## What's new

### [<mark style="color:blue;">**DBaaS PostgreSQL v2 API in General Availability**</mark>](/cloud/databases/postgresql/api/v2-api.md)

{% hint style="success" %}
**May 20**

The IONOS CLOUD **DBaaS PostgreSQL v2 API** is now in the General Availability (GA) phase, graduating from Early Access (EA). The PostgreSQL v2 API supports production workloads across all nine IONOS CLOUD regions: Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris, Logroño, London, Worcester, Las Vegas, Lenexa, and Newark.

Any IONOS CLOUD contract can now provision PostgreSQL v2 clusters without prior activation—IONOS CLOUD no longer enforces the EA contract whitelist. For information on capabilities and differences from PostgreSQL v1, see [<mark style="color:blue;">PostgreSQL API Versions</mark>](/cloud/databases/postgresql/api/v1-v2-api-versions.md).

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** The **PostgreSQL v1 API** will be deprecated in an upcoming release. Existing v1 clusters will be automatically migrated to v2—no user action is required. We recommend creating new clusters using PostgreSQL v2 [<mark style="color:blue;">endpoints</mark>](/cloud/databases/postgresql/api/v2-api.md#endpoints) to leverage the new capabilities.

### [<mark style="color:blue;">**Partner Portal Help Centre reorganised and integrated in IONOS CLOUD Documentation**</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/partner-program)

{% hint style="success" %}
**May 20**

The Partner Portal Help Centre has moved from [<mark style="color:blue;">Help Centre</mark>](https://www.ionos.co.uk/help/partner-program/) to [<mark style="color:blue;">IONOS CLOUD Documentation</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud) as the [<mark style="color:blue;">Partner Program</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/partner-program), bringing it into the same space as the IONOS Public Cloud documentation. The content is organised into four sections: **Partner Categories**, **Partner Registration**, **Partner Portal First Steps** with **User Management**, and **Working with the Partner Portal**. Dedicated pages are available for partner registration, partner categories, user login, and account activation.

### [<mark style="color:blue;">**Advisory on CVE-2026-43284 and CVE-2026-43500**</mark>](/cloud/security-safeguards/vulnerability-register/2026/cve-2026-43284.md)

{% hint style="success" %}
**May 18**

Information on the security advisory for **CVE-2026-43284** and **CVE-2026-43500** is now available in the documentation portal. Disclosed on May 7, 2026, this vulnerability, known as **Dirty Frag**, is a local privilege escalation flaw in the Linux kernel affecting the `xfrm-ESP` and `RxRPC` subsystems.

An unprivileged local user can exploit it to gain root access on affected systems, and systems already patched for CVE-2026-31431 remain vulnerable to this separate flaw.

### [<mark style="color:blue;">**Advisory on CVE-2026-31431**</mark>](/cloud/security-safeguards/vulnerability-register/2026/cve-2026-31431.md)

{% hint style="success" %}
**May 18**

Information on the security advisory for **CVE-2026-31431** is now available in the documentation portal. Disclosed on April 30, 2026, this vulnerability, known as **Copy Fail**, is a local privilege escalation flaw in the Linux kernel cryptographic API subsystem. A logic error allows an unprivileged local user to gain root access on affected systems without requiring memory corruption or race conditions, and a working public exploit is available.
