation bar and page header styling.
• Added a registry-access notice on Kubernetes app create/edit and Helm install/upgrade views to guide users to configure registry access.
• Added a GitOps Workflows page — a new top-level sidebar item that lists every GitOps workflow across environments and edge stacks with a status summary bar, sortable list, and cross-jump to each stack's edit view. The backing API is RBAC-aware: admins see everything; Edge admins see Edge-stack workflows; environment and Kubernetes-namespace operators see workflows scoped to what they manage; standard users see workflows on stacks they can access via team membership.
• Added custom namespace support when deploying Helm-based edge stacks.
• Home UI improvements to highlight environment groups.

Security improvements

• Bumped Go toolchain to 1.26.2 to remediate the following CVEs:
  • CVE-2026-32280 (crypto/x509 excessive chain-building work in Verify, denial of service)
  • CVE-2026-32281 (crypto/x509 inefficient policy validation, denial of service)
  • CVE-2026-32283 (crypto/tls 1.3 key update deadlock, uncontrolled resource consumption)
  • CVE-2026-33810 (crypto/x509 excluded DNS constraints not applied to wildcard domains in different case)
• Bumped helm.sh/helm/v4 to v4.1.4 to remediate the following CVEs:
  • CVE-2026-35204 (plugin version path traversal enables arbitrary file write; GHSA-vmx8-mqv2-9gmg)
  • CVE-2026-35205 (plugin missing-provenance signature-verification bypass; GHSA-q5jf-9vfq-h4h7)
• Bumped github.com/moby/spdystream to v0.5.1 to remediate CVE-2026-35469.
• Upgraded the bundled Docker binary from v29.3.0 to v29.4.1 (agent, server-ce, server-ee, compose-unpacker), picking up Go 1.25.8 and 1.25.9 to mitigate the following CVEs:
  • CVE-2026-25679
  • CVE-2026-27142
  • CVE-2026-27139
  • CVE-2026-32280
  • CVE-2026-32281

  • CVE-2026-32288

Bug fixes

• Fixed keyword search failing to highlight matches in application and container log views.
• Fixed several data races in Kubernetes environment detection by switching to transactional code.
• Fixed a use-after-close data race in the endpoint force-update service.
• Cached the MOTD on the server to eliminate a banner-related layout shift on page load.
• Fixed published-port rendering in the Containers list so the icon and port text appear on the same row instead of wrapping to separate lines.
• Fixed the Container details page rendering as empty when the container reports a healthcheck with an empty Log array (the check now uses health.Log?.length).
• Fixed the Deploy button not re-enabling when editing a running stack's YAML.
• Reworked the stack update flow to the async model already used for stack create.
• Fixed a goroutine leak in the Kubernetes pod exec websocket handler.
• Fixed InvalidateUserKeyCache returning an incorrect value.
• Fixed Git repository errors returning raw HTML by returning a clean error message instead.
• Fixed a "missing file" error when updating a Git-backed stack's repository URL.
• Fixed Git credentials not being saved when creating or updating repository-backed stacks.
• Suppressed noisy error toasts from repository validation queries by honouring the meta.error flag.
• Reduced noisy repository validation requests and fixed assorted errors on the GitOps form.
• Fixed a data race in Docker service restore caused by a shared handler field.
• Added a success toast when a stack is deployed.
• Fixed several potential nil-pointer dereferences across Kubernetes (applications, cronjob, ingress, job, pod, custom resources), LDAP, EKS, and Edge revoke code paths.
• Fixed the volume dropdown blanking out after selection when creating a container — the selected volume name now stays visible in the control.
• Fixed kubectl shell issues including closing the terminal on Ctrl+D.
• Fixed a data race in the portainer-updater container health checker.
• Fixed a resource leak in the portainer-updater log query helper.
• Fixed a websocket data race and goroutine leak by adding proper locking around hijacked connections.
• Fixed Edge stack retry on the agent: the FirstAction timestamp was captured once and never reset, causing retries to silently stop working 7 days after the agent first saw a stack. It's now reset on each deployment so retries work for the configured window from the latest action.
• Fixed Kubernetes CronJob executions showing identical lists for same-named CronJobs across namespaces.
• Removed the non-functional items-per-page selector from the Kubernetes CronJob executions datatable.
• Fixed malformed YAML documents in the Kubernetes web editor.
• Fixed an issue where a modal could outgrow the viewport and not be visible.
• Adjusted page header padding and spacing, and fixed breadcrumb first-item rendering.
