CVE-2026-115365

OpenBao is an identity-based secrets management system. Prior to version 2.5.3, when the initial namespace deletion fails, subsequent retries do not properly remove all data before marking the namespace as deleted.

OpenBao is an open source identity-based secrets management system. Prior to 2.6.0, OpenBao's handleLogicalRecovery path in http/logical.go compared the highly privileged recovery token with ordinary string equality. A remote unauthenticated attacker able to make repeated recovery mode requests and measure response timing could infer the recovery token. The recovered token could then authorize recovery mode operations that read or modify OpenBao data. This issue is fixed in version 2.6.0.

OpenBao prior to version 2.5.2 does not prompt for user confirmation when logging in via JWT/OIDC with a role set to `callback_mode=direct`. This allows an attacker to perform remote phishing by having the victim visit a URL and automatically log into the attacker's session.

OpenBao from 2.5.0 before 2.6.2 fails to enforce the PKI role allowed_ip_sans_cidr restriction on IP SANs taken from a CSR when use_csr_sans is enabled. Authenticated callers with sign permission can submit a CSR with an out-of-range IP SAN to pki/sign/<role> and obtain CA-signed certificates for unauthorized IPs.

OpenBao from 2.3.0 before 2.6.3 contains an improper authorization vulnerability that allows privileged child-namespace tokens to modify plugin registrations because /v1/sys/plugins/catalog/* is not restricted to the root namespace. Attackers can remove existing registrations, create invalid ones, or register installed plugins through a child namespace's sys/ mount, causing denial of service.

OpenBao before 2.6.3 contains a missing authorization check that allows attackers to stop Agent and Proxy services by omitting the X-Vault-Header. When require_request_header is enabled, attackers can send requests via server-side request forgery to /agent/v1/quit or /proxy/v1/quit to shut down these services.

OpenBao 2.2.0 before 2.6.4 and 2.7.0 before 2.7.1 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that exposes the tls_acme_eab_mac_key value through the sys/config/state/sanitized endpoint. Callers of the sanitized configuration endpoint can retrieve the ACME External Account Binding MAC key used for TLS listener certificates, letting them bind to the operator's ACME account.

OpenBao before 2.6.4 and 2.7.x before 2.7.1 does not check Secret ID expiration at use in the AppRole auth method, leaving expired Secret IDs valid until the periodic tidy removes them. An attacker holding an expired, untidied Secret ID can log in and gain access beyond its TTL.

An ACL bypass vulnerability in OpenBao silently drops explicit deny rules based on forbidden identity metadata templates within wildcard grants. An attacker whose identity metadata contains wildcard or path segments can access paths that should be denied within the broader wildcard-granted scope.

An open redirect vulnerability in OpenBao's UI OIDC identity provider affects users not authenticated to OpenBao. An attacker can craft OIDC links that redirect unauthenticated users to attacker-controlled destinations, enabling phishing or credential theft.
