+## `v1.17.3`
+
+This patch release addresses several vulnerabilities reported by the Trivy
+security scanner. It is built with the latest version of Go 1.23.
+
+We have increased the ACME challenge authorization timeout to two minutes, which we hope will fix a timeout error (`error waiting for authorization`), which has been reported by multiple users, since the release of cert-manager `v1.16.0`.
+This change should fix the following issues: [`#7337`][#7337], [`#7444`][#7444], and [`#7685`][#7685].
