identityssoopen-sourcesecurity-patchnon-human-identity
◆Current state
authentik is in maintenance mode on its release branches. 2026.8.5 fixes an endpoints MultipleObjectsReturned error, skips members already in Microsoft Entra groups during sync, stops the Agents tab flashing for unlicensed users, and bumps certificate dependencies after the eMudhra CA compromise. 2026.5.8 backports a longer list, including a consent re-grant error, websocket header handling and pool credential refresh.
◆Where it's heading
Since the 2026.8.0 Agent and Actors release, every entry has been a patch on 2026.8 or an older branch, and the team keeps three branches supported. The fixes are concentrated in sync providers, the proxy outpost and the new Agents UI.
◆Prediction
Expect further 2026.8.x patches and a 2026.11 release candidate; the entries don't yet show what the next feature release contains.

    Release 2026.8.4

    2026.8.4 is a wide bug-fix patch: the proxy outpost stops negotiating HTTP/2 upstream and uses HTTP/1.1 for OAuth backchannel calls, SCIM user conflicts resolve correctly and surface remote error details, and endpoint device lookup no longer fails when one identifier is missing. It is cleanup on the machine-identity surface 2026.8.0 introduced, not new capability.
