Terraform 1.11 brings ephemeral values to managed resources with write-only arguments
- HashiCorp Terraform 1.11 is now available, featuring write-only arguments for managed resources.
- Write-only arguments allow the use of ephemeral values in specific resource arguments, enhancing security.

- With write-only arguments, values can only be written to and not read, adding an extra layer of security.
- By using write-only arguments, secrets like passwords can be securely passed to resources without being exposed in artifacts.
- Examples of write-only arguments are master_password_wo in AWS resources and administrator_password_wo in Azure resources.
- Upgrades to Terraform tests include new features like state_key attribute, mocked values during unit tests, and JUnit XML test reports.
- Users can download Terraform 1.11, sign up for HCP Terraform, and explore tutorials for upgrading RDS major versions.
- Partners like Juniper, Palo Alto Networks, and Fortinet are commended for adopting ephemeral values for enhanced security.

A brief history of mass-hacks
- Enterprise cybersecurity tools such as routers, firewalls, and VPNs have software bugs that allow malicious hackers to compromise corporate networks.
- These bugs have led to an increase in mass-hacking campaigns, allowing hackers to abuse security flaws and steal sensitive company data.
- Some of the largest mass-hacks in recent years include using the MOVEit, Ivanti VPN, and Fortra file-transfer tools.
- Hackers also exploited unpatched zero-day vulnerabilities in Cisco’s networking software and the Citrix NetScaler in one of the other hacks.
- ConnectWise ScreenConnect, a popular remote access tool, was one of the tools taken advantage of early this year.
- Palo Alto’s next-generation firewalls also had vulnerabilities that were exploited by hackers later in 2024.
- Cleo Software’s tools were exploited in 2024 to target dozens of the company’s customers.
- In January 2025, Ivanti and Fortinet fell victim to hackers, with SonicWall also reporting that hackers are exploiting their product as well.
- Given the potential impact of these mass-hacks, it's important for organizations to address software bugs in enterprise cybersecurity tools quickly.
