 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.10.3] - 2026-02-06
+
+### Security
+
+- Fix an issue where blocklist bypass is possible when using curve P256 since the signature can have 2 valid representations.
+  Both fingerprint representations will be tested against the blocklist.
+  Any newly issued P256 based certificates will have their signature clamped to the low-s form.
+  Nebula will assert the low-s signature form when validating certificates in a future version. [GHSA-69x3-g4r3-p962](https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/security/advisories/GHSA-69x3-g4r3-p962)
