07 Remediation
Upgrade to Boundary 0.12.0. After upgrading, users should do one of the following to remediate the issue: * Wait for next worker authentication rotation to occur, typically within one week, at which point the new credentials should be properly encrypted. * Delete the worker from the system and re-authorize it, forcing the worker to generate a new set of credentials immediately, which will be encrypted.
